Exact Solutions to the Dirac Equation for a Coulomb Potential in D + 1 Dimensions

Abstract: The Dirac equation is generalized to D + 1 space-time. The conserved angular momentum operators and their quantum numbers are discussed.The eigenfunctions of the total angular momenta are calculated for both odd D and even D cases. The radial equations for a spherically symmetric system are derived. The exact solutions for the system with a Coulomb potential are obtained analytically. The energy levels and the corresponding fine structure are also presented.

“…Chen [26] obtained the exact solutions of N -dimensional harmonic oscillator via Laplace transformation. Recent works in mathematical physics have been reported: The algebraic method in which group theory approach has been used in an arbitrary D-dimensional space by [18,27,55,56,65,67], supersymmetry approach in an arbitrary D-dimensional space by [65,66,68,106], quantum gravity theories in extra dimensions by [8,17,81].…”

“…Furthermore, the study of the Schrödinger equation with certain central physical potentials in D dimensions has become an important aspect in Quantum Mechanics, however, such a problem has been extended to the relativistic equation case by [31,34,55,56]. Dong [30] applied a suitable ansatz to obtain the solutions of the D-dimensional radial Schrödinger equation with some anharmonic potentials.…”
