A fourth-order superintegrable system with a rational potential related to Painleve VI

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate in detail a superintegrable extension of the singular harmonic oscillator whose wave functions can be expressed in terms of exceptional Jacobi polynomials. We show that this Hamiltonian admits a fourth-order integral of motion and use the classification of such systems to show that the potential gives a rational solution associated with the sixth Painlevé equation. Additionally, we show that the integrals of the motion close to form a cubic algebra and describe briefly deformed oscillator representations of this algebra.
