It is shown that both the nonrelativistic and the relativistic problems for the hydrogen atom can be formulated in terms of the generators of the noncompact algebra $O(2,1)$. The possible values of the energy (the Balmer and Sommerfeld formulas, respectively), can be determined by an appropriate choice of the basis (tilt) for the generators in the algebra $O(2,1)$.
