Abstract
In the article arXiv:0903.5277 [quant-ph], we have presented a mathematically rigorous quantum-mechanical treatment of a one-dimensional motion of a particle in the Calogero potential V (x) = αx −2. In such a way, we have described all possible s.a. operators (s.a. Hamiltonians) associated with the formal differential expression ˇH = −d 2 x + αx−2 for the Calogero Hamiltonian. Here, we discuss a new aspect of the problem, the so-called oscillator representation for the Calogero Hamiltonians. As it is know, operators of the form ˆ N = â + â and  = ââ+ are called operators of oscillator type. Oscillator type operators obey several useful properties in case if the elementary operator â and â + are densely defined. It turns out that some s.a. Calogero Hamiltonians are oscillator type operators. We describe such Hamiltonians and find the corresponding mutually adjoint elementary operators. 1
