Superintegrable systems of two interacting spin-$\frac12$ particles with first-order vector integrals of motion

We study quantum superintegrability for two interacting non-relativistic spin-$\frac12$ particles in three-dimensional Euclidean space. The Hamiltonian contains a central potential together with spin-orbit, spin-spin, tensor, and quadratic spin-orbit interaction terms, all depending only on the relative distance. We restrict the classification to the $V_4=0$ case, so that the spin-momentum interaction term is not included. We determine all such systems admitting non-trivial first-order vector integrals of motion. For this purpose, we construct the most general Hermitian first-order vector operator built from the relative position, momentum, orbital angular momentum, and the two spin vectors. The commutativity condition with the Hamiltonian leads to an overdetermined system of radial determining equations, whose solution gives the complete list of admissible potentials and the corresponding vector integrals within this class. The results extend the previous classifications of scalar and pseudo-scalar first-order integrals for two particles with spin. We also discuss selected symmetry algebras generated by the vector integrals and show, in one representative case, how a scalar reduction leads to exact Coulomb- and oscillator-type solutions.

Superintegrability in the interaction of two particles with spin: First-order pseudo-scalar integrals of motion

In recent work, we initiated a research program aimed at the systematic investigation of quantum superintegrable systems describing the interaction of two non-relativistic spin-$1/2$ particles in three-dimensional Euclidean space. In that study, we classified all such superintegrable systems admitting additional first-order scalar integrals of motion. In the present paper, we continue this program by focusing on systems that admit additional pseudo-scalar integrals of motion. Starting from the most general rotationally invariant Hamiltonian for two interacting spin-$1/2$ particles, we construct the most general first-order pseudo-scalar operator in the form of a matrix polynomial in the momenta. Imposing the commutativity of this operator with the Hamiltonian leads to a system of determining equations. By solving these equations, we obtain a complete classification of such superintegrable systems and determine the corresponding pseudo-scalar integrals of motion. The resulting classification provides new families of superintegrable systems with spin-dependent interactions. These systems enrich the class of integrable models relevant to nucleon--nucleon interactions and contribute to the broader program of classifying superintegrable quantum systems with spin. For selected cases, we further construct the associated polynomial symmetry algebras generated by the integrals of motion, providing additional insight into the algebraic structure of the systems.

Superintegrability in the interaction of two particles with spin

We initiate a research program for the systematic investigation of quantum superintegrable systems involving the interaction of two non-relativistic particles with spin $1/2$ moving in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. In this paper, we focus specifically on such superintegrable systems that allow additional scalar integrals of motion, linear in the momenta. We first identify specific potentials appearing in the Hamiltonian that should be excluded from the analysis, as they can be immediately derived through gauge transformations of the natural Hamiltonian. Next, we construct the most general symmetric scalar operator and derive the determining equations from its commutation with the Hamiltonian. Solving these equations, we obtain 30 new superintegrable systems with spin, along with their corresponding first-order scalar integrals of motion.

Superintegrable systems with spin and second-order (pseudo)tensor integrals of motion

We investigate a quantum non-relativistic system describing the interaction of two particles with spin 1/2 and spin 0, respectively. Assuming that the Hamiltonian is rotationally invariant and parity conserving we identify all such systems which allow additional (pseudo)tensor integrals of motion that are second order matrix polynomials in the momenta. Previously we found all the (pseudo)scalar and (axial)vector integrals of motion. No non-obvious tensor integrals exist. However, nontrivial pseudo-tensor integrals do exist. Together with our earlier results we give a complete list of such superintegrable Hamiltonian systems allowing second-order integrals of motion.

Extended Dynamical Symmetries of Landau Levels in Higher Dimensions

Continuum models for time-reversal (TR) invariant topological insulators (TIs) in $d \geq 3$ dimensions are provided by harmonic oscillators coupled to certain $SO(d)$ gauge fields. These models are equivalent to the presence of spin-orbit (SO) interaction in the oscillator Hamiltonians at a critical coupling strength (equivalent to the harmonic oscillator frequency) and leads to flat Landau Level (LL) spectra and therefore to infinite degeneracy of either the positive or the negative helicity states depending on the sign of the SO coupling. Generalizing the results of Haaker et al. to $d \geq 4$, we construct vector operators commuting with these Hamiltonians and show that $SO(d,2)$ emerges as the non-compact extended dynamical symmetry. Focusing on the model in four dimensions, we demonstrate that the infinite degeneracy of the flat spectra can be fully explained in terms of the discrete unitary representations of $SO(4,2)$, i.e. the {\it doubletons}. The degeneracy in the opposite helicity branch is finite, but can still be explained exploiting the complex conjugate {\it doubleton} representations. Subsequently, the analysis is generalized to $d$ dimensions, distinguishing the cases of odd and even $d$. We also determine the spectrum generating algebra in these models and briefly comment on the algebraic organization of the LL states w.r.t to an underlying "deformed" AdS geometry as well as on the organization of the surface states under open boundary conditions in view of our results.

