Abstract

We propose a generic S = 1 relativisitic oscillator model which extends the class of relativistic bosonic oscillators. The Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) oscillator we introduced in an earlier work can be recovered as an element of a family of DKP oscillators that can be realized within this generic model. We present the formalism for the exact quantum mechanical treatment of this generic model and, for illustration, compute the eigenvalues of a particular family of relativistic oscillators.
