Abstract

We study a quantum model with non-isotropic two-dimensional oscillator potential but with additional quadratic interaction x1x2x_1x_2 with imaginary coupling constant. It is shown, that for a specific connection between coupling constant and oscillator frequences, the model {\it is not} amenable to a conventional separation of variables. The property of shape invariance allows to find analytically all eigenfunctions and the spectrum is found to be equidistant. It is shown that the Hamiltonian is non-diagonalizable, and the resolution of the identity must include also the corresponding associated functions. These functions are constructed explicitly, and their properties are investigated. The problem of RR-separation of variables in two-dimensional systems is discussed.
