Comments on the Dynamics of the Pais-Uhlenbeck Oscillator
We discuss the quantum dynamics of the PU oscillator, i.e. the system with the Lagrangian L = ½ [ ¨q² - (Ω₁² + Ω₂²) ·q² + Ω₁²Ω₂²q ] (+ nonlinear terms). When Ω₁ ≠ Ω₂, the free PU oscillator has a pure point spectrum that is dense everywhere. When Ω₁ = Ω₂, the spectrum is continuous, E ∊ {–∞, ∞...
