On the Algebra of Symmetry of the Dirac Equation in Flat Space and De Sitter Space

The structure of the quadratic algebras of spinor symmetry operators for the Dirac equation is studied in a four-dimensional flat space and in the de Sitter space of arbitrary signature. The algebras are shown to be standard equivalent. Linear noncommutative subalgebras meeting the conditions of the noncommutative integrability theorem are found in these algebras.     

Noncommutative solutions of the d'Alembert equation

All the subalgebras of first-order symmetry operators for the d'Alembert equation, generating the bases of solutions in the method of noncommutative integration of linear differential equations, which cannot be constructed in the method of separation of variables, are found. These bases themselves are then given in explicit form. The complete systems of solutions of the d'Alembert equation, determined by noncommutative sets of first-order symmetry operators, are thereby classified. Tomsk State University.

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.     

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.     

Classical and algebraic Hamiltonian with su(3) symmetry

We use Gelfand-Zetlin patterns to obtain the coherent state for an arbitrary symmetric irreducible representation of su(3). The semiclassical evolution of a dynamical system whose Hamiltonian contains the Casimir operators of both su(2) and so(3) subalgebras is investigated, and it is concluded that the presence of a common operator in the subalgebras induces integrability despite the absence of dynamical symmetry.     

Enveloping algebra identities on solutions of conformally invariant wave equations

We study identities in the enveloping algebra of the conformal group, which is the symmetry group of many wave equations: d'Alambert, Weyl, Maxwell, etc. We find all second-order identities for these equations and, in addition, the dimension of the space of nontrivial symmetry operators of any order for the d'Alambert equation.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 14–18, September, 1991.     

Quadratic algebras and noncommutative integration of Klein-Gordon equations in non-steckel Riemann spaces

The method of noncommutative integration of linear partial differential equations is used to solve the Klein-Gordon equations in Riemann space, in the case when the set of noncommutating symmetry operators of this equation for a quadratic algebra consists of one second-order operator and several first-order operators. Solutions that do not permit variable separation are presented.Tomsk State University. Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 5, pp. 83–87, May, 1995.     

Symmetry Analysis and Conservation Laws for the Hunter-Saxton Equation

In this paper,the problem of determining the most general Lie point symmetries group and conservation laws of a well known nonlinear hyperbolic PDE in mathematical physics called the Hunter-Saxton equation(HSE) is analyzed.By applying the basic Lie symmetry method for the HSE,the classical Lie point symmetry operators are obtained.Also,the algebraic structure of the Lie algebra of symmetries is discussed and an optimal system of onedimensional subalgebras of the HSE symmetry algebra which creates the preliminary classification of group invariant solutions is constructed.Particularly,the Lie invariants as well as similarity reduced equations corresponding to infinitesimal symmetries are obtained.Mainly,the conservation laws of the HSE are computed via three different methods including Boyer's generalization of Noether's theorem,first homotopy method and second homotopy method.     

The generic quantum superintegrable system on the sphere and Racah operators

We consider the generic quantum superintegrable system on the d-sphere with potential \(V(y)=\sum _{k=1}^{d+1}\frac{b_k}{y_k^2}\), where \(b_k\) are parameters. Appropriately normalized, the symmetry operators for the Hamiltonian define a representation of the Kohno–Drinfeld Lie algebra on the space of polynomials orthogonal with respect to the Dirichlet distribution. The Gaudin subalgebras generated by Jucys–Murphy elements are diagonalized by families of Jacobi polynomials in d variables on the simplex. We define a set of generators for the symmetry algebra, and we prove that their action on the Jacobi polynomials is represented by the multivariable Racah operators introduced in Geronimo and Iliev (Constr Approx 31(3):417–457, 2010). The constructions also yield a new Lie-theoretic interpretation of the bispectral property for Tratnik’s multivariable Racah polynomials.     

Separation of variables and symmetry operators for the conformally invariant Klein-Gordon equation on curved spacetime

The separability of the conformally invariant Klein-Gordon equation and the Laplace-Beltrami equation are contrasted on two classes of Petrov type D curved spacetimes, showing that neither implies the other. The second-order symmetry operators corresponding to the separation of variables of the conformally invariant Klein-Gordon equation are constructed in both classes and the most general second-order symmetry operator for the conformally invariant Klein-Gordon operator on a general curved background is characterized tensorially in terms of a valence two-symmetric tensor satisfying the conformal Killing tensor equation and further constraints.     

Classification of F algebras and noncommutative integration of the Klein-Gordon equation in Riemannian spaces

The method of noncommutative integration of linear differential equations [A. V. Shapovalov and I. V. Shirokov, Izv. Vyssh. Uchebn. Zaved. Fiz., No. 4, 116; No. 5, 100 (1991)] is used to integrate the Klein-Gordon equation in Riemannian spaces. The situation is investigated where the set of noncommuting symmetry operators of the Klein-Gordon equation consists of first-order operators and one second-order operator and forms a so-called F algebra, which generalizes the concept of a Lie algebra. The F algebra is a quadratic algebra in the given situation. A classification of four- and five-dimensional F algebras is given. The integration of the Klein-Gordon equation in a Riemannian space, which does not admit separation of variables, is demonstrated in a nontrivial example.V. V. Kuibyshev State University, Tomsk.

