    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

    Third order superintegrable systems separating in polar coordinates

    Full text link
    A complete classification is presented of quantum and classical superintegrable systems in E2E_2 that allow the separation of variables in polar coordinates and admit an additional integral of motion of order three in the momentum. New quantum superintegrable systems are discovered for which the potential is expressed in terms of the sixth Painlev\'e transcendent or in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic function

    Addition theorems and the Drach superintegrable systems

    Full text link
    We propose new construction of the polynomial integrals of motion related to the addition theorems. As an example we reconstruct Drach systems and get some new two-dimensional superintegrable Stackel systems with third, fifth and seventh order integrals of motion.Comment: 18 pages, the talk given on the conference "Superintegrable Systems in Classical and Quantum Mechanics", Prague 200

    Superintegrable Systems with a Third Order Integrals of Motion

    Full text link
    Two-dimensional superintegrable systems with one third order and one lower order integral of motion are reviewed. The fact that Hamiltonian systems with higher order integrals of motion are not the same in classical and quantum mechanics is stressed. New results on the use of classical and quantum third order integrals are presented in Section 5 and 6.Comment: To appear in J. Phys A: Mathematical and Theoretical (SPE QTS5

    Families of superintegrable Hamiltonians constructed from exceptional polynomials

    Full text link
    We introduce a family of exactly-solvable two-dimensional Hamiltonians whose wave functions are given in terms of Laguerre and exceptional Jacobi polynomials. The Hamiltonians contain purely quantum terms which vanish in the classical limit leaving only a previously known family of superintegrable systems. Additional, higher-order integrals of motion are constructed from ladder operators for the considered orthogonal polynomials proving the quantum system to be superintegrable

    Generalized five-dimensional Kepler system, Yang-Coulomb monopole, and Hurwitz transformation

    The 5D Kepler system possesses many interesting properties. This system is superintegrable and also with a su(2) non-Abelian monopole interaction (Yang-Coulomb monopole). This system is also related to an 8D isotropic harmonic oscillator by a Hurwitz transformation. We introduce a new superintegrable Hamiltonian that consists in a 5D Kepler system with new terms of Smorodinsky-Winternitz type. We obtain the integrals of motion of this system. They generate a quadratic algebra with structure constants involving the Casimir operator of a so(4) Lie algebra. We also show that this system remains superintegrable with a su(2) non-Abelian monopole (generalized Yang-Coulomb monopole). We study this system using parabolic coordinates and obtain from Hurwitz transformation its dual that is an 8D singular oscillator. This 8D singular oscillator is also a new superintegrable system and multiseparable. We obtained its quadratic algebra that involves two Casimir operators of so(4) Lie algebras. This correspondence is used to obtain algebraically the energy spectrum of the generalized Yang-Coulomb monopole

    An infinite family of superintegrable systems from higher order ladder operators and supersymmetry

    Full text link
    We will discuss how we can obtain new quantum superintegrable Hamiltonians allowing the separation of variables in Cartesian coordinates with higher order integrals of motion from ladder operators. We will discuss also how higher order supersymmetric quantum mechanics can be used to obtain systems with higher order ladder operators and their polynomial Heisenberg algebra. We will present a new family of superintegrable systems involving the fifth Painleve transcendent which possess fourth order ladder operators constructed from second order supersymmetric quantum mechanics. We present the polynomial algebra of this family of superintegrable systems.Comment: 8 pages, presented at ICGTMP 28, accepted for j.conf.serie

    Superintegrability and higher order polynomial algebras II

    Full text link
    In an earlier article, we presented a method to obtain integrals of motion and polynomial algebras for a class of two-dimensional superintegrable systems from creation and annihilation operators. We discuss the general case and present its polynomial algebra. We will show how this polynomial algebra can be directly realized as a deformed oscillator algebra. This particular algebraic structure allows to find the unitary representations and the corresponding energy spectrum. We apply this construction to a family of caged anisotropic oscillators. The method can be used to generate new superintegrable systems with higher order integrals. We obtain new superintegrable systems involving the fourth Painleve transcendent and present their integrals of motion and polynomial algebras.Comment: 11 page

    Superintegrable systems with spin and second-order integrals of motion

    Full text link
    We investigate a quantum nonrelativistic system describing the interaction of two particles with spin 1/2 and spin 0, respectively. We assume that the Hamiltonian is rotationally invariant and parity conserving and identify all such systems which allow additional integrals of motion that are second order matrix polynomials in the momenta. These integrals are assumed to be scalars, pseudoscalars, vectors or axial vectors. Among the superintegrable systems obtained, we mention a generalization of the Coulomb potential with scalar potential V0=αr+3ℏ28r2V_0=\frac{\alpha}{r}+\frac{3\hbar^2}{8r^2} and spin orbital one V1=ℏ2r2V_1=\frac{\hbar}{2r^2}.Comment: 32 page

    Higher Order Quantum Superintegrability: a new "Painlev\'e conjecture"

    Full text link
    We review recent results on superintegrable quantum systems in a two-dimensional Euclidean space with the following properties. They are integrable because they allow the separation of variables in Cartesian coordinates and hence allow a specific integral of motion that is a second order polynomial in the momenta. Moreover, they are superintegrable because they allow an additional integral of order N>2N>2. Two types of such superintegrable potentials exist. The first type consists of "standard potentials" that satisfy linear differential equations. The second type consists of "exotic potentials" that satisfy nonlinear equations. For N=3N= 3, 4 and 5 these equations have the Painlev\'e property. We conjecture that this is true for all N≥3N\geq3. The two integrals X and Y commute with the Hamiltonian, but not with each other. Together they generate a polynomial algebra (for any NN) of integrals of motion. We show how this algebra can be used to calculate the energy spectrum and the wave functions.Comment: 23 pages, submitted as a contribution to the monographic volume "Integrability, Supersymmetry and Coherent States", a volume in honour of Professor V\'eronique Hussin. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1703.0975