Constant curvature holomorphic solutions of the supersymmetric grassmannian sigma model: the case of $G(2,4)$

We explore the constant curvature holomorphic solutions of the supersymmetric grassmannian sigma model $G(M,N)$ using in particular the gauge invariance of the model. Supersymmetric invariant solutions are constructed via generalizing a known result for ${C}P^{N-1}$. We show that some other such solutions also exist. Indeed, considering the simplest case of $G(2,N)$ model, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for getting the constant curvature holomorphic solutions. Since, all the constant curvature holomorphic solutions of the bosonic $G(2,4)$ $σ$-model are known, we treat this example in detail.

General $N^{th}$-order superintegrable systems separating in polar coordinates

The general description of superintegrable systems with one polynomial integral of order $N$ in the momenta is presented for a Hamiltonian system in two-dimensional Euclidean plane. We consider classical and quantum Hamiltonian systems allowing separation of variables in polar coordinates. The potentials can be classified into two major classes and their main properties are described. We conjecture that a new infinite family of superintegrable potentials in terms of the sixth Painlevé transcendent $P_6$ exists and demonstrate this for the first few cases.

Fourth-order superintegrable systems separating in Polar Coordinates. II. Standard Potentials

Superintegrable Hamiltonian systems in a two-dimensional Euclidean space are considered. We present all real standard potentials that allow separation of variables in polar coordinates and admit an independent fourth-order integral of motion. The general form of the potentials satisfies a linear ODE. In the classical case, the standard potentials coincide with the Tremblay-Turbiner-Winternitz (TTW) or Post-Winternitz (PW) models. In the quantum case new superintegrable systems are obtained, in addition to the TTW and PW ones. Their classical limit is free motion.

Integrable and superintegrable systems with spin in three-dimensional Euclidean space

A systematic search for superintegrable quantum Hamiltonians describing the interaction between two particles with spin 0 and 1/2, is performed. We restrict to integrals of motion that are first-order (matrix) polynomials in the components of linear momentum. Several such systems are found and for one non-trivial example we show how superintegrability leads to exact solvability: we obtain exact (nonperturbative) bound state energy formulas and exact expressions for the wave functions in terms of products of Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials.

On analytic descriptions of two-dimensional surfaces associated with the CP^(N-1) sigma model

We study analytic descriptions of conformal immersions of the Riemann sphere S^2 into the CP^(N-1) sigma model. In particular, an explicit expression for two-dimensional (2-D) surfaces, obtained from the generalized Weierstrass formula, is given. It is also demonstrated that these surfaces coincide with the ones obtained from the Sym-Tafel formula. These two approaches correspond to parametrizations of one and the same surface in R^(N^2-1).

Surfaces obtained from CP^(N-1) sigma models

In this paper, the Weierstrass technique for harmonic maps S^2 -> CP^(N-1) is employed in order to obtain surfaces immersed in multidimensional Euclidean spaces. It is shown that if the CP^(N-1) model equations are defined on the sphere S^2 and the associated action functional of this model is finite, then the generalized Weierstrass formula for immersion describes conformally parametrized surfaces in the su(N) algebra. In particular, for any holomorphic or antiholomorphic solution of this model the associated surface can be expressed in terms of an orthogonal projector of rank (N-1). The implementation of this method is presented for two-dimensional conformally parametrized surfaces immersed in the su(3) algebra. The usefulness of the proposed approach is illustrated with examples, including the dilation-invariant meron-type solutions and the Veronese solutions for the CP^2 model. Depending on the location of the critical points (zeros and poles) of the first fundamental form associated with the meron solution, it is shown that the associated surfaces are semi-infinite cylinders. It is also demonstrated that surfaces related to holomorphic and mixed Veronese solutions are immersed in R^8 and R^3, respectively.

Integrable and superintegrable systems with spin

A system of two particles with spin s=0 and s=1/2 respectively, moving in a plane is considered. It is shown that such a system with a nontrivial spin-orbit interaction can allow an 8 dimensional Lie algebra of first-order integrals of motion. The Pauli equation is solved in this superintegrable case and reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations when only one first-order integral exists.

Superintegrable systems with spin in two- and three-dimensional Euclidean spaces

The concept of superintegrability in quantum mechanics is extended to the case of a particle with spin s=1/2 interacting with one of spin s=0. Non-trivial superintegrable systems with 8- and 9-dimensional Lie algebras of first-order integrals of motion are constructed in two- and three-dimensional spaces, respectively.

Conformally parametrized surfaces associated with CP^(N-1) sigma models

Two-dimensional conformally parametrized surfaces immersed in the su(N) algebra are investigated. The focus is on surfaces parametrized by solutions of the equations for the CP^(N-1) sigma model. The Lie-point symmetries of the CP^(N-1) model are computed for arbitrary N. The Weierstrass formula for immersion is determined and an explicit formula for a moving frame on a surface is constructed. This allows us to determine the structural equations and geometrical properties of surfaces in R^(N^2-1). The fundamental forms, Gaussian and mean curvatures, Willmore functional and topological charge of surfaces are given explicitly in terms of any holomorphic solution of the CP^2 model. The approach is illustrated through several examples, including surfaces immersed in low-dimensional su(N) algebras.
