A NOTE ON THE DYNAMICAL SYMMETRY OF THE HYDROGEN ATOM

The quantum mechanics of the hydrogen atom can be solved algebraically by the dynamical symmetry. In this note we introduced firstly Pauli's derivation of the complete relations among the various basic states with the same eigenvalue of the Hamiltonian. Secondly we also derived the same results by using algebraic method and some relations among the associated Legendre functions. As a byproduct, we also obtained a recursive relation of the radial wave functions. By using this recursive relation, we can derive the general radial wave function from the most simple radial wave function which has only an monomial term, much like deriving a general state from the highest weight state by using ladder operators.
