Coulomb angular-momentum intertwining

ID: coulomb-angular-momentum-intertwining

The Coulomb radial factors satisfy . Commuting through its factorized Hamiltonian gives the displayed intertwining relation. A nonzero transformed radial eigenfunction has the same energy in the next angular-momentum sector; this changes the radial sector, rather than being the usual magnetic-quantum-number raising operator within a fixed multiplet.
