Partial degeneracy breaking of the hydrogen energy spectrum from su_q(2)    [PDF]

P. G. Castro, R. Kullock

In this work we investigate the q-deformation of the so(4) dynamical symmetry of the hydrogen atom using the theory of the quantum group su_q(2), and construct the discrete part of the energy spectrum. This will lead to a partial breaking of the degeneracy of the energy levels and to a reduction of the Hilbert space.
