Abstract

In the paper, for the Kerr field, we prove that Chandrasekhar's Dirac Hamiltonian and the self‐adjoint Hamiltonian with a flat scalar product of the wave functions are physically equivalent. Operators of transformation of Chandrasekhar's Hamiltonian and wave functions to the η representation with a flat scalar product are defined explicitly. If the domain of the wave functions of Dirac's equation in the Kerr field is bounded by two‐dimensional surfaces of revolution around the z axis, Chandrasekhar's Hamiltonian and the self‐adjoint Hamiltonian in the η representation are Hermitian with equality of the scalar products, . image
