    Choosing roots of polynomials with symmetries smoothly

    Get PDF
    The roots of a smooth curve of hyperbolic polynomials may not in general be parameterized smoothly, even not C1,αC^{1,\alpha} for any α>0\alpha > 0. A sufficient condition for the existence of a smooth parameterization is that no two of the increasingly ordered continuous roots meet of infinite order. We give refined sufficient conditions for smooth solvability if the polynomials have certain symmetries. In general a C3nC^{3n} curve of hyperbolic polynomials of degree nn admits twice differentiable parameterizations of its roots. If the polynomials have certain symmetries we are able to weaken the assumptions in that statement.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figures, LaTe

    Symmetry algebra for the generic superintegrable system on the sphere

    Full text link
    The goal of the present paper is to provide a detailed study of irreducible representations of the algebra generated by the symmetries of the generic quantum superintegrable system on the dd-sphere. Appropriately normalized, the symmetry operators preserve the space of polynomials. Under mild conditions on the free parameters, maximal abelian subalgebras of the symmetry algebra, generated by Jucys-Murphy elements, have unique common eigenfunctions consisting of families of Jacobi polynomials in dd variables. We describe the action of the symmetries on the basis of Jacobi polynomials in terms of multivariable Racah operators, and combine this with different embeddings of symmetry algebras of lower dimensions to prove that the representations restricted on the space of polynomials of a fixed total degree are irreducible

    Normal Form, Symmetry and Infinite Dimensional Lie Algebra for System of Ode's

    Full text link
    The normal form for a system of ode's is constructed from its polynomial symmetries of the linear part of the system, which is assumed to be semi-simple. The symmetries are shown to have a simple structure such as invariant function times symmetries of degree one called basic symmetries. We also show that the set of symmetries naturally forms an infinite dimensional Lie algebra graded by the degree of invariant polynomials. This implies that if this algebra is non-commutative then the method of multiple scales with more than two scaling variables fails to apply.Comment: 10 page
