The Higgs oscillator on the hyperbolic plane and Light-Front Holography

The Light Front Holographic (LFH) wave equation, which is the conformal scalar equation on the plane, is revisited from the perspective of the supersymmetric quantum mechanics, and attention is drawn to the fact that it naturally emerges in the small hyperbolic angle approximation to the "curved" Higgs oscillator on the hyperbolic plane, i.e. on the upper part of the two-dimensional hyperboloid of two sheets, a space of constant negative curvature. Such occurs because the particle dynamics under consideration reduces to the one dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with the second hyperbolic P\"oschl-Teller potential, whose flat-space (small-angle) limit reduces to the conformally invariant inverse square distance plus harmonic oscillator interaction, on which LFH is based. In consequence, energies and wave functions of the LFH spectrum can be approached by the solutions of the Higgs oscillator on the hyperbolic plane in employing its curvature and the potential strength as fitting parameters. Also the proton electric charge form factor is well reproduced within this scheme by means of a Fourier-Helgason hyperbolic wave transform of the charge density. In conclusion, in the small angle approximation, the Higgs oscillator on the hyperbolic plane is demonstrated to satisfactory parallel essential outcomes of the Light Front Holographic QCD. The findings are suggestive of associating the hyperboloid curvature of the with a second scale in LFH, which then could be employed in the definition of a chemical potential.
