Abstract

We construct the spectrum generating algebra (SGA) for a free particle in the three-dimensional sphere S3 for both classical and quantum descriptions. In the classical approach, the SGA supplies time-dependent constants of motion that allow to solve algebraically the motion. In the quantum case, the SGA includes the ladder operators that give the eigenstates of the free Hamiltonian. We study this quantum case from two equivalent points of view.
