The coupling constants are allowed to be complex, and all possible boundary conditions at 0 are considered. The resulting closed operators are organized in three holomorphic families. These operators are closely related to the Whittaker equation. Solutions of this equation are thoroughly studied in a large appendix to this paper. Various special cases of this equation are analyzed, namely the degenerate, the Laguerre and the doubly degenerate cases. A new solution to the Whittaker equation in the doubly degenerate case is also introduced.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-01-28T21:41:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "radial schroedinger operators", "general boundary conditions", "coulomb potential", "doubly degenerate case", "whittaker equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 51, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
