N=3 super-Schwarzian from OSp(3|2) invariants

It was recently demonstrated that the N=0,1,2,4 super-Schwarzian derivatives can be constructed by applying the method of nonlinear realizations to the finite-dimensional (super)conformal groups SL(2,R), OSp(1|2), SU(1,1|1), and SU(1,1|2), respectively. In this work, a similar scheme is realised for OSp(3|2). It is shown that the N=3 case exhibits a surprisingly richer structure of invariants, the N=3 super-Schwarzian being a particular member. We suggest that the extra invariants may prove useful in building an N=3 supersymmetric extension of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model.

N=4 super-Schwarzian via nonlinear realizations

Current studies of supersymmetric extensions of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model stimulate a renewed interest in super-Schwarzian derivatives. In this work, we apply the method of nonlinear realizations to the finite-dimensional superconformal group SU(1,1|2) and link its invariants to the N=4 super-Schwarzian.

Super-Schwarzians via nonlinear realizations

The N=1 and N=2 super-Schwarzian derivatives were originally introduced by physicists when computing a finite superconformal transformation of the super stress-energy tensor underlying a superconformal field theory. Mathematicians like to think of them as the cocycles describing central extensions of Lie superalgebras. In this work, a third possibility is discussed which consists in applying the method of nonlinear realizations to osp(1|2) and su(1,1|1) superconformal algebras. It is demonstrated that the super-Schwarzians arise quite naturally, if one decides to keep the number of independent Goldstone superfields to a minimum.

Bianchi type-V spinning particle on 2-sphere

Integrable spinning extension of a free particle on 2-sphere is constructed in which spin degrees of freedom are represented by a 3-vector obeying the Bianchi type-V algebra. Generalizations involving a scalar potential giving rise to two quadratic constants of the motion, or external field of the Dirac monopole, or the motion on the group manifold of SU(2) are built. A link to the model of a relativistic spinning particle propagating on the near horizon 7d Myers-Perry black hole background is considered. Implications of the construction in this work for the D(2,1;a) superconformal mechanics are discussed.

Ruijsenaars-Schneider three-body models with N=2 supersymmetry

The Ruijsenaars-Schneider models are conventionally regarded as relativistic generalizations of the Calogero integrable systems. Surprisingly enough, their supersymmetric generalizations escaped attention. In this work, N=2 supersymmetric extensions of the rational and hyperbolic Ruijsenaars-Schneider three-body models are constructed within the framework of the Hamiltonian formalism. It is also known that the rational model can be described by the geodesic equations associated with a metric connection. We demonstrate that the hyperbolic systems are linked to non-metric connections.

Schwarzian mechanics via nonlinear realizations

The method of nonlinear realizations is used to clarify some conceptual and technical issues related to the Schwarzian mechanics. It is shown that the Schwarzian derivative arises naturally, if one applies the method to SL(2,R) times R group and decides to keep the number of the independent Goldstone fields to a minimum. The Schwarzian derivative is linked to the invariant Maurer-Cartan one-forms, which make its SL(2,R)-invariance manifest. A Lagrangian formulation for a variant of the Schwarzian mechanics studied recently in [Nucl. Phys. B 936 (2018) 661] is built and its geometric description in terms of 4d metric of the ultrahyperbolic signature is given.

Spinning extensions of $D(2,1;α)$ superconformal mechanics

As is known, any realization of SU(2) in the phase space of a dynamical system can be generalized to accommodate the exceptional supergroup $D(2,1;α)$, which is the most general $\mathcal{N}{=}\,4$ supersymmetric extension of the conformal group in one spatial dimension. We construct novel spinning extensions of $D(2,1;α)$ superconformal mechanics by adjusting the SU(2) generators associated with the relativistic spinning particle coupled to a spherically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell background. The angular sector of the full superconformal system corresponds to the orbital motion of a particle coupled to a symmetric Euler top, which represents the spin degrees of freedom. This particle moves either on the two-sphere, optionally in the external field of a Dirac monopole, or in the SU(2) group manifold. Each case is proven to be superintegrable, and explicit solutions are given.

Eisenhart Lift of $2$--Dimensional Mechanics

The Eisenhart lift is a variant of geometrization of classical mechanics with $d$ degrees of freedom in which the equations of motion are embedded into the geodesic equations of a Brinkmann-type metric defined on $(d+2)$-dimensional spacetime of Lorentzian signature. In this work, the Eisenhart lift of $2$-dimensional mechanics on curved background is studied. The corresponding $4$-dimensional metric is governed by two scalar functions which are just the conformal factor and the potential of the original dynamical system. We derive a conformal symmetry and a corresponding quadratic integral, associated with the Eisenhart lift. The energy--momentum tensor is constructed which, along with the metric, provides a solution to the Einstein equations. Uplifts of $2$-dimensional superintegrable models are discussed with a particular emphasis on the issue of hidden symmetries. It is shown that for the $2$-dimensional Darboux--Koenigs metrics, only type I can result in Eisenhart lifts which satisfy the weak energy condition. However, some physically viable metrics with hidden symmetries are presented.

