Abstract: We construct the Hilbert space costratification of $G=mathrmSU(2)$-quantum gauge theory on a finite spatial lattice in the Hamiltonian approach. We build on previous work where we have implemented the classical gauge orbit strata on quantum level within a suitable holomorphic picture. In this picture, each element $au$ of the classical stratification corresponds to the zero locus of a finite subset $p_i$ of the algebra $mathcalR$ of $G$-invariant representative functions on the complexification of $G^N$. Viewing the invariants as multiplication operators $hat{p}_i$ on the Hilbert space $mathcalH$, the union of their images defines a subspace of $mathcalH$ whose orthogonal complement $mathcal{H}_{a}u$ is the element of the costratification corresponding to $au$. To construct $mathcal{H}_{a}u$, one has to determine the images of the $hat{p}_i$ explicitly. To accomplish that goal, we construct an orthonormal basis in $mathcalH$ and determine the multiplication law for the basis elements, that is, we determine the structure constants of $mathcalR$ in this basis. This part of our analysis applies to any compact Lie group $G$. For $G=mathrmSU(2)$, the above procedure boils down to a problem in combinatorics of angular momentum theory. Using this theory, we obtain the union of the images of the operators $hat{p}_i$ as a subspace generated by vectors whose coefficients with respect to our basis are given in terms of Wigner's $3nj$ symbols. The latter are further expressed in terms of $9j$ symbols. Using these techniques, we are also able to reduce the eigenvalue problem for the Hamiltonian of this theory to a problem in linear algebra.
