Abstract: (Elsevier)
The path integral on a noncompact group manifold is constructed. Using the Fourier decomposition on SU(1, 1) the corresponding propagator is calculated. An application is made for the modified Pöschl-Teller potential, where the energy eigenvalues and the normalized wavefunctions of bound and scattering states are found simultaneously.
