    The document summarizes a study that used white noise analysis to examine the dynamics of a ring of N-coupled harmonic oscillators. The researchers obtained the quantum propagators of the system by solving for the normal modes, which decoupled the coordinates in the Lagrangian. They observed that the motion depended on whether there was an odd or even number of oscillators. For odd N, there were N-1 degenerate and 1 non-degenerate normal mode frequencies. For even N, there were N-2 degenerate and 2 non-degenerate frequencies. The dynamics were determined from the product of these normal mode frequencies.

    The harmonic oscillator chain with rotational symmetry was studied using
    white noise analysis. The quantum propagators of the system were obtained after
    solving for the normal modes to decouple the coordinates of the Lagrangian
    describing the nearest-neighbor interactions of the harmonic oscillators. Investigating
    its dynamics, it was observed that the motion of the entire system was dependent on
    the number classification (e.g. odd, even) of oscillators present. For an odd number of
    oscillators, the propagator consisted of N − 1 degenerate and one non-degenerate
    normal mode frequencies. For even numbers of oscillators, the propagator consisted
    of N − 2 degenerate and 2 non-degenerate normal mode frequencies. Finally, the
    dynamics of the system was achieved through the product of degenerate and non-
    degenerate normal mode frequencies.
