Harmonic Oscillator on the SO(2,2) Hyperboloid

Abstract

In the present work the classical problem of harmonic oscillator in the hyperbolic space H²₂: z²₀+z²₁−z²₂−z²₃=R² has been completely solved in framework of Hamilton-Jacobi equation. We have shown that the harmonic oscillator on H²₂, as in the other spaces with constant curvature, is exactly solvable and belongs to the class of maximally superintegrable system. We have proved that all the bounded classical trajectories are closed and periodic. The orbits of motion are ellipses or circles for bounded motion and ultraellipses or equidistant curve for infinite ones.
