Classical Oscillator with Position-dependent Mass in a Complex Domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study complexified Harmonic Oscillator with a position-dependent mass, termed as Complex Exotic Oscillator (CEO). The complexification induces a gauge invariance [19, 11]. The role of PT -symmetry is discussed from the perspective of classical trajectories of CEO for real energy. Some trajectories of CEO are similar to those for the particle in a quartic potential in the complex domain [10, 32]. PACS: 03.65.Ca, 03.65.Ge

The Lock-in Phenomenon in VIV using A Modified Wake Oscillator Model for both High and Low Mass-Damping Ratio
In the present paper the behavior of an elastically mounted cylinder in low and high mass-damping ratio is investigated. For high mass-damping ratio, a classical wake oscillator model is used. At the first, by neglecting all damping and nonlinear terms of this model, the possibility of using a linear model for determination of the lock-in range and the dominant mode is investigated. Then, w...
متن کامل-Symmetric Cubic Anharmonic Oscillator as a Physical Model
We perform a perturbative calculation of the physical observables, in particular pseudoHermitian position and momentum operators, the equivalent Hermitian Hamiltonian operator, and the classical Hamiltonian for the PT -symmetric cubic anharmonic oscillator, H = 1 2mp 2+ 1 2μ 2x2+iǫx3. Ignoring terms of order ǫ4 and higher, we show that this system describes an ordinary quartic anharmonic oscill...
متن کامل-symmetric quartic anharmonic oscillator and position-dependent mass in a perturbative approach
To lowest order of perturbation theory we show that an equivalence can be established between a PT -symmetric generalized quartic anharmonic oscillator model and a Hermitian position-dependent mass Hamiltonian h. An important feature of h is that it reveals a domain of couplings where the quartic potential could be attractive, vanishing or repulsive. We also determine the associated physical qu...
متن کاملOn a Class of Quantum Canonical Transformations and the Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillator
Quantum canonical transformations corresponding to the action of the unitary operator e √ f(x)p √ f(x) is studied. It is shown that for f(x) = x, the effect of this transformation is to rescale the position and momentum operators by e and e, respectively. This transformation is shown to lead to the identification of a previously unknown class of exactly solvable time-dependent harmonic oscillat...
متن کاملClassical and Quantum Action-Phase Variables for Time-Dependent Oscillators
For a time-dependent classical quadratic oscillator we introduce pairs of real and complex invariants that are linear in position and momentum. Each pair of invariants realize explicitly a canonical transformation from the phase space to the invariant space, in which the action-phase variables are defined. We find the action operator for the time-dependent quantum oscillator via the classical-q...
