Abstract

We present an exact closed-form expression for the propagator of the Calogero model, i.e., for the integral kernel of the time evolution operator of the quantum many-body system on the real line with an external harmonic potential and inverse-square two-body interactions. This expression is obtained by combining two results: first, a simple formula relating this propagator to the eigenfunctions of the Calogero model without harmonic potential and second, a formula for these eigenfunctions as finite sums of products of polynomial two-body functions.
