Deformed Complex Hermite Polynomials
We study a class of bivariate deformed Hermite polynomials and some of their
properties using classical analytic techniques and the Wigner map. We also
prove the positivity of certain determinants formed by the deformed
polynomials. Along the way we also work out some additional properties of the
(undeformed) complex Hermite polynomials and their relationships to the
standard Hermite polynomials (of a single real variable).Comment: 12 page
Polynomial solutions of nonlinear integral equations
We analyze the polynomial solutions of a nonlinear integral equation,
generalizing the work of C. Bender and E. Ben-Naim. We show that, in some
cases, an orthogonal solution exists and we give its general form in terms of
kernel polynomials.Comment: 10 page
A Perturbative Approach to the Relativistic Harmonic Oscillator
A quantum realization of the Relativistic Harmonic Oscillator is realized in
terms of the spatial variable and {\d\over \d x} (the minimal canonical
representation). The eigenstates of the Hamiltonian operator are found (at
lower order) by using a perturbation expansion in the constant . Unlike
the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformed version of the relativistic hydrogen atom,
conventional perturbation theory cannot be applied and a perturbation of the
scalar product itself is required.Comment: 9 pages, latex, no figure
Quantum mechanics without potential function
In the standard formulation of quantum mechanics, one starts by proposing a
potential function that models the physical system. The potential is then
inserted into the Schr\"odinger equation, which is solved for the wave
function, bound states energy spectrum and/or scattering phase shift. In this
work, however, we propose an alternative formulation in which the potential
function does not appear. The aim is to obtain a set of analytically realizable
systems, which is larger than in the standard formulation and may or may not be
associated with any given or previously known potential functions. We start
with the wavefunction, which is written as a bounded infinite sum of elements
of a complete basis with polynomial coefficients that are orthogonal on an
appropriate domain in the energy space. Using the asymptotic properties of
these polynomials, we obtain the scattering phase shift, bound states and
resonances. This formulation enables one to handle not only the well-known
quantum systems but also previously untreated ones. Illustrative examples are
given for two- and there-parameter systems.Comment: 25 pages, 1 table, and 3 figure
Solutions of the scattering problem in a complete set of Bessel functions with a discrete index
We use the tridiagonal representation approach to solve the radial
Schr\"odinger equation for the continuum scattering states of the Kratzer
potential. We do the same for a radial power-law potential with inverse-square
and inverse-cube singularities. These solutions are written as infinite
convergent series of Bessel functions with a discrete index. As physical
application of the latter solution, we treat electron scattering off a neutral
molecule with electric dipole and electric quadrupole moments
Impact of localization on Dyson's circular ensemble
A wide variety of complex physical systems described by unitary matrices have
been shown numerically to satisfy level statistics predicted by Dyson's
circular ensemble. We argue that the impact of localization in such systems is
to provide certain restrictions on the eigenvalues. We consider a solvable
model which takes into account such restrictions qualitatively and find that
within the model a gap is created in the spectrum, and there is a transition
from the universal Wigner distribution towards a Poisson distribution with
increasing localization.Comment: To be published in J. Phys.
Some Orthogonal Polynomials Arising from Coherent States
We explore in this paper some orthogonal polynomials which are naturally
associated to certain families of coherent states, often referred to as
nonlinear coherent states in the quantum optics literature. Some examples turn
out to be known orthogonal polynomials but in many cases we encounter a general
class of new orthogonal polynomials for which we establish several qualitative
results.Comment: 21 page
The Dirac-Coulomb Problem: a mathematical revisit
We obtain a symmetric tridiagonal matrix representation of the Dirac-Coulomb
operator in a suitable complete square integrable basis. Orthogonal polynomials
techniques along with Darboux method are used to obtain the bound states energy
spectrum, the relativistic scattering amplitudes and phase shifts from the
asymptotic behavior of the polynomial solutions associated with the resulting
three-term recursion relation.Comment: 8 page
