Abstract
We generalize the Dirac equation to D + 1 space-time. The conserved angular momentum operators and their quantum numbers are discussed. The eigenfunctions of the total angular momentums are calculated for both odd D and even D cases. The exact solutions of the D +1 -dimensional radial equations of the Dirac equation with a Coulomb plus scalar potential are analytically presented by studying the Tricomi equations obtained from a pair of coupled first-order ones. The eigenvalues are also discussed in some detail.
