On the Supersymmetry of the Klein–Gordon Oscillator
Abstract
The three-dimensional Klein-Gordon oscillator is shown to exhibit an algebraic structure known from supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The supersymmetry is found to be unbroken with a vanishing Witten index, and it is utilized to derive the spectral properties of the Klein-Gordon oscillator, which is closely related to that of the non-relativistic harmonic oscillator in three dimensions. Supersymmetry also enables us to derive a closed-form expression for the energy-dependent Green's function.
