Abstract

For each integer n1n\ge 1, we demonstrate that a (2n+1)(2n+1)-dimensional generalized MICZ-Kepler problem has an \mrSpin(2,2n+2)\mr{Spin}(2, 2n+2) dynamical symmetry which extends the manifest \mrSpin(2n+1)\mr{Spin}(2n+1) symmetry. The Hilbert space of bound states is shown to form a unitary highest weight \mrSpin(2,2n+2)\mr{Spin}(2, 2n+2)-module which occurs at the first reduction point in the Enright-Howe-Wallach classification diagram for the unitary highest weight modules. As a byproduct, we get a simple geometric realization for such a unitary highest weight \mrSpin(2,2n+2)\mr{Spin}(2, 2n+2)-module.
