We introduce a model of anharmonic polymer chains based on n replicas of the Lie algebra U(2) and find its spectrum and transition rates up to two quanta of vibration. We compare the corresponding formulas with the infrared spectra of n-paraffins.

The connected moment expansion ( CMX) technique is used to calculate the zero-point energy of an arbitrary system of coupled anharmonic oscillators. When the anharmonic term has the form of a polynomial with respect to the normal coordinates, it is possible to calculate the zero-point energy in a co
Laser-induced dissociation of an anharmonic oscillator coupled to a quantum heat bath has been studied. A time-dependent self-consistent field approach has been used in order to solve the time-dependent Schrrdinger equation. The quantum heat bath consists of a set of harmonic oscillators and the dis
The semiclassical fixed point structure of three coupled anharmonic oscillators under the condition that two of them are of equal population (I,=O) is studied with SU( 3) algebra. The results show that in this submanifold the system can be solved analytically with two bifurcation points.
A U(2) algebraic model is presented to describe stretching vibrations of XY n (n ฯญ 2, 3, and 4) systems, where anharmonic interactions between the bond modes are considered. This model in a limit corresponds to an anharmonically coupled local-mode model. As an example, the model for a molecule XY 4
