Mixed superposition rules for Lie systems, compatible geometric structures, and applications

Mixed superposition rules are, in short, a method to describe the general solutions of a time-dependent system of first-order differential equations, a so-called Lie system, in terms of particular solutions of other ones. This article is concerned with the theory of mixed superposition rules and their connections with geometric structures. We provide methods to obtain mixed superposition rules for systems admitting an imprimitive finite-dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields or given by a semidirect sum. In particular, we develop a novel mixed coalgebra method for Lie systems that are Hamiltonian relative to a Dirac structure, which is quite general, although we restrict to symplectic and contact manifolds in applications. This provides us with practical methods to derive mixed superposition rules and extends the coalgebra method to a new field of application while solving minor technical issues of the known formalism. Throughout the paper, we apply our results to physical systems including Schrödinger Lie systems, Riccati systems, time-dependent Calogero--Moser systems with external forces, time-dependent harmonic oscillators, and time-dependent thermodynamical systems, where general solutions can be obtained from reduced system solutions. Our results are finally extended to Lie systems of partial differential equations and a new source of such PDE Lie systems, related to the formal construction of solutions close to a given particular solution of PDEs, is provided. An example based on the Tzitzéica equation and a related system illustrating the potential applicability of these methods is given.

Generalized quantum Zernike Hamiltonians: Polynomial Higgs-type algebras and algebraic derivation of the spectrum

We consider the quantum analog of the generalized Zernike systems given by the Hamiltonian: $$\hat{\mathcal{H}}_N =\hat{p}_1^2+\hat{p}_2^2+\sum_{k=1}^N γ_k (\hat{q}_1 \hat{p}_1+\hat{q}_2 \hat{p}_2)^k ,$$ with canonical operators $\hat{q}_i,\, \hat{p}_i$ and arbitrary coefficients $γ_k$. This two-dimensional quantum model, besides the conservation of the angular momentum, exhibits higher-order integrals of motion within the enveloping algebra of the Heisenberg algebra in two dimensions. By constructing suitable combinations of these integrals, we uncover a polynomial Higgs-type symmetry algebra that, through an appropriate change of basis, gives rise to a deformed oscillator algebra. The associated structure function $Φ$ is shown to factorize into two commuting components $Φ=Φ_1 Φ_2$. This framework enables an algebraic determination of the possible energy spectra of the model for the cases $1\le N \le 5$, the case $N=1$ being canonically equivalent to the harmonic oscillator. Based on these findings, we propose two conjectures which generalize the results for all $N\ge 1$ and any value of the coefficients $γ_k$. In addition, all of these results can be interpreted as higher-order superintegrable perturbations of the original quantum Zernike system corresponding to $N=2$, which are also analyzed and applied to the isotropic oscillator on the sphere, hyperbolic and Euclidean spaces

Contact Lie systems on Riemannian and Lorentzian spaces: from scaling symmetries to curvature-dependent reductions

We propose an adaptation of the notion of scaling symmetries for the case of Lie-Hamilton systems, allowing their subsequent reduction to contact Lie systems. As an illustration of the procedure, time-dependent frequency oscillators and time-dependent thermodynamic systems are analyzed from this point of view. The formalism provides a novel method for constructing contact Lie systems on the three-dimensional sphere, derived from recently established Lie-Hamilton systems arising from the fundamental four-dimensional representation of the symplectic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sp}(4,\mathbb{R})$. It is shown that these systems are a particular case of a larger hierarchy of contact Lie systems on a special class of three-dimensional homogeneous spaces, namely the Cayley-Klein spaces. These include Riemannian spaces (sphere, hyperbolic and Euclidean spaces), pseudo-Riemannian spaces (anti-de Sitter, de Sitter and Minkowski spacetimes), as well as Newtonian or non-relativistic spacetimes. Under certain topological conditions, some of these systems retrieve well-known two-dimensional Lie-Hamilton systems through a curvature-dependent reduction.

