A Proof of Generalized Kramers-Pasternack Relation using Hyper-Radial Equation
Abstract
We present a proof of the generalized Kramers-Pasternack relation using the hyper-radial equation approach. Following Kramers' method, we manipulate the radial equation by multiplying it with an expression closely related to terms in the hyper-virial theorem. Through successive integrations by parts, we systematically derive the second Pasternack formula, extending its validity to arbitrary dimensions. This approach provides deeper insights into the algebraic structure of recurrence relations for diagonal radial matrix elements in quantum mechanics.
