Abstract

We obtain the gauge invariant energy eigenvalues and degeneracies together with rotationally symmetric wavefunctions of a particle moving on 2D noncommutative plane subjected to homogeneous magnetic field BB and harmonic potential. This has been done by using the phase space coordinates transformation based on 2-parameter family of unitarily equivalent irreducible representations of the nilpotent Lie group GNCG_{NC}. We find that the energy levels and states of the system are unique and hence, same goes to the degeneracies as well since they are heavily reliant on the applied BB and the noncommutativity θ\theta of coordinates. Without BB, we essentially have a noncommutative planar harmonic oscillator under generalized Bopp shift or Seiberg-Witten map. The degenerate energy levels can always be found if θ\theta is proportional to the ratio between \hbar and mωm\omega. For the scale Bθ=B\theta = \hbar, the spectrum of energy is isomorphic to Landau problem in symmetric gauge and hence, each energy level is infinitely degenerate regardless of any values of θ\theta. Finally, if 0<Bθ<0 < B\theta < \hbar, θ\theta has to also be proportional to the ratio between \hbar and mωm\omega for the degeneracy to occur. These proportionality parameters are evaluated and if they are not satisfied then we will have non-degenerate energy levels. Finally, the probability densities and effects of BB and θ\theta on the system are properly shown for all cases.
