Symmetries of Motion orbital angular momentum is and spin angular momentum ------(2) -----(3) L and S are not constant of motion because they do not commute with Hamiltonian --------- --------(4) Total angular momentum motion i.e., [J, H] = 0 Also is a constant of is constant of motion. Parity operator defined by of motion is also constant -----------------(5) Conserved quantities Consider solution of Dirac eq in the two component form i.e. ------(6) F and G have opposite parity and parity of overall state Is determined by upper component -----(7) Total angular momentum has form -----(8) Upper and lower components of solutions can be expanded in terms of generalized spherical harmonics . Above harmonica are constructed from vector addition of spatial harmonic and spin half states . States are represented as ------(9) Where f and g are function of radial coordinate only.
