The Chandrasekhar–Page angular functions for the Dirac equation in the Kerr–Newman background are expanded as series of hypergeometric polynomials, and a three-term recurrence relation is derived for the coefficients in these series. This leads to a transcendental equation for the determination of the separation constant which is obtained initially as a power series and is then iterated by the method of Blanch and Bouwkamp.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
