(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

Quantum two-photon algebra from non-standard U_z(sl(2,R)) and a discrete time Schr\"odinger equation
The non-standard quantum deformation of the (trivially) extended sl(2,R)
algebra is used to construct a new quantum deformation of the two-photon
algebra h_6 and its associated quantum universal R-matrix. A deformed one-boson
representation for this algebra is deduced and applied to construct a first
order deformation of the differential equation that generates the two-photon
algebra eigenstates in Quantum Optics. On the other hand, the isomorphism
between h_6 and the (1+1) Schr\"odinger algebra leads to a new quantum
deformation for the latter for which a differential-difference realization is
presented. From it, a time discretization of the heat-Schr\"odinger equation is
obtained and the quantum Schr\"odinger generators are shown to be symmetry
operators.Comment: 12 pages, LaTe
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
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
Site-diluted three dimensional Ising Model with long-range correlated disorder
We study two different versions of the site-diluted Ising model in three
dimensions with long-range spatially correlated disorder by Monte Carlo means.
We use finite-size scaling techniques to compute the critical exponents of
these systems, taking into account the strong scaling-corrections. We find a
value that is compatible with the analytical predictions.Comment: 19 pages, 1 postscript figur
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
The Gervais-Neveu-Felder equation for the Jordanian quasi-Hopf U_{h;y}(sl(2)) algebra
Using a contraction procedure, we construct a twist operator that satisfies a
shifted cocycle condition, and leads to the Jordanian quasi-Hopf U_{h;y}(sl(2))
algebra. The corresponding universal matrix obeys a
Gervais-Neveu-Felder equation associated with the U_{h;y}(sl(2)) algebra. For a
class of representations, the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation may be expressed
as a compatibility condition for the algebra of the Lax operators.Comment: Latex, 9 pages, no figure
