We consider an N=2 supersymmetric odd-order Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator with distinct frequencies of oscillation. The technique previously developed in [Acta Phys. Polon. B 36 (2005) 2115; Nucl. Phys. B 902 (2016) 95] is used to construct a…

We study the quantum Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator at the resonant (equal-frequency) point, where the dynamics becomes non-diagonalisable and the conventional Fock-space construction collapses. At the classical level, the degenerate system…
Ostrogradsky's method allows one to construct Hamiltonian formulation for a higher derivative system. An application of this approach to the Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator yields the Hamiltonian which is unbounded from below. This leads to the…
