Algebraic approach in the study of time-dependent nonlinear integrable systems: Case of the singular oscillator
The classical and the quantal problem of a particle interacting in
one-dimension with an external time-dependent quadratic potential and a
constant inverse square potential is studied from the Lie-algebraic point of
view. The integrability of this system is established by evaluating the exact
invariant closely related to the Lewis and Riesenfeld invariant for the
time-dependent harmonic oscillator. We study extensively the special and
interesting case of a kicked quadratic potential from which we derive a new
integrable, nonlinear, area preserving, two-dimensional map which may, for
instance, be used in numerical algorithms that integrate the
Calogero-Sutherland-Moser Hamiltonian. The dynamics, both classical and
quantal, is studied via the time-evolution operator which we evaluate using a
recent method of integrating the quantum Liouville-Bloch equations \cite{rau}.
The results show the exact one-to-one correspondence between the classical and
the quantal dynamics. Our analysis also sheds light on the connection between
properties of the SU(1,1) algebra and that of simple dynamical systems.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures, Accepted in PR
