The properties of the ground state of N anyons in an external magnetic field and a harmonic oscillator potential are computed in the large-N limit using the Thomas-Fermi approximation. The number of level crossings in the ground state as a function of the harmonic frequency, the strength and the direction of the magnetic field and N are also studied.

The ground state of the spiked harmonic oscillator with the potential [Formula: see text] has been obtained variationally for α < 3 and recently by a numerical procedure for α > 3. Due to the Klauder phenomemon at α = 3, analytic techniques do not smoothly interpolate between α < 3 and α > 3. Here we use the N-1 expansion, where N is the dimensionality of space, to set up an analytic scheme that can be continued across α = 3.

A three-parameter variational trial function is used to determine an upper bound to the ground-state energy of the spiked harmonic-oscillator Hamiltonian [Formula: see text]. The entire parameter range λ > 0 and α ≥ 1 is treated in a single elementary formulation. The method of potential envelopes is also employed to derive a complementary energy lower bound formula valid for all the discrete eigenvalues.

We quantize the system of a damped harmonic oscillator coupled to its time-reversed image, known as Bateman's dual system. By using the Feynman–Hibbs method, the time-dependent quantum states of such a system are constructed entirely in the framework of the classical theory. The geometric phase is calculated and found to be proportional to the ground-state energy of the one-dimensional linear harmonic oscillator to which the two-dimensional system reduces under appropriate constraint.

Uncertainty relations for the time-dependent singular oscillator in the number state and in the coherent state are investigated. We applied our developement to the Caldirola–Kanai oscillator perturbed by a singularity. For this system, the variation (Δx) decreased exponentially while (Δp) increased exponentially with time both in the number and in the coherent states. As k → 0 and χ → 0, the number state uncertainty relation in the ground state becomes 0.583216ℏ which is somewhat larger than that of the standard harmonic oscillator, ℏ/2. On the other hand, the uncertainty relation in all excited states become smaller than that of the standard harmonic oscillator with the same quantum number n. However, as k → ∞ and χ → 0, the uncertainty relations of the system approach the uncertainty relations of the standard harmonic oscillator, (n+1/2)ℏ.
