“…In particular, a one-to-one correspondence can be established between eigenstates of the Morse-Schrödinger equation, h͉͘ϭ͉͘ with hϭ p 2 /2m ϩV(x), and the representations of U(2), ͉N,͘, the latter being characterized by two quantum numbers which specify the total number of bound levels, 1ϩN/2 or 1ϩ(NϪ1)/2 ͑N even or N odd͒, and the vibrational index, , such that ϭ0,1...N/2 or (NϪ1)/2. When recast in the U(2) basis, the Morse Hamiltonian assumes the simple form hϭ 0 ϩAC where 0 and A signify constant modeling parameters while C is related to the invariant quadratic Casimir operator C of the subalgebra O(2) ͓with eigenvalues m 2 ϭ(NϪ2) 2 ͔ by means of: 65,66 Cϭ…”
