Abstract
We present a new class of quantum-mechanical problems involving the rotation of a top in a spherically symmetric torque field. The eigenvalue problem is studied for the hyperspherical rotational oscillator. We introduce a new four-dimensional parity quantum number referring to integral spin values of the excited states of a spherical top.
