    Generalized MICZ-Kepler system, duality, polynomial and deformed oscillator algebras

    Full text link
    We present the quadratic algebra of the generalized MICZ-Kepler system in three-dimensional Euclidean space E3E_{3} and its dual the four dimensional singular oscillator in four-dimensional Euclidean space E4E_{4}. We present their realization in terms of a deformed oscillator algebra using the Daskaloyannis construction. The structure constants are in these cases function not only of the Hamiltonian but also of other integrals commuting with all generators of the quadratic algebra. We also present a new algebraic derivation of the energy spectrum of the MICZ-Kepler system on the three sphere S3S^{3} using a quadratic algebra. These results point out also that results and explicit formula for structure functions obtained for quadratic, cubic and higher order polynomial algebras in context of two-dimensional superintegrable systems may be applied to superintegrable systems in higher dimensions with and without monopoles.Comment: 15 page

    Integrable and superintegrable systems with spin

    Full text link
    A system of two particles with spin s=0 and s=1/2 respectively, moving in a plane is considered. It is shown that such a system with a nontrivial spin-orbit interaction can allow an 8 dimensional Lie algebra of first-order integrals of motion. The Pauli equation is solved in this superintegrable case and reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations when only one first-order integral exists.Comment: 12 page

    Exact Solvability of Superintegrable Systems

    It is shown that all four superintegrable quantum systems on the Euclidean plane possess the same underlying hidden algebra sl(3)sl(3). The gauge-rotated Hamiltonians, as well as their integrals of motion, once rewritten in appropriate coordinates, preserve a flag of polynomials. This flag corresponds to highest-weight finite-dimensional representations of the sl(3)sl(3)-algebra, realized by first order differential operators.Comment: 14 pages, AMS LaTe

    Polynomial Associative Algebras for Quantum Superintegrable Systems with a Third Order Integral of Motion

    Full text link
    We consider a superintegrable Hamiltonian system in a two-dimensional space with a scalar potential that allows one quadratic and one cubic integral of motion. We construct the most general associative cubic algebra and we present specific realizations. We use them to calculate the energy spectrum. All classical and quantum superintegrable potentials separable in cartesian coordinates with a third order integral are known. The general formalism is applied to one of the quantum potentials

    Integrable and superintegrable quantum systems in a magnetic field

    Full text link
    Integrable quantum mechanical systems with magnetic fields are constructed in two-dimensional Euclidean space. The integral of motion is assumed to be a first or second order Hermitian operator. Contrary to the case of purely scalar potentials, quadratic integrability does not imply separation of variables in the Schroedinger equation. Moreover, quantum and classical integrable systems do not necessarily coincide: the Hamiltonian can depend on the Planck constant in a nontrivial manner.Comment: 23 pages ,1 figur

    Lie-point symmetries of the discrete Liouville equation

    Full text link
    The Liouville equation is well known to be linearizable by a point transformation. It has an infinite dimensional Lie point symmetry algebra isomorphic to a direct sum of two Virasoro algebras. We show that it is not possible to discretize the equation keeping the entire symmetry algebra as point symmetries. We do however construct a difference system approximating the Liouville equation that is invariant under the maximal finite subalgebra SL_x \lf 2 , \mathbb{R} \rg \otimes SL_y \lf 2 , \mathbb{R} \rg . The invariant scheme is an explicit one and provides a much better approximation of exact solutions than comparable standard (non invariant) schemes

    PP_\infty algebra of KP, free fermions and 2-cocycle in the Lie algebra of pseudodifferential operators

    Full text link
    The symmetry algebra P=WHIP_\infty = W_\infty \oplus H \oplus I_\infty of integrable systems is defined. As an example the classical Sophus Lie point symmetries of all higher KP equations are obtained. It is shown that one (``positive'') half of the point symmetries belongs to the WW_\infty symmetries while the other (``negative'') part belongs to the II_\infty ones. The corresponing action on the tau-function is obtained for the positive part of the symmetries. The negative part can not be obtained from the free fermion algebra. A new embedding of the Virasoro algebra into gl()gl(\infty )n describes conformal transformations of the KP time variables. A free fermion algebra cocycle is described as a PDO Lie algebra cocycle.Comment: 21 pages, Latex, no figures (some references added and misprints are corrected
