The formalism of SUSYQM (SUperSYmmetric Quantum Mechanics) is properly modified in such a way to be suitable for the description and the solution of a classical maximally superintegrable Hamiltonian System, the so-called Taub-Nut system, associated with the Hamiltonian: $$ mathcal{H}_eta ({mathbf{q}}, {mathbf{p}}) = mathcal{T}_eta ({mathbf{q}}, {mathbf{p}}) + mathcal{U}_eta({mathbf{q}}) = frac{|{mathbf{q}}| {mathbf{p}}^2}{2m(eta + |{mathbf{q}}|)} - frac{k}{eta + |{mathbf{q}}|} quad (k>0, eta>0) , .$$ In full agreement with the results recently derived by A. Ballesteros et al. for the quantum case, we show that the classical Taub-Nut system shares a number of essential features with the Kepler system, that is just its Euclidean version arising in the limit $eta to 0$, and for which a SUSYQM approach has been recently introduced by S. Kuru and J. Negro. In particular, for positive $eta$ and negative energy the motion is always periodic; it turns out that the period depends upon $ eta$ and goes to the Euclidean value as $eta to 0$. Moreover, the maximal superintegrability is preserved by the $eta$-deformation, due to the existence of a larger symmetry group related to an $eta$-deformed Runge-Lenz vector, which ensures that in $mathbb{R}^3$ closed orbits are again ellipses. In this context, a deformed version of the third Keplers law is also recovered. The closing section is devoted to a discussion of the $eta<0$ case, where new and partly unexpected features arise.

In this paper, we construct a Spectrum Generating Algebra (SGA) for a quantum system with purely continuous spectrum: the quantum free particle in a Lobachevski space with constant negative curvature. The SGA contains the geometrical symmetry algebra of the system plus a subalgebra of operators that give the spectrum of the system and connects the eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian among themselves. In our case, the geometrical symmetry algebra is $frak{so}(3,1)$ and the SGA is $frak{so}(4,2)$. We start with a representation of $frak{so}(4,2)$ by functions on a realization of the Lobachevski space given by a two sheeted hyperboloid, where the Lie algebra commutators are the usual Poisson-Dirac brackets. Then, introduce a quantized version of the representation in which functions are replaced by operators on a Hilbert space and Poisson-Dirac brackets by commutators. Eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian are given and naive ladder operators are identified. The previously defined naive ladder operators shift the eigenvalues by a complex number so that an alternative approach is necessary. This is obtained by a non self-adjoint function of a linear combination of the ladder operators which gives the correct relation among the eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian. We give an eigenfunction expansion of functions over the upper sheet of two sheeted hyperboloid in terms of the eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian.
We construct the spectrum generating algebra (SGA) for a free particle in the three dimensional sphere $S^3$ for both, classical and quantum descriptions. In the classical approach, the SGA supplies time-dependent constants of motion that allow to solve algebraically the motion. In the quantum case, the SGA include the ladder operators that give the eigenstates of the free Hamiltonian. We study this quantum case from two equivalent points of view.
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we obtain the explicit exact formal solutions of differential equations of different types in the form with Dyson chronological operator exponents. This allows us to deal directly with the solutions to the equations rather than the equations themselves. Second, we consider in detail the algebraic properties of chronological operators, yielding an extensive family of operator identities. The main advantage of the approach is to handle the formal solutions at least as well as ordinary functions. We examine from a general standpoint linear and non-linear ODEs of any order, systems of ODEs, linear operator ODEs, linear PDEs and systems of linear PDEs for one unknown function. The methods and techniques involved are demonstrated on examples from important differential equations of mathematical physics.
In a recent paper (Beyer and Hennig, 2012 [9]), we have introduced a class of inhomogeneous cosmological models: the smooth Gowdy-symmetric generalized Taub-NUT solutions. Here we derive a three-parametric family of exact solutions within this class, which contains the two-parametric Taub solution as a special case. We also study properties of this solution. In particular, we show that for a special choice of the parameters, the spacetime contains a curvature singularity with directional behaviour that can be interpreted as a true spike in analogy to previously known Gowdy symmetric solutions with spatial T3-topology. For other parameter choices, the maximal globally hyperbolic region is singularity-free, but may contain false spikes.
The Feshbach-Villars equations, like the Klein-Gordon equation, are relativistic quantum mechanical equations for spin-$0$ particles. We write the Feshbach-Villars equations into an integral equation form and solve them by applying the Coulomb-Sturmian potential separable expansion method. We consider bound-state problems in a Coulomb plus short range potential. The corresponding Feshbach-Villars Coulomb Greens operator is represented by a matrix continued fraction.
