Hyperspherical ${deltatext{-}delta^prime}$ potentials

The spherically symmetric potential $a ,delta (r-r_0)+b,delta (r-r_0)$ is generalised for the $d$-dimensional space as a characterisation of a unique selfadjoint extension of the free Hamiltonian. For this extension of the Dirac delta, the spectrum of negative, zero and positive energy states is studied in $dgeq 2$, providing numerical results for the expectation value of the radius as a function of the free parameters of the potential. Remarkably, only if $d=2$ the $delta$-$delta$ potential for arbitrary $a>0$ admits a bound state with zero angular momentum.
