Anisotropic harmonic oscillator, non-commutative Landau problem and exotic Newton-Hooke symmetry

We investigate the planar anisotropic harmonic oscillator with explicit rotational symmetry as a particle model with non-commutative coordinates. It includes the exotic Newton-Hooke particle and the non-commutative Landau problem as special, isotropic and maximally anisotropic, cases. The system is described by the same (2+1)-dimensional exotic Newton-Hooke symmetry as in the isotropic case, and develops three different phases depending on the values of the two central charges. The special cases of the exotic Newton-Hooke particle and non-commutative Landau problem are shown to be characterized by additional, so(3) or so(2,1) Lie symmetry, which reflects their peculiar spectral properties.

Peculiarities of the hidden nonlinear supersymmetry of Poschl-Teller system in the light of Lame equation

A hidden nonlinear bosonized supersymmetry was revealed recently in Poschl-Teller and finite-gap Lame systems. In spite of the intimate relationship between the two quantum models, the hidden supersymmetry in them displays essential differences. In particular, the kernel of the supercharges of the Poschl-Teller system, unlike the case of Lame equation, includes nonphysical states. By means of Lame equation, we clarify the nature of these peculiar states, and show that they encode essential information not only on the original hyperbolic Poschl-Teller system, but also on its singular hyperbolic and trigonometric modifications, and reflect the intimate relation of the model to a free particle system.

(2+1)D Exotic Newton-Hooke Symmetry, Duality and Projective Phase

A particle system with a (2+1)D exotic Newton-Hooke symmetry is constructed by the method of nonlinear realization. It has three essentially different phases depending on the values of the two central charges. The subcritical and supercritical phases (describing 2D isotropic ordinary and exotic oscillators) are separated by the critical phase (one-mode oscillator), and are related by a duality transformation. In the flat limit, the system transforms into a free Galilean exotic particle on the noncommutative plane. The wave equations carrying projective representations of the exotic Newton-Hooke symmetry are constructed.

Bosonized supersymmetry of anyons and supersymmetric exotic particle on the non-commutative plane

A covariant set of linear differential field equations, describing an N=1 supersymmetric anyon system in (2+1)D, is proposed in terms of Wigner's deformation of the bosonic Heisenberg algebra. The non-relativistic ``Jackiw-Nair'' limit extracts the ordinary bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom from the Heisenberg-Wigner algebra. It yields first-order, non-relativistic wave equations for a spinning particle on the non-commutative plane that admits a Galilean exotic planar N=1 supersymmetry.

Hidden supersymmetry in quantum bosonic systems

We show that some simple well studied quantum mechanical systems without fermion (spin) degrees of freedom display, surprisingly, a hidden supersymmetry. The list includes the bound state Aharonov-Bohm, the Dirac delta and the Poschl-Teller potential problems, in which the unbroken and broken N=2 supersymmetry of linear and nonlinear (polynomial) forms is revealed.

Hidden nonlinear supersymmetry of finite-gap Lame equation

A bosonized nonlinear (polynomial) supersymmetry is revealed as a hidden symmetry of the finite-gap Lame equation. This gives a natural explanation for peculiar properties of the periodic quantum system underlying diverse models and mechanisms in field theory, nonlinear wave physics, cosmology and condensed matter physics.

Majorana equation and exotics: higher derivative models, anyons and noncommutative geometry

In 1932 Ettore Majorana proposed an infinite-component relativistic wave equation for particles of arbitrary integer and half-integer spin. In the late 80s and early 90s it was found that the higher-derivative geometric particle models underlie the Majorana equation, and that its (2+1)-dimensional analogue provides with a natural basis for the description of relativistic anyons. We review these aspects and discuss the relationship of the equation to the exotic planar Galilei symmetry and noncommutative geometry. We also point out the relation of some Abelian gauge field theories with Chern-Simons terms to the Landau problem in the noncommutative plane from the perspective of the Majorana equation.

Electric Chern-Simons term, enlarged exotic Galilei symmetry and noncommutative plane

The extended exotic planar model for a charged particle is constructed. It includes a Chern-Simons-like term for a dynamical electric field, but produces usual equations of motion for the particle in background constant uniform electric and magnetic fields. The electric Chern-Simons term is responsible for the non-commutativity of the boost generators in the ten-dimensional enlarged exotic Galilei symmetry algebra of the extended system. The model admits two reduction schemes by the integrals of motion, one of which reproduces the usual formulation for the charged particle in external constant electric and magnetic fields with associated field-deformed Galilei symmetry, whose commuting boost generators are identified with the nonlocal in time Noether charges reduced on-shell. Another reduction scheme, in which electric field transmutes into the commuting space translation generators, extracts from the model a free particle on the noncommutative plane described by the two-fold centrally extended Galilei group of the non-relativistic anyons.

On hidden broken nonlinear superconformal symmetry of conformal mechanics and nature of double nonlinear superconformal symmetry

We show that for positive integer values $l$ of the parameter in the conformal mechanics model the system possesses a hidden nonlinear superconformal symmetry, in which reflection plays a role of the grading operator. In addition to the even $so(1,2)\oplus u(1)$-generators, the superalgebra includes $2l+1$ odd integrals, which form the pair of spin-$(l+{1/2})$ representations of the bosonic subalgebra and anticommute for order $2l+1$ polynomials of the even generators. This hidden symmetry, however, is broken at the level of the states in such a way that the action of the odd generators violates the boundary condition at the origin. In the earlier observed double nonlinear superconformal symmetry, arising in the superconformal mechanics for certain values of the boson-fermion coupling constant, the higher order symmetry is of the same, broken nature.

