Title:On rotationally invariant integrable and superintegrable classical systems in magnetic fields with non-subgroup type integrals
View PDFAbstract:The aim of the present article is to construct quadratically integrable three dimensional systems in non-vanishing magnetic fields which possess so-called non-subgroup type integrals. The presence of such integrals means that the system possesses a pair of integrals of motion in involution which are (at most) quadratic in momenta and whose leading order terms, that are necessarily elements of the enveloping algebra of the Euclidean algebra, are not quadratic Casimir operators of a chain of its subalgebras. By imposing in addition that one of the integrals has the leading order term $L_z^2$ we can consider three such commuting pairs: circular parabolic, oblate spheroidal and prolate spheroidal. We find all possible integrable systems possessing such structure of commuting integrals and describe their Hamiltonians and their integrals.
We show that our assumptions imply the existence of a first order integral $L_z $, i.e. rotational invariance, of all such systems. As a consequence, the Hamilton--Jacobi equation of each of these systems with magnetic field separates in the corresponding coordinate system, as it is known to be the case for all quadratically integrable systems without magnetic field, and in contrast with the subgroup type, i.e. Cartesian, spherical and cylindrical, cases, with magnetic fields.
We also look for superintegrable systems within the circular parabolic integrable class. Assuming the additional integral to be first order we demonstrate that only previously known systems exist. However, for a particular second order ansatz for the sought integral ($L^2+\ldots$) we find a minimally quadratically superintegrable system. It is not quadratically maximally superintegrable but appears to possess bounded closed trajectories, hinting at hypothetical higher order superintegrability.
