Abstract: Let $P(N,V)$ denote the vector space of polynomials of maximal degree less than or equal to $N$ in $V$ independent variables. This space is preserved by the enveloping algebra generated by a set of linear, differential operators representing the Lie algebra $gl(V+1)$. We establish the counterpart of this property for the vector space $P(M,V)oplusP(N,V)$ for any values of the integers $M,N,V$. We show that the operators preserving $P(M,V)oplusP(N,V)$ generate an abstract superalgebra (non linear if $Delta=midM-Nmidgeq2$). A family of algebras is also constructed, extending this particular algebra by $Delta-1$ arbitrary complex parameters.

Review text

The paper concerns the algebraic aspects of the theory of the so called quasiexactly solvable equations. Let \(P(N,V)\) denote the linear space of polynomials of degree less than or equal to \(N\) in \(V\) independent variables. The matrix differential operators leaving the space \(P(N,V)\oplus P(M,V)\) invariant are classified. The set of underlying abstract associative algebras is constructed. They appear to be parametrized by \(V\), \(\Delta \equiv| N-M|\) and \(\Delta-1\) arbitrary complex parameters. In this way a class of abstract algebras is obtained which describe hidden symmetries of quasiexactly solvable systems. As a next step the representations of these algebras should be considered. Once all representations are constructed in terms of matrix differential operators, one obtains all quasiexactly systems with a given symmetry structure.
