Many Body Current Density from Foldy–Wouthuysen Transformation of the Dirac–Coulomb Hamiltonian

This paper analyzes how special relativity changes the equation for the many-body-induced current density starting from the Foldy–Wouthuysen diagonalization of the Dirac–Coulomb Hamiltonian. This current density differs from that obtained with the Gordon decomposition due to the presence of a spin-o...
