Higher-order supersymmetric quantum mechanics

چکیده
We review the higher-order supersymmetric quantum mechanics (H-SUSY QM), which involves differential intertwining operators of order greater than one. The iterations of first-order SUSY transformations are used to derive in a simple way the higher-order case. The second order technique is addressed directly, and through this approach unexpected possibilities for designing spectra are uncovered. The formalism is applied to the harmonic oscillator: the corresponding H-SUSY partner Hamiltonians are ruled by polynomial Heisenberg algebras which allow a straight construction of the coherent states.

Cλ-Extended Oscillator Algebras: Theory and Applications to (Variants of) Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
Cλ-extended oscillator algebras, where Cλ is the cyclic group of order λ, are introduced and realized as generalized deformed oscillator algebras. For λ = 2, they reduce to the well-known Calogero–Vasiliev algebra. For higher λ values, they are shown to provide in their bosonic Fock space representation some interesting applications to supersymmetric quantum mechanics and some variants thereof:...
متن کاملHigher - Derivative Supersymmetry and the Witten Index 1
We propose higher-derivative generalization of the supersymmetric quantum mechanics. It is formally based on the standard superalgebra but supercharges involve differential operators of the order n. As a result, their anticommutator entails polynomial of a Hamiltonian. The Witten index does not characterize spontaneous SUSY breaking in such models. The construction naturally arises after trunca...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Quantum Mechanics and Painlevé IV Equation
As it has been proven, the determination of general one-dimensional Schrödinger Hamiltonians having third-order differential ladder operators requires to solve the Painlevé IV equation. In this work, it will be shown that some specific subsets of the higher-order supersymmetric partners of the harmonic oscillator possess third-order differential ladder operators. This allows us to introduce a s...

The supersymmetric quantum mechanical model based on higher-derivative supercharge operators possessing unbroken supersymmetry and discrete energies below the vacuum state energy is described. As an example harmonic oscillator potential is considered 1.

متن کاملOn Two Approaches to Fractional Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
Two complementary approaches ofN = 2 fractional supersymmetric quantum mechanics of order k are studied in this article. The first one, based on a generalized Weyl-Heisenberg algebra Wk (that comprizes the affine quantum algebra Uq(sl2) with q k = 1 as a special case), apparently contains solely one bosonic degree of freedom. The second one uses generalized bosonic and kfermionic degrees of fre...
