Algebraic Nature of Shape-Invariant and Self-Similar Potentials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-similar potentials generalize the concept of shape-invariance which was originally introduced to explore exactly-solvable potentials in quantum mechanics. In this article it is shown that previously introduced algebraic approach to the latter can be generalized to the former. The infinite Lie algebras introduced in this context are shown to be closely related to the q-algebras. The associated coherent states are investigated.

A Coherent State Associated with Shape-invariant Potentials * †
An algebraic treatment of shape-invariant potentials is discussed. By introducing an operator which reparametrizes wave functions, the shape-invariance condition can be related to a generalized Heisenberg-Weyl algebra. It is shown that this makes it possible to define a coherent state associated with the shape-invariant potentials.
متن کاملShape Invariant Natanzon Potentials from Potential Algebra
Using the underlying algebraic structures of Natanzon potentials, we discuss conditions that generate shape invariant potentials. In fact, these conditions give all the known shape invariant potentials corresponding to a translational change of parameters. We also find that while the algebra for the general Natanzon potential is SO(2, 2), a subgroup SO(2, 1) suffices for all the shape invariant...
متن کاملShape - invariant potentials and an associated coherent state
An algebraic treatment of shape-invariant potentials in supersymmetric quantum mechanics is discussed. By introducing an operator which reparametrizes wave functions, the shape-invariance condition can be related to a oscillator-like algebra. It makes possible to define a coherent state associated with the shape-invariant potentials. For a large class of such potentials, it is shown that the in...
متن کاملSelf-similar fractals and arithmetic dynamics
The concept of self-similarity on subsets of algebraic varieties is defined by considering algebraic endomorphisms of the variety as `similarity' maps. Self-similar fractals are subsets of algebraic varieties which can be written as a finite and disjoint union of `similar' copies. Fractals provide a framework in which, one can unite some results and conjectures in Diophantine g...
متن کاملNew Shape Invariant Potentials in Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanical potentials satisfying the property of shape invariance are well known to be algebraically solvable. Using a scaling ansatz for the change of parameters, we obtain a large class of new shape invariant potentials which are reflectionless and possess an infinite number of bound states. They can be viewed as q-deformations of the single soliton solution corresponding to the Rosen...
