Notes:
The representations of so(4,2) which are applicable to the perturbation treatment of one-electron Hamiltonians of the form H = H0 + λV are discussed, where H0 is a hydrogenic Hamiltonian. A unified construction of the representations of so(2,1) and so(3) is outlined and the representations of so(4) [and also so(3,1)] are then obtained using both the vector operator method and angular momentum recoupling techniques. The merging of so(2,1) and so(4) then leads in a natural way to so(4,2). An outline of perturbation theory applications such as the Stark and Zeeman effects is also given.
