dynamical potential algebras for gendenshtein and morse potentials a differential realization of so 2 1 is shown to be the potential algebra for the one dimensional systems with the morse or gendenshtein potentials this shows that two classes of gendenshtein potentials will support the same eigenvalues as the morse potential and that the three sets of eigenfunctions may be derived in a common formalism the potential algebra is then extended to a dynamical potential algebra with operators connecting states both in different potentials and with different energies giving new dynamical algebras for the gendenshtein problem the matrix elements of certain corresponding operators in the three types of system may then be given by a single formula involving so 2 1 wigner coefficients the authors also give ladder operators connecting the gendenshtein potential eigenstates

some dichotomy results for central gaussian convolution semigroups on compact groups consider a central gaussian convolution semigroup t t 0 on a connected compact semisimple group then either the measure t is singular with respect to haar measure for all t 0 or there exists a time t such that t is absolutely continuous with respect to haar measure and admits a continuous density

algebra representations on eigenfunctions of the rosen morse potential the bound state eigenfunctions of the rosen morse n rosen and p m morse phys rev 42 210 1932 potential are investigated using ladder operators that give a representation of the algebra a1 the representations are generally infinite dimensional and indecomposable the representation space containing unbounded functions as well as the normalizable eigenfunctions operators giving eigenfunctions of a potential with different strength are also found giving a representation of d2 the a1 or su2 representations are identified in terms of a classification proposed by sannikov s s sannikov yad fiz 6 1294 1967 sov j nucl phys 6 939 1968 and the connection with representations obtained by gruber and klimyk b gruber and a u klimyk j math phys 19 2009 1978 25 755 1984 is given the evaluation of matrix elements is considered

a lie algebraic approach to effective mass schrodinger equations we use lie algebraic techniques to obtain exact solutions of the effective mass schrodinger equation in particular we use the su 1 1 algebra both as a spectrum generating algebra and as a potential algebra to obtain exact solutions of effective mass schrodinger equations corresponding to a number of potentials we also discuss the construction of isospectral hamiltonians for which both the mass and the potential are different

spaces of smooth functions and distributions on infinite dimensional compact groups abstract several scales of smooth functions are introduced in the setting of connected infinite dimensional compact groups these are spaces of functions on the group with continuous derivatives in certain directions we study properties of these spaces and of associated distribution spaces some of these spaces are intrinsically associated with the infinitesimal generator of a given gaussian convolution semigroup one of the reasons for studying these smooth function and distribution spaces is to obtain sharp results concerning the hypoellipticity of the infinitesimal generators of gaussian convolution semigroups i e invariant sub laplacians on compact groups

on the nonlinear fock description of quantum systems with quadratic spectra the nonlinear version of the fock approach developed previously for systems with extended equidistant spectra eleonsky v m and korolev v g 1995 j phys a math gen 28 4973 is also shown to describe systems with quadratic spectra some general properties of shift operators for such spectra are studied it is found in particular that families of shift operators related to the generators of the algebra su 1 1 as well as supersymmetry ladder operators arise naturally in that approach in a unified way
