DIRAC OSCILLATORS AND QUASI-EXACTLY SOLVABLE OPERATORS
Abstract
The Dirac equation is formulated in the background of three types of physically relevant potentials: scalar, vector and "Dirac-oscillator" potentials. Assuming these potentials to be spherically-symmetric and with generic polynomial forms in the radial variable, we construct the corresponding radial Dirac equation. Cases where this linear spectral equation is exactly solvable or quasi-exactly solvable are worked out in details. When available, relations between the radial Dirac operator and some super-algebra are pointed out.
