Given a dynamical system with m independent conserved quantities, we construct a multiparameter family of new systems in which these quantities evolve monotonically and proportionally, and are replaced by m-1 conserved linear combinations of themselves, with any of the original quantities as limiting cases. The modification of the dynamics employs an exterior product of gradients of the original quantities, and often evolves the system toward asymptotic linear dependence of these gradients in a nontrivial state. The process both generalizes and provides additional structure to existing techniques for selective dissipation in the literature on fluids and plasmas, nonequilibrium thermodynamics, and nonlinear controls.

The classical Kepler problem, as well as its quantum mechanical version, the hydrogen atom, enjoys a well-known hidden symmetry, the conservation of the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector, which makes these problems superintegrable. Is there a relativistic quantum field theory extension that preserves this symmetry? In this Letter we show that the answer is positive: in the nonrelativistic limit, we identify the dual conformal symmetry of planar N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory with the well-known symmetries of the hydrogen atom. We point out that the dual conformal symmetry offers a novel way to compute the spectrum of bound states of massive W bosons in the theory.

Generalized Lenard chains, separation of variables, and superintegrability.

We show that the notion of generalized Lenard chains naturally allows formulation of the theory of multiseparable and superintegrable systems in the context of bi-Hamiltonian geometry. We prove that the existence of generalized Lenard chains generated by a Hamiltonian function defined on a four-dimensional ωN manifold guarantees the separation of variables. As an application, we construct such chains for the Hénon-Heiles systems and for the classical Smorodinsky-Winternitz systems.

Reduction of superintegrable systems: the anisotropic harmonic oscillator.

Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys

October 2008

Departamento de Física Teórica II, Facultad de Físicas, Universidad Complutense, 28040 Madrid, Spain.

We introduce a 2N-parametric family of maximally superintegrable systems in N dimensions, obtained as a reduction of an anisotropic harmonic oscillator in a 2N-dimensional configuration space. These systems possess closed bounded orbits and integrals of motion which are polynomial in the momenta. They generalize known examples of superintegrable models in the Euclidean plane.
