May 3, 2018 at 15:42 comment added Bob Hanlon I did not understand that the s Cot[\[Theta]] was supposed to be multiplied by the argument. Just change to (-Derivative[0, 0, 1, 0][#] + I/Sin[\[Theta]] Derivative[0, 0, 0, 1][#] + s Cot[\[Theta]] #) &[ SphericalHarmonicY[l, m, \[Theta], \[Phi]]] There is no 0&

May 3, 2018 at 15:35 comment added Gladaed @BobHanlon it appears that you missed 's Cot[[Theta]] #', which seems to throw a monkey wrench into your solution since it somehow cant evaluate this. (it outputs (0&) at the end of each result). Full line: Y[s_, l_, m_, [Theta]_, [Phi]_] := Simplify[(-1)^ s Sqrt[(l + s)!/(l - s)!] (-Derivative[0, 0, 1, 0][#] + I/Sin[[Theta]] Derivative[0, 0, 0, 1][#] + s Cot[[Theta]] Derivative[0, 0, 0, 0][#]) & [ SphericalHarmonicY[l, m, [Theta], [Phi]]], Assumptions -> {-l <= s <= 0, -[Pi] <= [Phi] <= [Pi], 0 < [Theta] < [Pi]}];

added solution
May 3, 2018 at 15:09 comment added Bob Hanlon You need to write the operator as a pure function and enclose its argument in square brackets: (-Derivative[0, 0, 1, 0][#] + I/Sin[\[Theta]] Derivative[0, 0, 0, 1][#] + s Cot[\[Theta]]) & [ SphericalHarmonicY[l, m, \[Theta], \[Phi]]]
