Discrete-time maximally superintegrable systems and deformed symmetry algebras: the Calogero-Moser case
arXiv:2601.10625 · doi:10.1016/j.physd.2026.135323
The paper analyzes the symmetry algebras of the N‑body Calogero‑Moser system and its discrete‑time maximally superintegrable version, showing that the discretization induces a nontrivial deformation of the continuous algebra with the time step acting as a deformation parameter.
Abstract
We determine the complete structure of the symmetry algebras associated with the N-body Calogero-Moser system and its maximally superintegrable discretization. We prove that the discretization naturally leads to a nontrivial deformation of the continuous symmetry algebra, with the discretization parameter playing the rôle of a deformation parameter. This phenomenon illustrates how discrete superintegrable systems can be viewed as natural sources of deformed polynomial algebraic structures. As a byproduct of these results, we also reveal a connection between the above-mentioned symmetry algebras and the Bell polynomials, as a consequence of the trace properties.
