We extend the investigation of three-dimensional Hamiltonian systems of non-subgroup type admitting non-zero magnetic fields and an axial symmetry, namely the circular parabolic case, the oblate spheroidal case and the prolate spheroidal case. More precisely, we focus on linear and some special cases of quadratic superintegrability. In the linear case, no new superintegrable system arises. In the quadratic case, we found one new minimally superintegrable system that lies at the intersection of the circular parabolic and cylindrical cases and another one at the intersection of the cylindrical, spherical, oblate spheroidal and prolate spheroidal cases. By imposing additional conditions on these systems, we found for each quadratically minimally superintegrable system a new infinite family of higher-order maximally superintegrable systems. These two systems are linked respectively with the caged and harmonic oscillators without magnetic fields through a time-dependent canonical transformation.
While looking for additional integrals of motion of several minimally superintegrable systems in static electric and magnetic fields, we have realized that in some cases Lie point symmetries of Euler-Lagrange equations imply existence of explicitly time-dependent integrals of motion through Noether's theorem. These integrals can be combined to get an additional time-independent integral for some values of the parameters of the considered systems, thus implying maximal superintegrability. Even for values of the parameters for which the systems don't exhibit maximal superintegrability in the usual sense they allow a completely algebraic determination of the trajectories (including their time dependence).
We present a general method simplifying the search for additional integrals of motion of three dimensional systems with magnetic fields. The method is suitable for systems possessing at least one conserved canonical momentum in a suitable coordinates system. It reduces the problem either to consideration of lower dimensional systems or of particular constrained forms of the hypothetical integral. In particular, it is applicable to all separable systems in the Euclidean space since they are known to possess at least one cyclic coordinates when magnetic field is present.Next, we focus on systems which separate in the cylindrical coordinates. Using our method, we are able to classify all superintegrable systems of this kind under the assumption that all considered integrals are at most second order in the momenta. In addition to already known systems, several new minimally superintegrable systems are found and we show that no quadratically maximally superintegrable ones can exist. We also construct some examples of systems with higher order integrals.
This article is a contribution to the study of superintegrable Hamiltonian systems with magnetic fields on the three-dimensional Euclidean space E3 in quantum mechanics. In contrast to the growing interest in complex electromagnetic fields in the mathematical community following the experimental confirmation of its physical relevance [Peng et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 010601 (2015)], they were so far not addressed in the growing literature on superintegrability. Here, we venture into this field by searching for additional first-order integrals of motion to the integrable systems of cylindrical type. We find that already known systems can be extended into this realm by admitting complex coupling constants. In addition to them, we find one new system whose integrals of motion also feature complex constants. All these systems are multiseparable. Rigorous mathematical analysis of these systems is challenging due to the non-Hermitian setting and lost gauge invariance. We proceed formally and pose the resolution of these problems as an open challenge.
