In this answer, conservation of LRL vector (classical and quantum) $$ \vec A=\frac1{2m}(\vec p\times \vec L-\vec L\times \vec p)-\frac{q^2}{r}\hat r, $$ was related to $SO(4)$ symmetry, but no further explanation was given. Is it true? How can one prove it?

$\begingroup$ In this doc, section D, $SO(4)$ structure is mentioned. It's not lorentz symmetry. $\endgroup$– LuessiawFeb 2 at 7:22
