Hi, I have a question related to the orbital angular momentum.
In the referring to Arfken & Weber Mathematical Methods for physicists-6th edition page 267,
"In the relativistic Dirac equation, orbital angular momentum is no longer conserved, but J=L+S is conserved,"
Here, I want to know why orbital angular momentum isn't conserved in relativistic Dirac equation.
