Dynamical Symmetries of Dirac Hamiltonian

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-05-28 v3 Mathematical Physics math.MP

Abstract

Several dynamical symmetries of the Dirac Hamiltonian are reviewed in a systematic manner and the conditions under which such symmetries hold. These include relativistic spin and orbital angular momentum symmetries, SO(4)\times SU_{\sigma}(2) symmetry for the Dirac Hydrogen atom, SU(3)\times SU_{\sigma}(2) symmetry for the relativistic simple harmonic oscillator. The energy spectrum in each case is calculated from group-theoretic considerations.
