Abstract
he particle-antiparticle degrees of freedom and the corresponding intrinsic space are introduced to study the dynamical symmetry of the Dirac particle. As a result, the particle-antiparticle quantum number appears naturally and the Dirac particle has five quantum numbers instead of four. An anti-symmetry of the Dirac Hamiltonian and a dual symmetry of its eigen functions are explored. The operator of the Dirac equation in central potentials is found to be the analog of the helicity operator of ...
