Abstract: We investigate the general class of second-order PDEs, invariant under the

d = 1

e l l = f r a c 12 + {m a t h b b N}_{0}

centrally extended Conformal Galilei Algebras, pointing out that they are deformations of decoupled systems. For

e l l = f r a c 32

the unique deformation parameter

g a m m a

belongs to the fundamental domain

g a m m a i n] 0, + i n f t y [

. We show that, for any

g a m m a e q 0

, invariant PDEs with discrete spectrum (either bounded or unbounded) induce cryptohermitian operators possessing the same spectrum as two decoupled oscillators, provided that their frequencies are in the special ratio

r = f r a c o m e g a_{2} o m e g a_{1} = p m f r a c 13, p m 3

(the negative energy solutions correspond to a special case of Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator), where

o m e g a_{1}, o m e g a_{2}

are two different parameters of the invariant PDEs. We also consider the

g a m m a = 0

decoupled system for any value

r

of the ratio. It possesses enhanced symmetry at the critical values

r = p m f r a c 13, p m 1, p m 3

. Two inequivalent

12

-generator symmetry algebras are found at

r = p m f r a c 13, p m 3

and

r = p m 1

, respectively. The

e l l = f r a c 32

Conformal Galilei Algebra is not a subalgebra of the decoupled symmetry algebra. Its

g a m m a i g h t a r r o w 0

contraction corresponds to a

8

-generator subalgebra of the decoupled

r = p m f r a c 13, p m 3

symmetry algebra. The features of the

e l l g e q f r a c 52

invariant PDEs are briefly discussed.
