Abstract

We discuss a family of Hamiltonians given by particular rational extensions of the singular oscillator in two-dimensions. The wave functions of these Hamiltonians can be expressed in terms of products of Laguerre and exceptional Jacobi polynomials. We show that these systems are superintegrable and admit an integral of motion that is of fourth-order. As such systems have been classified, we see that these potential satisfy a non-linear equation related to Painlev\'e VI. We begin by demonstrating the process with the simpler example of rational extensions of the harmonic oscillator and use the classification of third-order superintegrable systems to connect these families with the known solutions of Painlev\'e IV associated with Hermite polynomials.