Separation of variables in the Klein — Gordon equation. I

All types of external electromagnetic fields containing arbitrary functions which admit of separation of variables in the Klein-Gordon equation by using three first-order differential symmetry operators, and stationary fields admitting separation of variables by using two first- and one second-order differential operators, are found. The curvilinear coordinates in which the variables are divided are presented and the equations are written down in the separated variables.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 66–72, November, 1973.     

Symmetry Reduction of Two-Dimensional Damped Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation

In this paper, the problem of determining the largest possible set of symmetries for an important nonlinear dynamical system: the two-dimensional damped Kuramoto-Sivashinsky ((2D) DKS ) equation is studied. By applying the basic Lie symmetry method for the (2D) DKS equation, the classical Lie point symmetry operators are obtained. Also, the optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras of the equation is constructed. The Lie invariants as well as similarity reduced equations corresponding to infinitesimal symmetries are obtained. The nonclassical symmetries of the (2D) DKS equation are also investigated.     

Exhaustive Classification of the Invariant Solutions for a Specific Nonlinear Model Describing Near Planar and Marginally Long-Wave Unstable Interfaces for Phase Transition

Problems of thermodynamic phase transition originate inherently in solidification, combustion and various other significant fields. If the transition region among two locally stable phases is adequately narrow, the dynamics can be modeled by an interface motion. This paper is devoted to exhaustive analysis of the invariant solutions for a modified Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation in two spatial and one temporal dimensions is presented. This nonlinear partial differential equation asymptotically characterizes near planar interfaces, which are marginally long-wave unstable. For this purpose, by applying the classical symmetry method for this model the classical symmetry operators are attained.Moreover, the structure of the Lie algebra of symmetries is discussed and the optimal system of subalgebras, which yields the preliminary classification of group invariant solutions is constructed. Mainly, the Lie invariants corresponding to the infinitesimal symmetry generators as well as associated similarity reduced equations are also pointed out. Furthermore,the nonclassical symmetries of this nonlinear PDE are also comprehensively investigated.     

Two-dimensional supersymmetry: From SUSY quantum mechanics to integrable classical models

Two known two-dimensional SUSY quantum mechanical constructions—the direct generalization of SUSY with first-order supercharges and higher-order SUSY with second-order supercharges—are combined for a class of 2-dim quantum models, which are not amenable to separation of variables. The appropriate classical limit of quantum systems allows us to construct SUSY-extensions of original classical scalar Hamiltonians. Special emphasis is placed on the symmetry properties of the models thus obtained—the explicit expressions of quantum symmetry operators and of classical integrals of motion are given for all (scalar and matrix) components of SUSY-extensions. Using Grassmanian variables, the symmetry operators and classical integrals of motion are written in a unique form for the whole Superhamiltonian. The links of the approach to the classical Hamilton-Jacobi method for related “flipped” potentials are established.     

Quadratic algebras applied to noncommutative integration of the Klein-Gordon equation: Four-dimensional quadratic algebras containing three-dimensional nilpotent lie algebras

The study is continued on noncommutative integration of linear partial differential equations [1] in application to the exact integration of quantum-mechanical equations in a Riemann space. That method gives solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation when the set of noncommutative symmetry operations for that equation forms a quadratic algebra consisting of one second-order operator and of first-order operators forming a Lie algebra. The paper is a continuation of [2], where a single nontrivial example is used to demonstrate noncommutative integration of the Klein-Gordon equation in a Riemann space not permitting variable separation.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 89–94, March, 1995.     

Scasimir Operator,Scentre and Representations of Uq(osp(1|2))

Recently, Borchers has shown that in a theory of local observables, certain unitary and antiunitary operators, which are obtained from an elementary construction suggested by Bisognano and Wichmann, have the same commutation relations with translation operators as Lorentz boosts and P₁CT operators would have, respectively. It is concluded from this that as soon as the operators considered implement any symmetry, this symmetry can be fixed up to at most some translation. As a symmetry, any unitary or antiunitary operator is admitted under whose adjoint action any algebra of local observables is mapped onto an algebra which can be localized somewhere in Minkowski space.     

Jacobi,Ellipsoidal Coordinates and Superintegrable Systems

Abstract

We describe Jacobi’s method for integrating the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and his discovery of elliptic coordinates, the generic separable coordinate systems for real and complex constant curvature spaces. This work was an essential precursor for the modern theory of second-order superintegrable systems to which we then turn. A Schrödinger operator with potential on a Riemannian space is second-order superintegrable if there are 2n ? 1 (classically) functionally independent second-order symmetry operators. (The 2n ? 1 is the maximum possible number of such symmetries.) These systems are of considerable interest in the theory of special functions because they are multiseparable, i.e., variables separate in several coordinate sets and are explicitly solvable in terms of special functions. The interrelationships between separable solutions provides much additional information about the systems. We give an example of a superintegrable system and then present very recent results exhibiting the general structure of superintegrable systems in all real or complex two-dimensional spaces and three-dimensional conformally flat spaces and a complete list of such spaces and potentials in two dimensions.     

Noncommutative 5-dimensional subalgebras of a conformal algebra integrable in R1,3

The present study is concerned with the application and investigation of a new method of exact integration of systems of linear differential equations, the method of noncommutative integration. The method is based on the use of noncommutative subalgebras of symmetry for finding an exact solution. The investigation of 5-dimensional subalgebras of symmetry of the d'Alembert equation lead to the claim that there exists a class of subalgebras which generate exact solutions in explicit form but which it is not possible to obtain in explicit form by means of complete separation of the variables.Tomsk State University.
