Some problems of symmetry of the Schrödinger equations

The Schrödinger algebra sch₃ is examined as a subalgebra of the algebra k_1,4 of conformal transformations of the space R_{1, 4}. Orbits of the associated representations of the Schrödinger group are found in the algebra sch₃. It is proven that all nontrivial local differential symmetry operators of second order belong to the enveloping algebra U(sch₃) of the algebra sch₃, and the space of these operators is defined. All the absolute identities and identities on the solutions of the Schrödinger equation are obtained in the space of second-order operators of the algebra U(sch₃).Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 120–123, April, 1991.     

Supersymmetric Pair of q-Deformed Nonlocal Operators

A simple version of the q-deformed calculus is used to generate a pair ofq-nonlocal, second-order difference operators by means of deformed counterpartsof Darboux intertwining operators for the Schrödinger—Hermite oscillators atzero factorization energy. These deformed nonlocal operators may be consideredas supersymmetric partners and their structure contains contributions originatingin both the Hermite operator and the quantum harmonic oscillator operator. Thereare also extra ±x contributions. The undeformed limit, in which allq-nonlocalities wash out, corresponds to the usual supersymmetric pair of quantum mechanicalharmonic oscillator Hamiltonians. The more general case of negative factorizationenergy is briefly discussed as well.     

Two-dimensional Schrödinger Hamiltonians with effective mass in SUSY approach

The general solution of SUSY intertwining relations of first order for two-dimensional Schrödinger operators with position-dependent (effective) mass is built in terms of four arbitrary functions. The procedure of separation of variables for the constructed potentials is demonstrated in general form. The generalization for intertwining of second order is also considered. The general solution for a particular form of intertwining operator is found, its properties—symmetry, irreducibility, and separation of variables—are investigated.     

Noncommutative Heat Kernel

Schrödinger operators on Sobolev spaces are considered as new solvable models with point interactions. A simple formula for the deficiency indices of a minimal Schrödinger operator with point interactions is given. Examples of point interactions on the space W₂¹( ³) are constructed.Mathematical Subject Classification (2000). 37J10, 47A10     

Effective-Mass Schrödinger Equation and Generation of Solvable Potentials

A one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with position-dependent effective mass in the kinetic-energy operator is studied in the framework of an so(2,1) algebra. New mass-deformed versions of Scarf II, Morse, and generalized Pöschl-Teller potentials are obtained. Consistency with the intertwining condition is pointed out.     

Intertwining operator method and supersymmetry for effective mass Schrödinger equations

By application of the intertwining operator method to Schrödinger equations with position-dependent (effective) mass, we construct Darboux transformations, establish the supersymmetry factorization technique and show equivalence of both formalisms. Our findings prove equivalence of the intertwining technique and the method of point transformations.     

A Particle in a Magnetic Field of an Infinite Rectilinear Current

We consider the Schrödinger operator H=(i+A)² in the space L ₂(R ³) with a magnetic potential A created by an infinite rectilinear current. We show that the operator H is absolutely continuous, its spectrum has infinite multiplicity and coincides with the positive half-axis. Then we find the large-time behavior of solutions exp(–i H t)f of the time dependent Schrödinger equation. Our main observation is that a quantum particle has always a preferable (depending on its charge) direction of propagation along the current. Similar result is true in classical mechanics.     

Intertwining operator realization of non-relativistic holography

We give a group-theoretic interpretation of non-relativistic holography as equivalence between representations of the Schrödinger algebra describing bulk fields and boundary fields. Our main result is the explicit construction of the boundary-to-bulk operators in the framework of representation theory (without specifying any action). Further we show that these operators and the bulk-to-boundary operators are intertwining operators. In analogy to the relativistic case, we show that each bulk field has two boundary fields with conjugated conformal weights. These fields are related by another intertwining operator given by a two-point function on the boundary. Analogously to the relativistic result of Klebanov–Witten we give the conditions when both boundary fields are physical. Finally, we recover in our formalism earlier non-relativistic results for scalar fields by Son and others.     

A new construction of quasi-solvable quantum many-body systems of deformed Calogero-Sutherland type

We make a new multivariate generalization of the type A monomial space of a single variable. It is different from the previously introduced type A space of several variables which is an sl(M+1) module, and we thus call it type A′. We construct the most general quasi-solvable operator of (at most) second-order which preserves the type A′ space. Investigating directly the condition under which the type A′ operators can be transformed to Schrödinger operators, we obtain the complete list of the type A′ quasi-solvable quantum many-body systems. In particular, we find new quasi-solvable models of deformed Calogero-Sutherland type which are different from the Inozemtsev systems. We also examine a new multivariate generalization of the type C monomial space based on the type A′ scheme.     

