Nonequivalent complete sets of mutually commuting symmetry operators are classified in a $(2+1)$-dimensional Minkowski (flat) space. For each of the sets we carry out a complete separation of variables in the Dirac equation and find a corresponding electromagnetic potential permitting separation of variables.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-09-14T07:46:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q40", "70S10", "76M60", "81R12" ], "keywords": [ "dimensional dirac equation", "external electromagnetic field", "first-order differential symmetry operators", "electromagnetic potential permitting separation", "equations determining first-order differential" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
