Abstract
Abstract In this research work, an exact normalised bound eigenstate and energy eigenvalue of the Hulthen potential, for the zero angular momentum within the framework of the non-relativistic time independent Schrödinger wave equation were obtained using the Nikiforov–Uvarov method. Also, their self-adjoint differential creation and annihilation (ladder) operators were derived, andfrom the commutation relations their Casimir operator was defined. These results showed that the non-compact S U ( 1 , 1 ) group is the dynamical group for this exact bound state, described by the representation D + ( i ) with a spectrum bounded below.
