Klein-Gordonization: mapping superintegrable quantum mechanics to resonant spacetimes

We describe a procedure naturally associating relativistic Klein-Gordon equations in static curved spacetimes to non-relativistic quantum motion on curved spaces in the presence of a potential. Our procedure is particularly attractive in application to (typically, superintegrable) problems whose energy spectrum is given by a quadratic function of the energy level number, since for such systems the spacetimes one obtains possess evenly spaced, resonant spectra of frequencies for scalar fields of a certain mass. This construction emerges as a generalization of the previously studied correspondence between the Higgs oscillator and Anti-de Sitter spacetime, which has been useful for both understanding weakly nonlinear dynamics in Anti-de Sitter spacetime and algebras of conserved quantities of the Higgs oscillator. Our conversion procedure ("Klein-Gordonization") reduces to a nonlinear elliptic equation closely reminiscent of the one emerging in relation to the celebrated Yamabe problem of differential geometry. As an illustration, we explicitly demonstrate how to apply this procedure to superintegrable Rosochatius systems, resulting in a large family of spacetimes with resonant spectra for massless wave equations.

Curved Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde equation and ${\cal N}{=}\,4$ mechanics

We propose a generalization of the Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (WDVV) equation from ${\mathbb R}^n$ to an arbitrary Riemannian manifold. Its form is obtained by extending the relation of the WDVV equation with ${\cal N}{=}\,4$ supersymmetric $n$-dimensional mechanics from flat to curved space. The resulting `curved WDVV equation' is written in terms of a third-rank Codazzi tensor. For every flat-space WDVV solution subject to a simple constraint we provide a curved-space solution on any isotropic space, in terms of the rotationally invariant conformal factor of the metric.

Near horizon extremal Myers-Perry black holes and integrability of associated conformal mechanics

We investigate dynamics of probe particles moving in the near-horizon limit of (2N+1)-dimensional extremal Myers-Perry black hole with arbitrary rotation parameters. We observe that in the most general case with nonequal nonvanishing rotational parameters the system admits separation of variables in N-dimensional ellipsoidal coordinates. This allows us to find solution of the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi equation and write down the explicit expressions of Liouville constants of motion.

SU(1,2) invariance in two-dimensional oscillator

Performing the Hamiltonian analysis we explicitly established the canonical equivalence of the deformed oscillator, constructed in arXiv:1607.03756[hep-th], with the ordinary one. As an immediate consequence, we proved that the SU(1,2) symmetry is the dynamical symmetry of the ordinary two-dimensional oscillator. The characteristic feature of this SU(1,2) symmetry is a non-polynomial structure of its generators written it terms of the oscillator variables.

Spherical Calogero model with oscillator/Coulomb potential: classical case

We construct the Hamiltonians and symmetry generators of Calogero-oscillator and Calogero-Coulomb models on the N-dimensional sphere within the matrix-model reduction approach. Our method also produces the integrable Calogero-Coulomb-Stark model on the sphere and proves the integrability of the spin extensions of all these systems.

Spherical Calogero model with oscillator/Coulomb potential: quantum case

We consider the quantum mechanics of Calogero models in an oscillator or Coulomb potential on the N-dimensional sphere. Their Hamiltonians are obtained by an appropriate Dunkl deformation of the oscillator/Coulomb system on the sphere and its restriction to (Coxeter reflection) symmetric wave functions. By the same method we also find the symmetry generators and compute their algebras.

Integrability and separation of variables in Calogero-Coulomb-Stark and two-center Calogero-Coulomb systems

We propose the integrable N-dimensional Calogero-Coulomb-Stark and two-center Calogero-Coulomb systems and construct their constants of motion via the Dunkl operators. Their Schrödinger equations decouple in parabolic and elliptic coordinates into the set of three differential equations like for the Coulomb-Stark and two-center Coulomb problems. The Calogero term preserves the energy levels, but changes their degrees of degeneracy.

Lobachevsky geometry in TTW and PW systems

We review the classical properties of Tremblay-Turbiner-Winternitz and Post-Wintenitz systems and their relation with N-dimensional rational Calogero model with oscillator and Coulomb potentials, paying special attention to their hidden symmetries. Then we show that combining the radial coordinate and momentum in a single complex coordinate in proper way, we get an elegant description for the hidden and dynamical symmetries in these systems related with action-angle variables.