Polynomial Poisson Algebras and Superintegrable Systems from Cartan centralisers of Types $B_3$, $C_3$ and $D_3$

In this work, we construct explicit formulas for the generators of the Cartan centralisers of complex semisimple Lie algebras $B_n,C_n$ and $D_n$, the case $A_n$ being already known \cite{campoamor2023algebraic}. The precise structures for the cases of rank-three simple Lie algebras ($B_3,C_3$ and $D_3$) are provided, and the inclusion relations between the corresponding polynomial Poisson algebras (finitely generated Poisson algebras over $\mathbb{C}[\mathfrak{h}^*]$) are illustrated. We develop the idea of constructing algebraic superintegrable systems and their integrals from the generators of these polynomial Poisson algebras. In particular, we explicitly present the algebraic superintegrable systems corresponding to the Cartan reduction chains $\mathfrak{h} \subset \mathfrak{so}(6,\mathbb{C})$, $\mathfrak{h} \subset \mathfrak{so}(7,\mathbb{C})$, and $\mathfrak{h} \subset \mathfrak{sp}(6,\mathbb{C})$.

Subalgebra chains and nuclear physics: Commutant approach and construction of polynomial algebras

In this paper, we review a new approach to study subalgebra chains $\mathfrak{g} \supset \mathfrak{g}'$ in the context of nuclear physics. This approach does not rely on explicit realizations as bosons or differential operators. We rely on the enveloping algebra, the notion of commutant $C_{U(\mathfrak{g})}(\mathfrak{g}^{\prime})$ and $\mathfrak{g}^{\prime}$-invariant polynomials. This approach builds on those $\mathfrak{g}^{\prime}$-invariant polynomials and finding the underlying finitely generated polynomial algebras. Those algebraic structures can then provide further information on sets of labeling operators. Another aspect of this method consists in exploiting the dual space and the symmetric algebra. Being independent of explicit realizations, it endows the algebraic relations with a universal character. We review the chains associated with $\mathfrak{su}(3) \supset \mathfrak{so}(3)$, $\mathfrak{so}(5) \supset \mathfrak{su}(2) \times \mathfrak{u}(1)$, $\mathfrak{su}(4) \supset \mathfrak{su}(2) \times \mathfrak{su}(2)$. Those chains are known as the Elliott, Seniority and Supermultiplet. We also provide new results and insights into the subalgebra chain $\mathfrak{so}(5) \supset \mathfrak{so}(3)$ of the Surfon model. For all chains, we present the related commutant, $\mathfrak{g}^{\prime}$-invariant polynomials and Poisson algebras.

Generalized classical and quantum Zernike Hamiltonians

A superintegrable generalization of the classical and quantum Zernike systems is reviewed. The corresponding Hamiltonians are endowed with higher-order integrals and can be interpreted as higher-order superintegrable perturbations of the 2D spherical (Higgs), hyperbolic, and Euclidean harmonic oscillators. As a new result, the complete polynomial Higgs-type symmetry algebra of the generalized classical system is presented. For the generalized quantum system, the symmetry algebra and the spectra are provided for a representative case.

New perspectives in Kac-Moody algebras associated to higher dimensional manifolds

In this review, we present a general framework for the construction of Kac-Moody (KM) algebras associated to higher-dimensional manifolds. Starting from the classical case of loop algebras on the circle $\mathbb{S}^{1}$, we extend the approach to compact and non-compact group manifolds, coset spaces, and soft deformations thereof. After recalling the necessary geometric background on Riemannian manifolds, Hilbert bases and Killing vectors, we present the construction of generalized current algebras $\mathfrak{g}(\mathcal{M})$, their semidirect extensions with isometry algebras, and their central extensions. We show how the resulting algebras are controlled by the structure of the underlying manifold, and illustrate the framework through explicit realizations on $SU(2)$, $SU(2)/U(1)$, and higher-dimensional spheres, highlighting their relation to Virasoro-like algebras. We also discuss the compatibility conditions for cocycles, the role of harmonic analysis, and some applications in higher-dimensional field theory and supergravity compactifications. This provides a unifying perspective on KM algebras beyond one-dimensional settings, paving the way for further exploration of their mathematical and physical implications.