Group properties of linear equations

A method of determining the symmetry algebra of a linear homogeneous equation is proposed. The Schrödinger equation that describes the steady state of a particle in a potential field is used as an example. The symmetry operators of this equation, which are second-order differential operators, are studied.     

Appearance of a purely singular continuous spectrum in a class of random schrödinger operators

We consider a discrete Schrödinger operator on l²() with a random potential decaying at infinity as ¦n¦^–1/2. We prove that its spectrum is purely singular. Together with previous results, this provides simple examples of random Schrödinger operators having a singular continuous component in its spectrum.     

Exactly solvable two-dimensional stationary Schrödinger operators obtained by the nonlocal Darboux transformation

The Fokker–Planck equation associated with the two-dimensional stationary Schrödinger equation has the conservation law form that yields a pair of potential equations. The special form of Darboux transformation of the potential equations system is considered. As the potential variable is a nonlocal variable for the Schrödinger equation that provides the nonlocal Darboux transformation for the Schrödinger equation. This nonlocal transformation is applied for obtaining of the exactly solvable two-dimensional stationary Schrödinger equations. The examples of exactly solvable two-dimensional stationary Schrödinger operators with smooth potentials decaying at infinity are obtained.     

Spinor with Schrödinger symmetry and non-relativistic supersymmetry

We construct the d-dimensional “half” Schrödinger equation, which is a kind of the root of the Schrödinger equation, from the (d+1)-dimensional free Dirac equation. The solution of the “half” Schrödinger equation also satisfies the usual free Schrödinger equation. We also find that the explicit transformation laws of the Schrödinger and the half Schrödinger fields under the Schrödinger symmetry transformation are derived by starting from the Klein-Gordon equation and the Dirac equation in d+1 dimensions. We derive the 3- and 4-dimensional super-Schrödinger algebra from the superconformal algebra in 4 and 5 dimensions. The algebra is realized by introducing two complex scalar and one (complex) spinor fields and the explicit transformation properties have been found.     

Relativistic quantum theory for charged spinless particles in external vector fields

Guided by a diagonalized form of the classical field-energy we construct a time-dependent canonical pair of Schrödinger fields _t (x) and _t (x) which diagonalizes the field-HamiltonianH _t . These Schrödinger fields in general belong to inequivalent representations of the canonical commutation relations for differentt's.The Heisenberg field is constructed by solving the Heisenberg equation of motion and its time-evolution turns out to be governed by a unitary operator, i.e. the Heisenberg fields at different times are unitarily equivalent.Scattering theory (including eventual incoming and/or outgoing bound-states) is finally constructed.     

A parallel algorithm for solving the 3d Schrödinger equation

We describe a parallel algorithm for solving the time-independent 3d Schrödinger equation using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. We introduce an optimized parallelization scheme that reduces communication overhead between computational nodes. We demonstrate that the compute time, t, scales inversely with the number of computational nodes as t ∝ (N_nodes)^{−0.95 ± 0.04}. This makes it possible to solve the 3d Schrödinger equation on extremely large spatial lattices using a small computing cluster. In addition, we present a new method for precisely determining the energy eigenvalues and wavefunctions of quantum states based on a symmetry constraint on the FDTD initial condition. Finally, we discuss the usage of multi-resolution techniques in order to speed up convergence on extremely large lattices.     

A general method for the solution of nonlinear soliton and kink Schrödinger equations

We present a method by which one-dimensional nonlinear soliton and kink Schrödinger equations can be solved in closed form. The hermitean nonlinear soliton operator may contain up to second derivatives of the wave function and the vanishing condition must hold. The method is applied to solve known nonlinear Schrödinger equations for one-soliton and one-kink solutions and, by inverting the procedure, to derive new operators with wave packet solutions of algebraic and arbitrary shapes. One of them is equivalent to the Derivative Nonlinear Schrödinger equation.     

Third-order constants of motion in quantum mechanics

We investigate the general form of a third-order linear differential operator that is required to commute with the Schrödinger Hamiltonian in two dimensions, and find that the third-order part must be a polynomial of third degree in the generators of the Euclidean group. Partial differential equations that the potentialV must satisfy are derived, and solved for the special cases where the Schrödinger equation separates in polar or Cartesian coordinates. The functionsV thus obtained are nonsingular, but are periodic through elliptic functions. After separation of variables, the Schrödinger equation gives Lame's equation.     

Rogue wave solutions for the coupled cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equations in nonlinear optics

A generalized Darboux transformation for the coupled cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation is constructed by the Darboux matrix method. As applications, the Nth-order rogue wave solutions of the coupled cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation have been obtained. In particular, the dynamics of the general first- and second-order rogue waves are discussed and illustrated through some figures.
