Self-adjoint extension procedure for a singular oscillator

Abstract

For a singular oscillator, the Schrodinger equation is obtained an equation of eigenvalues, and the dependence of energy on the self-adjoint extension parameter is established. It is shown that the self-adjoint extension violates the well-known property of equidistance of energy levels for the oscillatory potential, well-known in quantum mechanics. The concept of quantum defect is generally introduced, and the wave function of the problem is written as a single function.
