Quantum Integrals from Coalgebra Structure

Abstract

Quantum versions of the hydrogen atom and the harmonic oscillator are studied on non Euclidean spaces of dimension N. 2N — 1 integrals, of arbitrary order, are constructed via a multi-dimensional version of the factorization method, thus confirming the conjecture of D Riglioni 2013 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 46 265207. The systems are extended via coalgebra extension of sl(2) representations, although not all integrals are expressible in these generators. As an example, dimensional reduction is applied to 4D systems to obtain extension and new proofs of the superintegrability of known families of Hamiltonians.
