    Quantum oscillator on complex projective space (Lobachewski space) in constant magnetic field and the issue of generic boundary conditions

    Full text link
    We perform a 1-parameter family of self-adjoint extensions characterized by the parameter ω0\omega_0. This allows us to get generic boundary conditions for the quantum oscillator on NN dimensional complex projective space(CPN\mathbb{C}P^N) and on its non-compact version i.e., Lobachewski space(LN\mathcal L_N) in presence of constant magnetic field. As a result, we get a family of energy spectrums for the oscillator. In our formulation the already known result of this oscillator is also belong to the family. We have also obtained energy spectrum which preserve all the symmetry (full hidden symmetry and rotational symmetry) of the oscillator. The method of self-adjoint extensions have been discussed for conic oscillator in presence of constant magnetic field also.Comment: Accepted in Journal of Physics

    A Generalization of the Kepler Problem

    Full text link
    We construct and analyze a generalization of the Kepler problem. These generalized Kepler problems are parameterized by a triple (D,Îș,ÎŒ)(D, \kappa, \mu) where the dimension D≄3D\ge 3 is an integer, the curvature Îș\kappa is a real number, the magnetic charge ÎŒ\mu is a half integer if DD is odd and is 0 or 1/2 if DD is even. The key to construct these generalized Kepler problems is the observation that the Young powers of the fundamental spinors on a punctured space with cylindrical metric are the right analogues of the Dirac monopoles.Comment: The final version.

    Klauder's coherent states for the radial Coulomb problem in a uniformly curved space and their flat-space limits

    Full text link
    First a set of coherent states a la Klauder is formally constructed for the Coulomb problem in a curved space of constant curvature. Then the flat-space limit is taken to reduce the set for the radial Coulomb problem to a set of hydrogen atom coherent states corresponding to both the discrete and the continuous portions of the spectrum for a fixed \ell sector.Comment: 10 pages, no figure

    Maximal superintegrability on N-dimensional curved spaces

    Full text link
    A unified algebraic construction of the classical Smorodinsky-Winternitz systems on the ND sphere, Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces through the Lie groups SO(N+1), ISO(N), and SO(N,1) is presented. Firstly, general expressions for the Hamiltonian and its integrals of motion are given in a linear ambient space RN+1R^{N+1}, and secondly they are expressed in terms of two geodesic coordinate systems on the ND spaces themselves, with an explicit dependence on the curvature as a parameter. On the sphere, the potential is interpreted as a superposition of N+1 oscillators. Furthermore each Lie algebra generator provides an integral of motion and a set of 2N-1 functionally independent ones are explicitly given. In this way the maximal superintegrability of the ND Euclidean Smorodinsky-Winternitz system is shown for any value of the curvature.Comment: 8 pages, LaTe

    Universal integrals for superintegrable systems on N-dimensional spaces of constant curvature

    Full text link
    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

    On realizations of nonlinear Lie algebras by differential operators

    Full text link
    We study realizations of polynomial deformations of the sl(2,R)- Lie algebra in terms of differential operators strongly related to bosonic operators. We also distinguish their finite- and infinite-dimensional representations. The linear, quadratic and cubic cases are explicitly visited but the method works for arbitrary degrees in the polynomial functions. Multi-boson Hamiltonians are studied in the context of these ``nonlinear'' Lie algebras and some examples dealing with quantum optics are pointed out.Comment: 21 pages, Latex; New examples added in Sect.

    3D Oscillator and Coulomb Systems reduced from Kahler spaces

    Full text link
    We define the oscillator and Coulomb systems on four-dimensional spaces with U(2)-invariant Kahler metric and perform their Hamiltonian reduction to the three-dimensional oscillator and Coulomb systems specified by the presence of Dirac monopoles. We find the Kahler spaces with conic singularity, where the oscillator and Coulomb systems on three-dimensional sphere and two-sheet hyperboloid are originated. Then we construct the superintegrable oscillator system on three-dimensional sphere and hyperboloid, coupled to monopole, and find their four-dimensional origins. In the latter case the metric of configuration space is non-Kahler one. Finally, we extend these results to the family of Kahler spaces with conic singularities.Comment: To the memory of Professor Valery Ter-Antonyan, 11 page

    On some nonlinear extensions of the angular momentum algebra

    Full text link
    Deformations of the Lie algebras so(4), so(3,1), and e(3) that leave their so(3) subalgebra undeformed and preserve their coset structure are considered. It is shown that such deformed algebras are associative for any choice of the deformation parameters. Their Casimir operators are obtained and some of their unitary irreducible representations are constructed. For vanishing deformation, the latter go over into those of the corresponding Lie algebras that contain each of the so(3) unitary irreducible representations at most once. It is also proved that similar deformations of the Lie algebras su(3), sl(3,R), and of the semidirect sum of an abelian algebra t(5) and so(3) do not lead to associative algebras.Comment: 22 pages, plain TeX + preprint.sty, no figures, to appear in J.Phys.

    The Coulomb-Oscillator Relation on n-Dimensional Spheres and Hyperboloids

    Full text link
    In this paper we establish a relation between Coulomb and oscillator systems on nn-dimensional spheres and hyperboloids for n≄2n\geq 2. We show that, as in Euclidean space, the quasiradial equation for the n+1n+1 dimensional Coulomb problem coincides with the 2n2n-dimensional quasiradial oscillator equation on spheres and hyperboloids. Using the solution of the Schr\"odinger equation for the oscillator system, we construct the energy spectrum and wave functions for the Coulomb problem.Comment: 15 pages, LaTe

    Integrable potentials on spaces with curvature from quantum groups

    Full text link
    A family of classical integrable systems defined on a deformation of the two-dimensional sphere, hyperbolic and (anti-)de Sitter spaces is constructed through Hamiltonians defined on the non-standard quantum deformation of a sl(2) Poisson coalgebra. All these spaces have a non-constant curvature that depends on the deformation parameter z. As particular cases, the analogues of the harmonic oscillator and Kepler--Coulomb potentials on such spaces are proposed. Another deformed Hamiltonian is also shown to provide superintegrable systems on the usual sphere, hyperbolic and (anti-)de Sitter spaces with a constant curvature that exactly coincides with z. According to each specific space, the resulting potential is interpreted as the superposition of a central harmonic oscillator with either two more oscillators or centrifugal barriers. The non-deformed limit z=0 of all these Hamiltonians can then be regarded as the zero-curvature limit (contraction) which leads to the corresponding (super)integrable systems on the flat Euclidean and Minkowskian spaces.Comment: 19 pages, 1 figure.
