The Calogero Model: Integrable Structures and Orthogonal Basis

Abstract

Integrability, algebraic structures and orthogonal basis of the Calogero model are studied by the quantum Lax and Dunkl operator formulations. The commutator algebra among operators including conserved operators and creation-annihilation operators has the structure of the W-algebra. Through an algebraic construction of the simultaneous eigenfunctions of all the commuting conserved operators, we show that the Hi-Jack (hidden-Jack) polynomials, which are an multi-variable generalization of the Hermite polynomials, form the orthogonal basis.