Kac-Moody Algebras on Soft Group Manifolds

Within the so-called group geometric approach to (super)gravity and (super)string theories, any compact Lie group manifold $G_{c}$ can be smoothly deformed into a group manifold $G_{c}^{μ}$ (locally diffeomorphic to $G_{c}$ itself), which is `soft', namely, based on a non-left-invariant, intrinsic one-form Vielbein $μ$, which violates the Maurer-Cartan equations and consequently has a non-vanishing associated curvature two-form. Within the framework based on the above deformation (`softening'), we show how to construct an infinite-dimensional (infinite-rank), generalized Kac-Moody (KM) algebra associated to $G_{c}^{μ}$, starting from the generalized KM algebras associated to $G_{c}$. As an application, we consider KM algebras associated to deformed manifolds such as the `soft' circle, the `soft' two-sphere and the `soft' three-sphere. While the generalized KM algebra associated to the deformed circle is trivially isomorphic to its undeformed analogue, and hence not new, the `softening' of the two- and three- sphere includes squashed manifolds (and in particular, the so-called Berger three-sphere) and yields to non-trivial results.

Nonlinear Lie-Hamilton systems: $t$-Dependent curved oscillators and Kepler-Coulomb Hamiltonians

The Lie-Hamilton approach for $t$-dependent Hamiltonians is extended to cover the so-called nonlinear Lie-Hamilton systems, which are no longer related to a linear $t$-dependent combination of a basis of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra of functions $\mathcal{W}$, but an arbitrary $t$-dependent function on $\mathcal{W}$. This novel formalism is accomplished through a detailed analysis of related structures, such as momentum maps and generalized distributions, together with the extension of the Poisson coalgebra method to a $t$-dependent frame, in order to systematize the construction of constants of the motion for nonlinear systems. Several relevant relations between nonlinear Lie-Hamilton systems, Lie-Hamilton systems, and collective Hamiltonians are analyzed. The new notions and tools are illustrated with the study of the harmonic oscillator, Hénon-Heiles systems and Painlevé trascendents within a $t$-dependent framework. In addition, the formalism is carefully applied to construct oscillators with a $t$-dependent frequency and Kepler-Coulomb systems with a $t$-dependent coupling constant on the $n$-dimensional sphere, Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces, as well as on some spaces of non-constant curvature.

Generalized Buchdahl equations as Lie-Hamilton systems from the 'book' and oscillator algebras: Quantum deformations and their general solution

We revisit the nonlinear second-order differential equations $$ \ddot{x}(t)=a (x )\dot{x}(t)^2+b(t)\dot{x}(t) $$ where $a(x)$ and $b(t)$ are arbitrary functions on their argument from the perspective of Lie-Hamilton systems. For the particular choice $a(x)=3/x$ and $b(t)=1/t$, these equations reduce to the Buchdahl equation considered in the context of General Relativity. It is shown that these equations are associated to the 'book' Lie algebra $\mathfrak{b}_2$, determining a Lie-Hamilton system for which the corresponding $t$-dependent Hamiltonian and the general solution of the equations are given. The procedure is illustrated considering several particular cases. We also make use of the quantum deformation of $\mathfrak{b}_2$ with quantum deformation parameter $z$ (where $q={\rm e}^z$), leading to a deformed generalized Buchdahl equation. Applying the formalism of Poisson-Hopf deformations of Lie-Hamilton systems, we derive the corresponding deformed $t$-dependent Hamiltonian, as well as its general solution. The generalized Buchdahl equation is further extended to the oscillator Lie-Hamilton algebra $\mathfrak{h}_4\supset \mathfrak{b}_2$, together with its quantum deformation, and the corresponding (deformed) equations are also analyzed for their exact solutions. The presence of the quantum deformation parameter $z$ is interpreted as the introduction of an integrable perturbation of the (initial) generalized Buchdahl equation, which is described in detail in its linear approximation. Finally, it is also shown that, under quantum deformations, the higher-dimensional deformed generalized Buchdahl equations from either the book or the oscillator algebras do not reduce to a sum of copies of the initial system but to intrinsic coupled systems governed by $z$.

