Abstract

The relativistic hydrogen atom in an Euclidean space-time of arbitrary number of space dimensions (DD) plus one time dimension is revisited. In particular, numerical solutions of the radial Dirac equation for a generalized Coulombian potential proportional to 1/r(D2)1/r^{(D-2)} are investigated. It is argued that one could not find any physical solution for D4D\geq 4.
