Nonlinear supersymmetry in the quantum Calogero model

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer review

Abstract

It is long known that the rational Calogero model describing n identical particles on a line with inverse-square mutual interaction potential is quantum superintegrable. We review the (nonlinear) algebra of the conserved quantum charges and the intertwiners which relate the Liouville charges at couplings g and g1. For integer values of g, these intertwiners give rise to additional conserved charges commuting with all Liouville charges and known since the 1990s. We give a direct construction of such a charge, the unique one being totally antisymmetric under particle permutations. It is of order 1 2n(n1)(2g1) in the momenta and squares to a polynomial in the Liouville charges. With a natural Z2 grading, this charge extends the algebra of conserved charges to a nonlinear supersymmetric one. We provide explicit expressions for intertwiners, charges and their algebra in the cases of two, three and four particles.
