On the nature of "hidden symmetry" or "accidental degeneracy" in the Kepler problem

Abstract

We propose a symmetry of the Dirac equation under the interchange of signs of eigenvalues of the Dirac's K operator. We show that the only potential which obeys this requirement is the Coulomb one for both vector and scalar cases.
