Superintegrable systems from block separation of variables and unified derivation of their quadratic algebras

We present a new method for constructing $D$-dimensional minimally superintegrable systems based on block coordinate separation of variables. We give two new families of superintegrable systems with $N$ ($N\leq D$) singular terms of the partitioned coordinates and involving arbitrary functions. These Hamiltonians generalize the singular oscillator and Kepler systems. We derive their exact energy spectra via separation of variables. We also obtain the quadratic algebras satisfied by the integrals of motion of these models. We show how the quadratic symmetry algebras can be constructed by novel application of the gauge transformations from those of the non-partitioned cases. We demonstrate that these quadratic algebraic structures display an universal nature to the extent that their forms are independent of the functions in the singular potentials.
