Revisiting the Symmetries of the Quantum Smorodinsky-Winternitz System in D Dimensions

The D-dimensional Smorodinsky-Winternitz system, proposed some years ago by Evans, is re-examined from an algebraic viewpoint. It is shown to possess a potential algebra, as well as a dynamical potential one, in addition to its known symmetry and dynamical algebras. The first two are obtained in hyp...

description The D-dimensional Smorodinsky-Winternitz system, proposed some years ago by Evans, is re-examined from an algebraic viewpoint. It is shown to possess a potential algebra, as well as a dynamical potential one, in addition to its known symmetry and dynamical algebras. The first two are obtained in hyperspherical coordinates by introducing D auxiliary continuous variables and by reducing a 2D-dimensional harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian. The su(2D) symmetry and w(2D)⊕s sp(4D,R) dynamical algebras of this Hamiltonian are then transformed into the searched for potential and dynamical potential algebras of the Smorodinsky-Winternitz system. The action of generators on wavefunctions is given in explicit form for D=2.
