1 Appendix A Spin-Weighted Spherical Harmonic Function Here, we review the properties of the spin-weighted spherical harmonic function. In the past, this was mainly applied to the analysis of the gravitational wave (see e.g. Ref. [1. This discussion is based on Refs. [ 4. The spin-weighted spherical harmonic function on D sphere, s Y lm (θ, φ,ismore general expression than the ordinary spherical harmonic function, Y lm (θ, φ, and has additional U(1 symmetry characterized by a spin weight s.thespin-s function such as s Y lm (θ, φ obeys the spin raising and lowering rule as ( s f = e i(s+1ψ s f and ( s f = e i(s 1ψ s f. Here, the spin raising and lowering operators are given by s f (θ, φ = sin s θ [ θ + i csc θ φ sin s θ s f (θ, φ, s f (θ, φ = sin s θ [ θ i csc θ φ sin s θ s f (θ, φ, (A.1 Specifically, the spin raising and lowering operators acting twice on the spin-± function ± f (μ, φ such as the CMB polarization fields can be expressed as ( f (θ, φ = f (θ, φ = μ + ( μ m 1 μ [(1 μ f (μ, φ, m 1 μ [(1 μ f (μ, φ, (A. where μ cos θ and ± f (θ, φ = ± f (μe imφ.

3 Appendix B Wigner D-matrix Here, on the basis of Refs. [, 5, 6, we introduce the properties of the Wigner D-matrix D (l mm, which is the unitary irreducible matrix of rank l + 1 that forms a representation of the rotational group as SU( and SO(. With this matrix, the change of the spin wighted spherical harmonic function under the rotational transformation as ˆn R ˆn is expressed as sy lm (R ˆn = m D (l mm (R s Y lm (ˆn. (B.1 This satisfies the relation as D (l mm (R = ( 1 m m D (l m,m (R = D (l m m (R 1. (B.