Nonrelativistic anyons in external electromagnetic field

The first-order, infinite-component field equations we proposed before for non-relativistic anyons (identified with particles in the plane with noncommuting coordinates) are generalized to accommodate arbitrary background electromagnetic fields. Consistent coupling of the underlying classical system to arbitrary fields is introduced; at a critical value of the magnetic field, the particle follows a Hall-like law of motion. The corresponding quantized system reveals a hidden nonlocality if the magnetic field is inhomogeneous. In the quantum Landau problem spectral as well as state structure (finite vs. infinite) asymmetry is found. The bound and scattering states, separated by the critical magnetic field phase, behave as further, distinct phases.

Anyon wave equations and the noncommutative plane

The ``Jackiw-Nair'' non-relativistic limit of the relativistic anyon equations provides us with infinite-component wave equations of the Dirac-Majorana-Levy-Leblond type for the ``exotic'' particle, associated with the two-fold central extension of the planar Galilei group. An infinite dimensional representation of the Galilei group is found. The velocity operator is studied, and the observable coordinates describing a noncommutative plane are identified.

Nonlinear superconformal symmetry of a fermion in the field of a Dirac monopole

We study a longstanding problem of identification of the fermion-monopole symmetries. We show that the integrals of motion of the system generate a nonlinear classical Z_2-graded Poisson, or quantum super- algebra, which may be treated as a nonlinear generalization of the $osp(2|2)\oplus su(2)$. In the nonlinear superalgebra, the shifted square of the full angular momentum plays the role of the central charge. Its square root is the even osp(2|2) spin generating the u(1) rotations of the supercharges. Classically, the central charge's square root has an odd counterpart whose quantum analog is, in fact, the same osp(2|2) spin operator. As an odd integral, the osp(2|2) spin generates a nonlinear supersymmetry of De Jonghe, Macfarlane, Peeters and van Holten, and may be identified as a grading operator of the nonlinear superconformal algebra.

Superconformal mechanics and nonlinear supersymmetry

We show that a simple change of the classical boson-fermion coupling constant, $2α\to 2αn $, $n\in \N$, in the superconformal mechanics model gives rise to a radical change of a symmetry: the modified classical and quantum systems are characterized by the nonlinear superconformal symmetry. It is generated by the four bosonic integrals which form the so(1,2) x u(1) subalgebra, and by the 2(n+1) fermionic integrals constituting the two spin-n/2 so(1,2)-representations and anticommuting for the order n polynomials of the even generators. We find that the modified quantum system with an integer value of the parameter $α$ is described simultaneously by the two nonlinear superconformal symmetries of the orders relatively shifted in odd number. For the original quantum model with $|α|=p$, $p\in \N$, this means the presence of the order 2p nonlinear superconformal symmetry in addition to the osp(2|2) supersymmetry.

Interaction via reduction and nonlinear superconformal symmetry

We show that the reduction of a planar free spin-1/2 particle system by the constraint fixing its total angular momentum produces the one-dimensional Akulov-Pashnev-Fubini-Rabinovici superconformal mechanics model with the nontrivially coupled boson and fermion degrees of freedom. The modification of the constraint by including the particle's spin with the relative weight $n\in \N$, $n>1$, and subsequent application of the Dirac reduction procedure (`first quantize and then reduce') give rise to the anomaly free quantum system with the order $n$ nonlinear superconformal symmetry constructed recently in hep-th/0304257. We establish the origin of the quantum corrections to the integrals of motion generating the nonlinear superconformal algebra, and fix completely its form.

Dolan-Grady Relations and Noncommutative Quasi-Exactly Solvable Systems

We investigate a U(1) gauge invariant quantum mechanical system on a 2D noncommutative space with coordinates generating a generalized deformed oscillator algebra. The Hamiltonian is taken as a quadratic form in gauge covariant derivatives obeying the nonlinear Dolan-Grady relations. This restricts the structure function of the deformed oscillator algebra to a quadratic polynomial. The cases when the coordinates form the su(2) and sl(2,R) algebras are investigated in detail. Reducing the Hamiltonian to 1D finite-difference quasi-exactly solvable operators, we demonstrate partial algebraization of the spectrum of the corresponding systems on the fuzzy sphere and noncommutative hyperbolic plane. A completely covariant method based on the notion of intrinsic algebra is proposed to deal with the spectral problem of such systems.

Nonlinear Holomorphic Supersymmetry on Riemann Surfaces

We investigate the nonlinear holomorphic supersymmetry for quantum-mechanical systems on Riemann surfaces subjected to an external magnetic field. The realization is shown to be possible only for Riemann surfaces with constant curvature metrics. The cases of the sphere and Lobachevski plane are elaborated in detail. The partial algebraization of the spectrum of the corresponding Hamiltonians is proved by the reduction to one-dimensional quasi-exactly solvable sl(2,R) families. It is found that these families possess the "duality" transformations, which form a discrete group of symmetries of the corresponding 1D potentials and partially relate the spectra of different 2D systems. The algebraic structure of the systems on the sphere and hyperbolic plane is explored in the context of the Onsager algebra associated with the nonlinear holomorphic supersymmetry. Inspired by this analysis, a general algebraic method for obtaining the covariant form of integrals of motion of the quantum systems in external fields is proposed.

Non-relativistic anyons, exotic Galilean symmetry and noncommutative plane

We show that the Lukierski et al. model, invariant with respect to the two-fold centrally extended Galilei group, can be decomposed into an infinite number of independent copies (differing in their spin) of the ``exotic'' particle of Duval et al. The difference between the two models is found to be sensitive to electromagnetic coupling. The nature of the noncommutative plane coordinates is discussed in the light of the exotic Galilean symmetry. We prove that the first model, interpreted as describing a non-relativistic anyon, is the non-relativistic limit of a particle with torsion related to relativistic anyons.
