Abstract

The quantum-mechanical problems of a nonrelativistic free particle, a harmonic oscillator and a Coulomb particle on Minkowski plane are discussed. The Schr\"odinger equations for eigenvalues are obtained using the Beltrami-Laplas operator of the pseudo-Euclidean plane and the corresponding potentials. It is shown that, in contrast to the standard problem on Euclidean plane, in addition to the continuous spectrum, a free particle has a discrete energy levels and a Coulomb particle, in addition to the discrete spectrum, has unstable states that describe the incidence of a particle on isotropic lines forming a metric cone.
