New non-unitary representations in a Dirac hydrogen atom

  • 1. Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Coyoacan DF (Mexico)

Description

New non-unitary representations of the SU(2) algebra are introduced for the case of the Dirac equation with a Coulomb potential; an extra phase, needed to close the algebra, is also introduced. The new representations does not require integer or half-integer labels. The set of operators defined are used to span the complete space of bound-state eigenstates of the problem thus solving it in an essentially algebraic way. (author). Letter-to-the-editor
