Integrable and superintegrable extensions of the rational Calogero–Moser model in three dimensions

Abstract

Abstract We consider a class of Hamiltonian systems in 3 degrees of freedom, with a particular type of quadratic integral and which includes the rational Calogero–Moser system as a particular case. For the general class, we introduce separation coordinates to find the general separable (and therefore Liouville integrable) system, with two quadratic integrals. This gives a coupling of the Calogero–Moser system with a large class of potentials, generalising the series of potentials which are separable in parabolic coordinates. Particular cases are superintegrable, including Kepler and a resonant oscillator. The initial calculations of the paper are concerned with the flat (Cartesian type) kinetic energy, but in section 5, we introduce a conformal factor φ to H and extend the two quadratic integrals to this case. All the previous results are generalised to this case. We then introduce some two and three dimensional symmetry algebras of the Kinetic energy (Killing vectors), which restrict the conformal factor. This enables us to reduce our systems from 3 to 2 degrees of freedom, giving rise to many interesting systems, including both Kepler type and Hénon–Heiles type potentials on a Darboux–Koenigs D 2 background.
