We consider the $g$ factor of a spin-1/2 particle (electron or muon) bound by an arbitrary central field. We present an approach which allows one to express the relativistic $g$ factor in terms of the binding energy. We derive the general…
So far the only seemingly significant indication of a cosmological variation exists for the proton-to-electron mass ratio as stated by Reinhold et al. (2006). The measured indication of variation is based on the combined analysis of H2…
