Path integral solution of a class of potentials related to the Poschl-Teller potential

Ch. Grosche

Published Dec 7, 1989• 58 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Some new exact path integral treatments are presented. These are the path integrals for the symmetric top, the 'smooth step', the Rosen-Morse- and the Manning-Rosen-potential. By appropriate spacetime transformations these path integral problems can be reduced to the path integral problem of the Poschl-Teller potential.

PATH INTEGRAL SOLUTIONS FOR DEFORMED P ÖSCHL–TELLER-LIKE AND CONDITIONALLY SOLVABLE POTENTIALS

Christian Grosche

I discuss in this paper the behaviour of the solutions of the so-called q-hyperbolic potentials, i.e. Pöschl–Teller-like and conditionally solvable potentials, in terms of the path integral formalism. The differences in comparison to the usual Pöschl–Teller-like potentials are investigated, including the discrete energy spectra and the bound state wave-functions. 1 Introduction. In this paper I want to discuss some specific generalisations of Pöschl–Teller related potentials. They are based on a q-deformation of the usual hyperbolic potentials, and are denoted by (we assume without loss of generality q> 0) Consequently we define

General new-time formalism in the path integral

Namik Kemal Pak, İ. Sökmen

We describe a general method of applying point canonical transformations to the path integral followed by the corresponding new-time transformations aimed at reducing an arbitrary one-dimensional problem into an exactly solvable form. Our result is independent of operator-ordering ambiguities by construction. The method is used in getting the exact path-integral solutions of the Coulomb- and Morse-potential problems.

The general Besselian and Legendrian path integrals

Christian Grosche

The general Besselian and Legendrian path integrals based on the confluent and hypergeometric Natanzon potentials are calculated. These two solutions cover all other path-integral representations which are related to the radial harmonic oscillator and the (modified) Pöschl - Teller path integral.

The Path Integral on the Poincaré Disc, the Poincaré Upper Half-Plane and on the Hyperbolic Strip

Ch. Grosche

In this paper rigorous path integral treatments are presented of free motion on the Poincaré disc, the Poincaré upper half-plane and on the hyperbolic strip, three spaces which are analytically equivalent to each other. Whereas the path integral treatments on the disc and on the strip are new, two further path integral treatments are discussed for the Poincaré upper half-plane to the existing one. All the calculations are mainly based on Fourier-expansions of the Feynman kernels which can be easily performed. The remaining path integrals on D, U and S can be reduced to the path integral problems on the pseudosphere Δ2, Liouville quantum mechanics and the modified Pöschl-Teller potential problem, respectively, where the results by means of path integrals are known. The corresponding normalized wave-functions and the energy-spectrum are derived. The energy-spectra are the same in all three spaces and read E = (1/2m) (p2 + 1/4) (p -momentum). The “zero-point” energy E0 = 1/8m is discussed which can be interpreted in terms of the Heisenberg uncertainty relation. The equivalences between the Feynman kernels on Δ2, D, U and S are also discussed.

Towards the Classification of Exactly Solvable Feynman Path Integrals: $δ$-Function Perturbations and Boundary-Problems as Miscellaneous Solvable Models

Christian Grosche

Invited talk given at the ``International Workshop on `Symmetry Methods in Physics' in memory of Ya.\ A.\ Smorodinsky, 5--10 July 1993, Dubna, Russia; to appear in the proceedings. In this contribution I present further results on steps towards a Table of Feynman Path Integrals. Whereas the usual path integral solutions of the harmonic oscillator (Gaussian path integrals), of the radial harmonic oscillator (Besselian path integrals), and the (modified) Pöschl-Teller potential(s) (Legendrian path integrals) are well known and can be performed explicitly by exploiting the convolution properties of the various types, a perturbative method opens other possibilities for calculating path integrals. Here I want to demonstrate the perturbation expansion method for point interactions and boundary problems in path integrals.

Path integrals over the SU(2) manifold and related potentials

I. H. Duru

A path-integral formalism is developed on the SU(2) manifold parametrized in terms of the Euler angles. The Green's function is studied for the P\"oschl-Teller potential and the corresponding wave functions and energy spectrum are obtained.
