Abstract
The spectrum of a charged particle in a constant magnetic field consists of equally-spaced Landau levels En = ℏω (n +½) which are infinitely degenerate. Using the magnetic group we show that this structure is present for any charged system which is rotation-translation invariant. The result is extended to the case of a constant electric field. The separation between baricentric and relative coordinates is discussed.