Polynomial algebra from the Lie algebra reduction chain $\mathfrak{su}(4) \supset \mathfrak{su}(2) \times \mathfrak{su}(2)$: The supermultiplet model

The supermultiplet model, based on the reduction chain $\mathfrak{su}(4) \supset \mathfrak{su}(2) \times \mathfrak{su}(2)$, is revisited through the lens of commutants within universal enveloping algebras of Lie algebras. From this analysis, a collection of twenty polynomials up to degree nine emerges from the commutant associated with the $\mathfrak{su}(2) \times \mathfrak{su}(2)$ subalgebra. This study is conducted in the Poisson (commutative) framework using the Lie-Poisson bracket associated with the dual of the Lie algebra under consideration. As the main result, we obtain the polynomial Poisson algebra generated by these twenty linearly independent and indecomposable polynomials, with five elements being central. This incorporates polynomial expansions up to degree seventeen in the Lie algebra generators. We further discuss additional algebraic relations among these polynomials, explicitly detailing some of the lower-order ones. As a byproduct of these results, we also show that the recently introduced 'grading method' turns out to be essential for deriving the Poisson bracket relations when the degree of the expansions becomes so high that standard approaches are no longer applicable, due to computational limitations. These findings represent a further step toward the systematic exploration of polynomial algebras relevant to nuclear models.

On the construction of polynomial Poisson algebras: a novel grading approach

In this work, we refine recent results on the explicit construction of polynomial algebras associated with commutants of subalgebras in enveloping algebras of Lie algebras by considering an additional grading with respect to the subalgebra. It is shown that such an approach simplifies and systematizes the explicit derivation of the Lie--Poisson brackets of elements in the commutant, and several fundamental properties of the grading are given. The procedure is illustrated by revisiting three relevant reduction chains associated with the rank-two complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}(3,\mathbb{C})$. Specifically, we analyze the reduction chains $\mathfrak{so}(3) \subset \mathfrak{su}(3)$, corresponding to the Elliott model in nuclear physics, the chain $\mathfrak{o}(3) \subset \mathfrak{sl}(3,\mathbb{C})$ associated with the decomposition of the enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}(3,\mathbb{C})$ as a sum of modules, and the reduction chain $\mathfrak{h} \subset \mathfrak{sl}(3,\mathbb{C})$ connected to the Racah algebra $R(3)$. In addition, a description of the classification of the centralizer with respect to the Cartan subalgebra $\mathfrak{h}$ associated with the classical series $A_n$ in connection with its root system is reconsidered. As an illustration of the procedure, the case of $S(A_3)^\mathfrak{h}$ is considered in detail, which is connected with the rank-two Racah algebra for specific realizations of the generators as vector fields. This case has attracted interest with regard to orthogonal polynomials.

A representation-theoretical approach to higher-dimensional Lie-Hamilton systems: The symplectic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sp}(4,\mathbb{R})$

A new procedure for the construction of higher-dimensional Lie-Hamilton systems is proposed. This method is based on techniques belonging to the representation theory of Lie algebras and their realization by vector fields. The notion of intrinsic Lie-Hamilton system is defined, and a sufficiency criterion for this property given. Novel four-dimensional Lie-Hamilton systems arising from the fundamental representation of the symplectic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sp}(4,\mathbb{R})$ are obtained and proved to be intrinsic. Two distinguished subalgebras, the two-photon Lie algebra $\mathfrak{h}_{6}$ and the Lorentz Lie algebra $\mathfrak{so}(1,3)$, are also considered in detail. As applications, coupled time-dependent systems which generalize the Bateman oscillator and the one-dimensional Caldirola-Kanai models are constructed, as well as systems depending on a time-dependent electromagnetic field and generalized coupled oscillators. A superposition rule for these systems, exhibiting interesting symmetry properties, is obtained using the coalgebra method.

