New superintegrable models with position-dependent mass from Bertrand's Theorem on curved spaces
A generalized version of Bertrand's theorem on spherically symmetric curved
spaces is presented. This result is based on the classification of
(3+1)-dimensional (Lorentzian) Bertrand spacetimes, that gives rise to two
families of Hamiltonian systems defined on certain 3-dimensional (Riemannian)
spaces. These two systems are shown to be either the Kepler or the oscillator
potentials on the corresponding Bertrand spaces, and both of them are maximally
superintegrable. Afterwards, the relationship between such Bertrand
Hamiltonians and position-dependent mass systems is explicitly established.
These results are illustrated through the example of a superintegrable
(nonlinear) oscillator on a Bertrand-Darboux space, whose quantization and
physical features are also briefly addressed.Comment: 13 pages; based in the contribution to the 28th International

Quantum (1+1) extended Galilei algebras: from Lie bialgebras to quantum R-matrices and integrable systems
The Lie bialgebras of the (1+1) extended Galilei algebra are obtained and
classified into four multiparametric families. Their quantum deformations are
obtained, together with the corresponding deformed Casimir operators. For the
coboundary cases quantum universal R-matrices are also given. Applications of
the quantum extended Galilei algebras to classical integrable systems are
explicitly developed.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX. A detailed description of the construction of
integrable systems is carried ou
(1+1) Schrodinger Lie bialgebras and their Poisson-Lie groups
All Lie bialgebra structures for the (1+1)-dimensional centrally extended
Schrodinger algebra are explicitly derived and proved to be of the coboundary
type. Therefore, since all of them come from a classical r-matrix, the complete
family of Schrodinger Poisson-Lie groups can be deduced by means of the
Sklyanin bracket. All possible embeddings of the harmonic oscillator, extended
Galilei and gl(2) Lie bialgebras within the Schrodinger classification are
studied. As an application, new quantum (Hopf algebra) deformations of the
Schrodinger algebra, including their corresponding quantum universal
R-matrices, are constructed.Comment: 25 pages, LaTeX. Possible applications in relation with integrable
systems are pointed; new references adde
A Jordanian quantum two-photon/Schrodinger algebra
A non-standard quantum deformation of the two-photon algebra is
constructed, and its quantum universal R-matrix is given. Representations of
this new quantum algebra are studied on the Fock space and translated into
Fock-Bargmann realizations that provide a direct formalism for the definition
of deformed states of light. Finally, the isomorphism between and the
(1+1) Schr\"odinger algebra is used to introduce a new (non-standard) Hopf
algebra deformation of this latter symmetry algebra.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, misprints correcte
Binary trees, coproducts, and integrable systems
We provide a unified framework for the treatment of special integrable
systems which we propose to call "generalized mean field systems". Thereby
previous results on integrable classical and quantum systems are generalized.
Following Ballesteros and Ragnisco, the framework consists of a unital algebra
with brackets, a Casimir element, and a coproduct which can be lifted to higher
tensor products. The coupling scheme of the iterated tensor product is encoded
in a binary tree. The theory is exemplified by the case of a spin octahedron.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, v2: minor correction in theorem 1, two new

Universal integrals for superintegrable systems on N-dimensional spaces of constant curvature
An infinite family of classical superintegrable Hamiltonians defined on the
N-dimensional spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces are shown to have a
common set of (2N-3) functionally independent constants of the motion. Among
them, two different subsets of N integrals in involution (including the
Hamiltonian) can always be explicitly identified. As particular cases, we
recover in a straightforward way most of the superintegrability properties of
the Smorodinsky-Winternitz and generalized Kepler-Coulomb systems on spaces of
constant curvature and we introduce as well new classes of (quasi-maximally)
superintegrable potentials on these spaces. Results here presented are a
consequence of the sl(2) Poisson coalgebra symmetry of all the Hamiltonians,
together with an appropriate use of the phase spaces associated to Poincare and
Beltrami coordinates.Comment: 12 page
Multiparametric quantum gl(2): Lie bialgebras, quantum R-matrices and non-relativistic limits
Multiparametric quantum deformations of are studied through a
complete classification of Lie bialgebra structures. From them, the
non-relativistic limit leading to harmonic oscillator Lie bialgebras is
implemented by means of a contraction procedure. New quantum deformations of
together with their associated quantum -matrices are obtained and
other known quantizations are recovered and classified. Several connections
with integrable models are outlined.Comment: 21 pages, LaTeX. To appear in J. Phys. A. New contents adde
Universal --matrices for non-standard (1+1) quantum groups
A universal quasitriangular --matrix for the non-standard quantum (1+1)
Poincar\'e algebra is deduced by imposing analyticity in the
deformation parameter . A family of ``quantum graded contractions"
of the algebra is obtained; this set of
quantum algebras contains as Hopf subalgebras with two primitive translations
quantum analogues of the two dimensional Euclidean, Poincar\'e and Galilei
algebras enlarged with dilations. Universal --matrices
for these quantum Weyl algebras and their associated quantum groups are
constructed.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX
