Higher Dimensional SUSY Quantum Mechanics

General non-commutative supersymmetric quantum mechanics models in two and three dimensions are constructed and some two and three dimensional examples are explicitly studied. The structure of the theory studied suggest other possible applications in physical systems with potentials involving spin and non-local interactions.

Starting with the Lagrangian formalism with N=2 supersymmetry in terms of two Grassmann variables in Classical Mechanics, the Dirac canonical quantization method is implemented. The N=2 supersymmetry algebra is associated to one-component and two-component eigenfunctions considered in the Schr\"odinger picture of Nonrelativistic Quantum Mechanics. Applications are contemplated.

In my talk I will present an overview of our recent work involving the use of supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY-QM). I begin by discussing the mathematical underpinnings of SUSY-QM and then discuss how we have used this for developing novel theoretical and numerical approaches suitable for studying molecular systems. I will conclude by discussing our attempt to extend SUSY-QM to multiple dimensions.

The new method based on the SUSY algebra with supercharges of higher order in derivatives is proposed to search for dynamical symmetry operators in 2-dim quantum and classical systems. These symmetry operators arise when closing the SUSY algebra for a wide set of potentials. In some cases they are of 2-nd order in derivatives. The particular solutions are obtained also for potentials accepting symmetry operators of 4-th order. The investigation of quasiclassical limit of the ...

Two known 2-dim SUSY quantum mechanical constructions - the direct generalization of SUSY with first-order supercharges and Higher order SUSY with second order supercharges - are combined for a class of 2-dim quantum models, which {\it are not amenable} to separation of variables. The appropriate classical limit of quantum systems allows us to construct SUSY-extensions of original classical scalar Hamiltonians. Special emphasis is placed on the symmetry properties of the mode...

Nonlinear SUSY approach to preparation of quantum systems with pre-planned spectral properties is reviewed. Possible multidimensional extensions of Nonlinear SUSY are described. The full classification of ladder-reducible and irreducible chains of SUSY algebras in one-dimensional QM is given. Emergence of hidden symmetries and spectrum generating algebras is elucidated in the context of Nonlinear SUSY in one- and two-dimensional QM.

The supersymmetric extensions of the Schr\"odinger algebra are reviewed.

It is shown that the Schrodinger symmetry algebra of a free particle in d spatial dimensions can be embedded into a representation of the higher-spin algebra. The latter spans an infinite dimensional algebra of higher-order symmetry generators of the free Schrodinger equation. An explicit representation of the maximal finite dimensional subalgebra of the higher spin algebra is given in terms of non-relativistic generators. We show also how to convert Vasiliev's equations into...

The superfield formulation of two - dimensional $N=4$ Extended Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics (SQM) is described. It is shown that corresponding classical Lagrangian describes the motion in the conformally flat metric with additional potential term. The Bose and Fermi sectors of two- and three-dimensional $N=4$ SQM are analyzed. The structure of the quantum Hamiltonians is such, that the usual Shr\"{o}dinger equation in the flat space arises after some unitary transformatio...

We give the classification of second-order polynomial SUSY Quantum Mechanics in one and two dimensions. The particular attention is paid to the irreducible supercharges which cannot be built by repetition of ordinary Darboux transformations. In two dimensions it is found that the binomial superalgebra leads to the dynamic symmetry generated by a central charge operator.
