Generalized Kepler problems. I: Without magnetic charges

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For each simple euclidean Jordan algebra V of rank ho and degree delta, we introduce a family of classical dynamic problems. These dynamical problems all share the characteristic features of the Kepler problem for planetary motions, such as existence of Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector and hidden symmetry. After suitable quantizations, a family of quantum dynamic problems, parametrized by the nontrivial Wallach parameter u, is obtained. Here, uinmathcalW(V):=kdeltaover2midk=1,...,(ho−1)cup((ho−1)deltaover2,infty) and was introduced by N. Wallach to parametrize the set of nontrivial scalar-type unitary lowest weight representations of the conformal group of V. For the quantum dynamic problem labelled by u, the bound state spectra is −1/2over(I+uhoover2)2, I=0, 1, ... and its Hilbert space of bound states gives a new realization for the afore-mentioned representation labelled by u. A few results in the literature about these representations become more explicit and more refined. The Lagrangian for a classical Kepler-type dynamic problem introduced here is still of the simple form: 1over2||dotx||2+1overr. Here, dotx is the velocity of a unit-mass particle moving on the space consisting of V's semi-positive elements of a fixed rank, and r is the inner product of x with the identity element of V.
