Recently it has been shown that pseudospin symmetry has its origins in a relativistic symmetry of the Dirac Hamiltonian. Using this symmetry we relate single-nucleon relativistic magnetic moments of states in a pseudospin doublet to the relativistic magnetic dipole transitions between the states in the doublet, and we relate single-nucleon relativistic Gamow-Teller transitions within states in the doublet. We apply these relationships to the Gamow-Teller transitions from {sup 39}Ca to its mirror nucleus {sup 39}K. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}