A variant of Schwarzian mechanics

The Schwarzian derivative is invariant under SL(2,R)-transformations and, as thus, any function of it can be used to determine the equation of motion or the Lagrangian density of a higher derivative SL(2,R)-invariant 1d mechanics or the Schwarzian mechanics for short. In this note, we consider the simplest variant which results from setting the Schwarzian derivative to be equal to a dimensionful coupling constant. It is shown that the corresponding dynamical system in general undergoes stable evolution but for one fixed point solution which is only locally stable. Conserved charges associated with the SL(2,R)-symmetry transformations are constructed and a Hamiltonian formulation reproducing them is proposed. An embedding of the Schwarzian mechanics into a larger dynamical system associated with the geodesics of a Brinkmann-like metric obeying the Einstein equations is constructed.

Geometry of the isotropic oscillator driven by the conformal mode

Geometrization of a Lagrangian conservative system typically amounts to reformulating its equations of motion as the geodesic equations in a properly chosen curved spacetime. The conventional methods include the Jacobi metric and the Eisenhart lift. In this work, a modification of the Eisenhart lift is proposed which describes the isotropic oscillator in arbitrary dimension driven by the one-dimensional conformal mode.

N=4 l-conformal Galilei superalgebras inspired by D(2,1;a) supermultiplets

N=4 supersymmetric extensions of the l-conformal Galilei algebra are constructed by properly extending the Lie superalgebra associated with the most general N=4 superconformal group in one dimension D(2,1;a). If the acceleration generators in the superalgebra form analogues of the irreducible (1,4,3)-, (2,4,2)-, (3,4,1)-, and (4,4,0)-supermultiplets of D(2,1;a), the parameter a turns out to be constrained by the Jacobi identities. In contrast, if the tower of the acceleration generators resembles a component decomposition of a generic real superfield, which is a reducible representation of D(2,1;a), a remains arbitrary. An N=4 l-conformal Galilei superalgebra recently proposed in [Phys. Lett. B 771 (2017) 401] is shown to be a particular instance of a more general construction in this work.

N=4 l-conformal Galilei superalgebra

An N=4 supersymmetric extension of the l-conformal Galilei algebra is constructed. This is achieved by combining generators of spatial symmetries from the l-conformal Galilei algebra and those underlying the most general superconformal group in one dimension D(2,1;a). The value of the group parameter a is fixed from the requirement that the resulting superalgebra is finite-dimensional. The analysis reveals a=-1/2 thus reducing D(2,1;a) to OSp(4|2).

Couplings in D(2,1;a) superconformal mechanics from the SU(2) perspective

Dynamical realizations of the most general N=4 superconformal group in one dimension D(2,1;a) are reconsidered from the perspective of the R-symmetry subgroup SU(2). It is shown that any realization of the R-symmetry subalgebra in some phase space can be extended to a representation of the Lie superalgebra corresponding to D(2,1;a). Novel couplings of arbitrary number of supermultiplets of the type (1,4,3) and (0,4,4) with a single supermultiplet of either the type (3,4,1), or (4,4,0) are constructed. D(2,1;a) superconformal mechanics describing superparticles propagating near the horizon of the extreme Reissner-Nordstrom-AdS-dS black hole in four and five dimensions is considered. The parameter a is linked to the cosmological constant.

Eisenhart lift for higher derivative systems

The Eisenhart lift provides an elegant geometric description of a dynamical system of second order in terms of null geodesics of the Brinkmann-type metric. In this work, we attempt to generalize the Eisenhart method so as to encompass higher derivative models. The analysis relies upon Ostrogradsky's Hamiltonian. A consistent geometric description seems feasible only for a particular class of potentials. The scheme is exemplified by the Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator.

Superconformal SU(1,1|n) mechanics

Recent years have seen an upsurge of interest in dynamical realizations of the superconformal group SU(1,1|2) in mechanics. Remarking that SU(1,1|2) is a particular member of a chain of supergroups SU(1,1|n) parametrized by an integer n, here we begin a systematic study of SU(1,1|n) multi-particle mechanics. A representation of the superconformal algebra su(1,1|n) is constructed on the phase space spanned by m copies of the (1,2n,2n-1) supermultiplet. We show that the dynamics is governed by two prepotentials V and F, and the Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde equation for F shows up as a consequence of a more general fourth-order equation. All solutions to the latter in terms of root systems reveal decoupled models only. An extension of the dynamical content of the (1,2n,2n-1) supermultiplet by angular variables in a way similar to the SU(1,1|2) case is problematic.