Runge-Lenz vector in Calogero-Coulomb problem

We construct the Runge-Lenz vector and symmetry algebra of rational Calogero-Coulomb problem, formulated in terms of Dunkl operators. We find that they are proper deformations of their Coulomb counterpart. Together with similar correspondence between the Calogero-oscillator and oscillator models, this observation permits to claim that most of properties of Coulomb and oscillator systems can be lifted to their Calogero-extended analogs by the proper replacement of momenta by Dunkl momenta operators.

Superintegrability of (generalized) Calogero models with oscillator or Coulomb potential

We deform N-dimensional (Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic) oscillator and Coulomb systems, replacing their angular degrees of freedom by those of a generalized rational Calogero model. Using the action-angle description, it is established that maximal superintegrability is retained. For the rational Calogero model with Coulomb potential, we present all constants of motion via matrix model reduction. In particular, we construct the analog of the Runge-Lenz vector.

Landau problem on the ellipsoid, hyperboloid and paraboloid of revolution

We define the Landau problem on two-dimensional surfaces of revolution of the second order: ellipsoid, hyperboloid and paraboloid. We start form the two-center MICZ-Kepler system Hamiltonian and then making the reduction into the various two-dimensional surfaces listed above we obtain the Hamiltonians of the charged particle moving on the corresponding surface of revolution with the magnetic filed conserving the symmetry of the two-dimensional surface(Landau problem). For each case we figure out at which values of parameters the qualitative character of the moving coincides with that of a free particle moving on the save two-dimensional surface. For the case of finite trajectories (ellipsoid) we construct also the action-angle variables.

Rigid particle revisited: extrinsic curvature yields the Dirac equation

We reexamine the model of relativistic particle with higher-derivative term linear on the first extrinsic curvature (rigidity). The passage from classical to quantum theory requires a number of rather unexpected steps which we report here. We found that, contrary to common opinion, quantization of the model in terms of $so(3.2)$-algebra yields massive Dirac equation.

Higher-derivative N=4 superparticle in three-dimensional spacetime

Using the coset approach (nonlinear realization) we construct component actions for a superparticle in three-dimensional spacetime with N=4 supersymmetry partially broken to N=2. These actions may contain an anyonic term and the square of the first extrinsic worldline curvature. We present the supercharges for the unbroken and broken supersymmetries as well as the Hamiltonian for the supersymmetric anyon. In terms of the nonlinear realization superfields, the superspace actions take a simple form in all cases.

Superintegrable models related to near horizon extremal Myers-Perry black hole in arbitrary dimension

We provide a systematic account of integrability of the spherical mechanics associated with the near horizon extremal Myers-Perry black hole in arbitrary dimension for the special case that all rotation parameters are equal. The integrability is established both in the original coordinates and in action-angle variables. It is demonstrated that the spherical mechanics associated with the black hole in d=2n+1 is maximally superintegrable, while its counterpart related to the black hole in d=2n lacks for only one integral of motion to be maximally superintegrable.

Isospin particle systems on quaternionic projective spaces

We construct the isospin particle system on $n$-dimensional quaternionic projective spaces in the presence of BPST-instanton by the reduction from the free particle on $(2n+1)$-dimensional complex projective space. Then we add to this system a "quaternionic oscillator potential" and show, that this oscillator-like system is superintegrable. We show, that besides the analogs of quadratic constants of motion of the spherical (Higgs) and $\mathbb{C}P^n $- oscillators, it possesses the third-order constants of motion, which are functionally independent from the quadratic ones.

Action-angle variables for the particle near extreme Kerr throat

We construct the action-angle variables for the spherical part of conformal mechanics describing the motion of a particle near extreme Kerr throat. We indicate the existence of the critical point $|p_φ|=mc R_{\rm Sch}$ (with $m$ being the mass of the particle, $c$ denoting the speed of light, $R_{\rm Sch}=2γM /c^2$ being the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole with mass $M$, and $γ$ denoting the gravitational constant), where these variables are expressed in terms of elementary functions. Away from this point the action-angle variables are defined by elliptic integrals. The proposed formulation allows one to easily reconstruct the whole dynamics of the particle both in initial coordinates, as well as in the so-called conformal basis, where the Hamiltonian takes the form of conventional non-relativistic conformal mechanics. The related issues, such as semiclassical quantization and supersymmetrization are also discussed.

The spherical sector of the Calogero model as a reduced matrix model

We investigate the matrix-model origin of the spherical sector of the rational Calogero model and its constants of motion. We develop a diagrammatic technique which allows us to find explicit expressions of the constants of motion and calculate their Poisson brackets. In this way we obtain all functionally independent constants of motion to any given order in the momenta. Our technique is related to the valence-bond basis for singlet states.
