We construct an explicit solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for the n-dimensional Schrödinger equation with certain time-dependent Hamiltonian operator of a modified oscillator. The dynamical SU(1,1) symmetry of the harmonic oscillator wave functions, Bargmann’s functions for the discrete positive series of the irreducible representations of this group, the Fourier integral of a weighted product of the Meixner–Pollaczek polynomials, a Hankel-type integral transform, and the hyperspherical harmonics are utilized in order to derive the corresponding Green function. It is then generalized to a case of the forced modified oscillator. The propagators for two models of the relativistic oscillator are also found. An expansion formula of a plane wave in terms of the hyperspherical harmonics and solution of certain infinite system of ordinary differential equations are derived as by-products.

We uniquely and explicitly reconstruct the instantaneous intrinsic metric of the Kerr-Newman event horizon from the spectrum of its Laplacian. In the process we find that the angular momentum parameter, radius, area; and in the uncharged case, mass, can be written in terms of these eigenvalues. In the uncharged case this immediately leads to the unique and explicit determination of the Kerr metric in terms of the spectrum of the event horizon. Robinson’s “no hair” theorem now yields the corollary: One can “hear the shape” of noncharged stationary axially symmetric black hole space-times by listening to the vibrational frequencies of its event horizon only.
