Abstract

Relativistic symmetries of the Dirac Hamiltonian with a mixture of spherically symmetric Lorentz scalar and vector potentials are examined from the point of view of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The cases considered include the Coulomb, pseudospin and spin limits relevant, respectively, to atoms, nuclei and hadrons.
