Abstract
Most recently a relativistic quantum mechanical approach to nuclear physics has proven promising.1 However we know from the interacting boson model of nuclei2 and the fermion dynamical symmetry model of nuclei3–5 that nuclear spectra exhibit dynamical symmetries.* Perhaps these symmetries have their basis in a realtivistic theory, particularly since the spinorbit potential is a relativistic effect. For this reason I would like to explore in this Symposium certain Dirac Hamiltonians, although I don’t pretend to come anywhere near the above-stated goal in this talk. The Dirac Hamiltonian I would like to consider is that of a neutral fermion interacting with a tensor field, say for example the electromagnetic field tensor. In this paper I shall use the language of QED since it is our best known realtivistic quantum theory. However, the Hamiltonians can have a more general applicability for example to QHD1 or QCD6.
