Universality of Leading Relativistic Corrections to Bound State Gyromagnetic Ratios

Abstract

We discuss the leading relativistic (nonrecoil and recoil) corrections to bound state $g$-factors of particles with arbitrary spin. These corrections are universal for any spin and depend only on the free particle gyromagnetic ratios. We explain the physical reasons behind this universality.
