Abstract

It is shown that the Coulomb amplitude is the matrix element of the group element ei(θ+π)J2 evaluated in a continuous basis in SO(4,2). The method is applied to the relativistic Kepler problem without spins, but with the recoil corrections included. The form of the amplitude for this case is believed to be new.