Lie-Hamilton systems on Riemannian and Lorentzian spaces from conformal transformations and some of their applications

We propose a generalization of two classes of Lie-Hamilton systems on the Euclidean plane to two-dimensional curved spaces, leading to novel Lie-Hamilton systems on Riemannian spaces (flat $2$-torus, product of hyperbolic lines, sphere and hyperbolic plane), pseudo-Riemannian spaces (anti-de Sitter, de Sitter, and Minkowski spacetimes), as well as to semi-Riemannian spaces (Newtonian or non-relativistic spacetimes). The vector fields, Hamiltonian functions, symplectic form and constants of the motion of the Euclidean classes are recovered by a contraction process. The construction is based on the structure of certain subalgebras of the so-called conformal algebras of the two-dimensional Cayley-Klein spaces. These curved Lie-Hamilton classes allow us to generalize naturally the Riccati, Kummer-Schwarz and Ermakov equations on the Euclidean plane to curved spaces, covering both the Riemannian and Lorentzian possibilities, and where the curvature can be considered as an integrable deformation parameter of the initial Euclidean system.

From colored gravity to electromagnetism

The gauge formalism in \textit{telepalallel gravity} provides an interesting viewpoint to describe interactions according to an anholonomic observer's tetrad basis. Without going into assessing the complete viability of quantization in an early stage, this paper explores classical gravity within the framework of a classical-to-quantum bridge between the SU$(1, 3)$ Yang--Mills gauge formalism and the gauge-like treatment of teleparallel gravity. Specifically, the perturbed spacetime algebra with Weitzenböck connection can be assimilated to a local complexification based on the SU$(1,3)$ Yang--Mills theory, what we call hypercolor or, simply, color. The formulation of the hypercolor dynamics is build by a translational gauge, as in the teleparallel gravities. In particular, this work analyses small perturbations of a metric decomposition related to the Wilson line and the Kaluza--Klein metric, but obtaining electrodynamics in four dimensions. The spacetime coordinates are now matrices that represent elements of the $\mathfrak{su}(1,3)$ algebra. To make compatible the formulation of a colored gravity with the Lorentz force and the Maxwell equations, it is enough to define every energy potential origin as 0 in the event horizon instead of the classic zero potential at infinity. Under the colored gravity framework, standard electromagnetism can be obtained as a particular abelian case.

Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras on the two-sphere and the two-torus

We particularise the construction of generalised Kac-Moody algebras associated to compact real manifolds to the case of the two-torus $\mathbb T_2$ and the two-sphere ${\mathbb S}^2$. It is shown that these algebras, as well as a Virasoro algebra associated to the two-torus and the two-sphere, can also be derived considering the usual Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras.

An infinite-rank Lie algebra associated to SL$(2,\mathbb R)$ and SL$(2,\mathbb R)/U(1)$

We construct a generalised notion of Kac-Moody algebras using smooth maps from the non-compact manifolds ${\cal M}=$SL$(2,\mathbb R)$ and ${\cal M}=$ SL$(2,\mathbb R)/U(1)$ to a finite-dimensional simple Lie group $G$. This construction is achieved through two equivalent ways: by means of the Plancherel Theorem and by identifying a Hilbert basis within $L^2(\mathcal{M})$. We analyse the existence of central extensions and identify those in duality with Hermitean operators on $\cal M$. By inspecting the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$, we derive the Lie brackets characterising the corresponding generalised Kac-Moody algebras. The root structure of these algebras is identified, and it is shown that an infinite number of simultaneously commuting operators can be defined. Furthermore, we briefly touch upon applications of these algebras within the realm of supergravity, particularly in scenarios where the scalar fields coordinatize the non-compact manifold $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})/U(1)$.
