    Relativistic and nonrelativistic anyons are described in a unified formalism by means of the coadjoint orbits of the symmetry groups in the free case as well as when there is an interaction with a constant electromagnetic field. To deal with interactions we introduce the extended Poincar\'e and Galilei Maxwell groups.Comment: 22 pages, journal reference added, bibliography update

    Heisenberg-type higher order symmetries of superintegrable systems separable in cartesian coordinates

    Heisenberg-type higher order symmetries are studied for both classical and quantum mechanical systems separable in cartesian coordinates. A few particular cases of this type of superintegrable systems were already considered in the literature, but here they are characterized in full generality together with their integrability properties. Some of these systems are defined only in a region of Rn\mathbb R^n, and in general they do not include bounded solutions. The quantum symmetries and potentials are shown to reduce to their superintegrable classical analogs in the 0\hbar \to0 limit.Comment: 23 Pages, 3 figures, To appear in Nonlinearit
