Abstract
An exactly solved ring potential is generated from the central hyperbolic Manning–Rosen potential using the transformation method in the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The basis of the method is coordinate redesignation and extended transformation, comprising a coordinate transformation supplemented by a functional transformation. Application of the coordinate transformation entailing redesignation of the radial coordinate with polar angle to the Schrödinger radial equation for the exactly solved central hyperbolic Manning–Rosen potential in 3D Euclidean space yields a second-order homogeneous angular differential equation. The functional transformation is indispensable in molding the angular differential equation to the Schrödinger angular equation form and, in the process of retrieving the standard Schrödinger angular equation by invoking a plausible ansatz, a new exactly solved ring potential is generated. The transformed angular wave functions for the generated ring potential are normalizable.
