The two-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator is modified with reflection terms associated with the action of the Coxeter group B2, which is the symmetry group of the square. The angular momentum operator is also modified with reflections. The wavefunctions are known to be built up from Jacobi and Laguerre polynomials. This paper introduces a fourth-order differential-difference operator commuting with the Hamiltonian but not with the angular momentum operator; a specific instance of superintegrability. The action of the operator on the usual orthogonal basis of wavefunctions is explicitly described. The wavefunctions are classified according to the representations of the group: four of degree one and one of degree two. The identity representation encompasses the wavefunctions invariant under the group. The paper begins with a short discussion of the modified Hamiltonians associated to finite reflection groups, and related raising and lowering operators. In particular, the Hamiltonian for the symmetric groups describes the Calogero-Sutherland model of identical particles on the line with harmonic confinement.

In this note, we prove an optimal upper bound for the first Dirac eigenvalue of some hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space by combining a positive mass theorem and the construction of quasi-spherical metrics. As a direct consequence of this estimate, we obtain an asymptotic expansion for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on large spheres in three-dimensional asymptotically flat manifolds. We also study this expansion for small geodesic spheres in a three-dimensional Riemannian manifold. We finally discuss how this method can be adapted to yield similar results in the hyperbolic space.

In this paper we revisit the subject of stationary flows of Lax hierarchies of a coupled KdV class. We explain the main ideas in the standard KdV case and then consider the dispersive water waves (DWW) case, with respectively 2 and 3 Hamiltonian representations. Each Hamiltonian representation gives us a different form of stationary flow. Comparing these, we construct Poisson maps, which, being non-canonical, give rise to bi-Hamiltonian representations of the stationary flows. An alternative approach is to use the Miura maps, which we do in the case of the DWW hierarchy, which has two ''modifications''. This structure gives us 3 sequences of Poisson related stationary flows. We use the Poisson maps to build a tri-Hamiltonian representation of each of the three stationary hierarchies. One of the Hamiltonian representations allows a multi-component squared eigenfunction expansion, which gives N degrees of freedom Hamiltonians, with first integrals. A Lax representation for each of the stationary flows is derived from the coupled KdV matrices. In the case of 3 degrees of freedom, we give a generalisation of our Lax matrices and Hamiltonian functions, which allows a connection with the rational Calogero-Moser (CM) system. This gives a coupling of the CM system with other potentials, along with a Lax representation. We present the particular case of coupling one of the integrable Hénon-Heiles systems to CM.

We show that the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick 2N-fermion model is a particular case of one-spin Gaudin-type model in an external magnetic field corresponding to a limiting case of non-skew-symmetric elliptic r-matrix and to an external magnetic field directed along one axis. We propose an exactly-solvable generalization of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick fermion model based on the Gaudin-type model corresponding to the same r-matrix but arbitrary external magnetic field. This model coincides with the quantization of the classical Zhukovsky-Volterra gyrostat. We diagonalize the corresponding quantum Hamiltonian by means of the modified algebraic Bethe ansatz. We explicitly solve the corresponding Bethe-type equations for the case of small fermion number N=1,2.

We consider the matrix spherical function related to the compact symmetric pair $(G,K)=(mathrm{SU}(n+m),mathrm{S}(mathrm{U}(n)timesmathrm{U}(m)))$. The irreducible $K$ representations $(pi,V)$ in the ${rm U}(n)$ part are considered and the induced representation $mathrm{Ind}_K^Gpi$ splits multiplicity free. In this case, the irreducible $K$ representations in the ${rm U}(n)$ part are studied. The corresponding spherical functions can be approximated in terms of the simpler matrix-valued functions. We can determine the explicit spherical functions using the action of a differential operator. We consider several cases of irreducible $K$ representations and the orthogonality relations are also described.

We give a geometric condition on a meromorphic affine connection for its Killing vector fields to be single valued. More precisely, this condition relies on the pole of the connection and its geodesics, and defines a subcategory. To this end, we use the equivalence between these objects and meromorphic affine Cartan geometries. The proof of the previous result is then a consequence of a more general result linking the distinguished curves of meromorphic Cartan geometries, their poles and their infinitesimal automorphisms, which is the main purpose of the paper. This enables to extend the classification result from [Biswas I., Dumitrescu S., McKay B., Epijournal Geom. Algebrique 3 (2019), 19, 10 pages, arXiv:1804.08949] to the subcategory of meromorphic affine connection described before.

. We present three explicit curious simple examples in the theory of dynamical systems. The first one is an example of two analytic diffeomorphisms R , S of a closed two-dimensional annulus that possess the intersection property but their composition RS does not ( R being just the rotation by π/ 2). The second example is that of a non-Lagrangian n -torus L 0 in the cotangent bundle T ∗ T n of T n ( n ≥ 2) such that L 0 intersects neither its images under almost all the rotations of T ∗ T n nor the zero section of T ∗ T n . The third example is that of two one-parameter families of analytic reversible autonomous ordinary differential equations of the form ˙ x = f ( x, y ), ˙ y = µg ( x, y ) in the closed upper half-plane { y ≥ 0 } such that the corresponding phase portraits for 0 < µ < 1 and for µ > 1 are topologically non-equivalent. The first two examples are expounded within the general context of symplectic topology.

We present a reciprocal transformation which links the Geng-Xue equation to a particular reduction of the first negative flow of the Boussinesq hierarchy. We discuss two reductions of the reciprocal transformation for the Degasperis-Procesi and Novikov equations, respectively. With the aid of the Darboux transformation and the reciprocal transformation, we obtain a compact parametric representation for the smooth soliton solutions such as multi-kink solutions of the Geng-Xue equation.
