Abstract

We construct Green's function for the quantum degenerate parametric oscillator in the coordinate representation in terms of standard solutions of Ince's equation in a framework of a general approach to variable quadratic Hamiltonians. Exact time-dependent wavefunctions and their connections with dynamical invariants and SU(1, 1) group are also discussed. An extension to the degenerate parametric oscillator with time-dependent amplitude and phase is also mentioned.
