Quantum SU$(2|1)$ supersymmetric $\mathbb{C}^N$ Smorodinsky--Winternitz system

Abstract

We study quantum properties of SU$(2|1)$ supersymmetric (deformed ${\cal N}=4$, $d=1$ supersymmetric) extension of the superintegrable Smorodinsky--Winternitz system on a complex Euclidian space $\mathbb{C}^N$. The full set of wave functions is constructed and the energy spectrum is calculated. It is shown that SU$(2|1)$ supersymmetry implies the bosonic and fermionic states to belong to separate energy levels, thus exhibiting the "even-odd" splitting of the spectra. The superextended hidden symmetry operators are also defined and their action on SU$(2|1)$ multiplets of the wave functions is given. An equivalent description of the same system in terms of superconformal SU$(2|1,1)$ quantum mechanics is considered and a new representation of the hidden symmetry generators in terms of the SU$(2|1,1)$ ones is found.
