Recursions of Symmetry Orbits and Reduction without Reduction

We consider a four-dimensional PDE possessing partner symmetries mainly on the example of complex Monge-Amp\`ere equation (CMA). We use simultaneously two pairs of symmetries related by a recursion relation, which are mutually complex conjugate for CMA. For both pairs of partner symmetries, using Lie equations, we introduce explicitly group parameters as additional variables, replacing symmetry characteristics and their complex conjugates by derivatives of the unknown with respect to group parameters. We study the resulting system of six equations in the eight-dimensional space, that includes CMA, four equations of the recursion between partner symmetries and one integrability condition of this system. We use point symmetries of this extended system for performing its symmetry reduction with respect to group parameters that facilitates solving the extended system. This procedure does not imply a reduction in the number of physical variables and hence we end up with orbits of non-invariant solutions of CMA, generated by one partner symmetry, not used in the reduction. These solutions are determined by six linear equations with constant coefficients in the five-dimensional space which are obtained by a three-dimensional Legendre transformation of the reduced extended system. We present algebraic and exponential examples of such solutions that govern Legendre-transformed Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics with no Killing vectors. A similar procedure is briefly outlined for Husain equation

Universal description of three two-component fermions

A quantum mechanical three-body problem for two identical fermions of mass $m$ and a distinct particle of mass $m_1$ in the universal limit of zero-range two-body interaction is studied. For the unambiguous formulation of the problem in the interval $\mu_r < m/m_1 \le \mu_c$ ($\mu_r \approx 8.619$ and $\mu_c \approx 13.607$) an additional parameter $b$ determining the wave function near the triple-collision point is introduced; thus, a one-parameter family of self-adjoint Hamiltonians is defined. The dependence of the bound-state energies on $m/m_1$ and $b$ in the sector of angular momentum and parity $L^P = 1^-$ is calculated and analysed with the aid of a simple model

On a class of second-order PDEs admitting partner symmetries

Recently we have demonstrated how to use partner symmetries for obtaining noninvariant solutions of heavenly equations of Plebanski that govern heavenly gravitational metrics. In this paper, we present a class of scalar second-order PDEs with four variables, that possess partner symmetries and contain only second derivatives of the unknown. We present a general form of such a PDE together with recursion relations between partner symmetries. This general PDE is transformed to several simplest canonical forms containing the two heavenly equations of Plebanski among them and two other nonlinear equations which we call mixed heavenly equation and asymmetric heavenly equation. On an example of the mixed heavenly equation, we show how to use partner symmetries for obtaining noninvariant solutions of PDEs by a lift from invariant solutions. Finally, we present Ricci-flat self-dual metrics governed by solutions of the mixed heavenly equation and its Legendre transform.Comment: LaTeX2e, 26 pages.
