Hidden symmetry algebra and construction of quadratic algebras of superintegrable systems

Abstract

The notion of hidden symmetry algebra used in the context of exactly solvable systems is re-examined from the purely algebraic way, analyzing subspaces of commuting polynomials that generate finite-dimensional quadratic algebras. By construction, these algebras do not depend on the choice of realizations by vector fields of the underlying Lie algebra, allowing to propose a procedure to analyze polynomial algebras as those subspaces in an enveloping algebra that commute with a given algebraic Hamiltonian.
