ℓ{\ell}-oscillators from second-order invariant PDEs of the centrally extended Conformal Galilei Algebras

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We construct, for any given ℓ=12+N0{\ell}=\frac{1}{2}+{\mathbb{N}}_0, the second-order, linear PDEs which are invariant under the centrally extended Conformal Galilei Algebra. \par At the given ℓ{\ell}, two invariant equations in one time and ℓ+12{\ell}+\frac{1}{2} space coordinates are obtained. The first equation possesses a continuum spectrum and generalizes the free Schrödinger equation (recovered for ℓ=12{\ell}=\frac{1}{2}) in 1+11+1 dimension. The second equation (the "ℓ\ell-oscillator") possesses a discrete, positive spectrum. It generalizes the 1+11+1-dimensional harmonic oscillator (recovered for ℓ=12\ell=\frac{1}{2}). The spectrum of the ℓ{\ell}-oscillator, derived from a specific osp(1∣2ℓ+1)osp(1|2\ell+1) h.w.r., is explicitly presented.\par The two sets of invariant PDEs are determined by imposing (representation-dependent) {\it on-shell invariant conditions} both for {\it degree} 11 operators (those with continuum spectrum) and for {\it degree } 00 operators (those with discrete spectrum).\par The on-shell condition is better understood by enlarging the Conformal Galilei Algebras with the addition of certain second-order differential operators. Two compatible structures (the algebra/superalgebra duality) are defined for the enlarged set of operators.
