Where are generalized angular-momentum operators used in physics?
The usual angular-momentum operators we see in quantum mechanics describe the behavior of a complex-valued function on the sphere as we rotate about each of the three axes. In particular, we can ...

Is there an equivalent of a scalar potential for torques?
For a given scalar potential $V$, it is known that the corresponding force field $\mathbf{F}$ can be computed from
$$
\mathbf{F} = -\nabla V
$$
Suppose a rigid body is placed inside this potential....
