Abstract

The N-dimensional position-dependent mass HamiltonianHˆ=−ℏ22(1+λq2)∇2+ω2q22(1+λq2) is shown to be exactly solvable for any real positive value of the parameter λ. Algebraically, this Hamiltonian can be thought of as a new maximally superintegrable λ-deformation of the N-dimensional isotropic oscillator and, from a geometric viewpoint, this system is just the intrinsic oscillator potential on an N-dimensional hyperbolic space with nonconstant curvature. The spectrum of this model is shown to be hydrogenlike, and their eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are explicitly obtained by deforming appropriately the symmetry properties of the N-dimensional harmonic oscillator. A further generalization of this construction giving rise to new exactly solvable models is envisaged.
