SU(1,1)SU(1,1) coherent states for Dirac–Kepler–Coulomb problem in D+1D+1 dimensions with scalar and vector potentials

•We solve the most general Dirac–Kepler–Coulomb problem.•The eigenfunctions and energy spectrum are obtained in a purely algebraic way.•We construct the radial SU(1,1)SU(1,1) coherent states for the Kepler–Coulomb problem.

We decouple the Dirac's radial equations in D+1D+1 dimensions with Coulomb-type scalar and vector potentials through appropriate transformations. We study each of these uncoupled second-order equations in an algebraic way by using an su(1,1)su(1,1) algebra realization. Based on the theory of irreducible representations, we find the energy spectrum and the radial eigenfunctions. We construct the Perelomov coherent states for the Sturmian basis, which is the basis for the unitary irreducible representation of the su(1,1)su(1,1) Lie algebra. The physical radial coherent states for our problem are obtained by applying the inverse original transformations to the Sturmian coherent states.
