Abstract
In the mean-field approximation, the well-known effect of the critical quantum collapse in a 3D gas of particles pulled to the center by potential U(r)=−U0/2r2 is suppressed by repulsive inter-particle interactions, which create the otherwise non-existing s-wave ground state. Here, we address excited bound states carrying angular momentum, with the orbital and magnetic quantum numbers l and m. They exist above a threshold value of the potential’s strength, U0>l(l+1). The sectoral, tesseral, and zonal modes, which correspond to m=l, 0
