Abstract
TheSU(3) symmetry of the harmonic oscillator potential is used to calculate exactly the second order energy correction, caused by quadrupole deformations. This can be done in a purely algebraic manner, using the Dalgarno-Schwartz formulation of perturbation theory. Some connections of this method with group theory are discussed and an extension to more general situations is proposed.
