The potential group approach and hypergeometric differential equations

Jingyuan Wu, Y. Alhassid

Open publisher page 97 citations

Abstract

This paper proposes a generalized realization of the potential groups SO(2,1) and SO(2,2) to describe the confluent hypergeometric and the hypergeometric equations, respectively. It implies that the classes of Schrödinger equations with solvable potentials whose analytical solutions are related to the confluent hypergeometric and the hypergeometric functions can be realized in terms of the above group structure.
