Abstract

The Dunkl-Coulomb system in the plane is considered. The model is defined in terms of the Dunkl Laplacian, which involves reflection operators, with a r1r^{-1} potential. The system is shown to be maximally superintegrable and exactly solvable. The spectrum of the Hamiltonian is derived algebraically using a realization of so(2,1)\mathfrak{so}(2,1) in terms of Dunkl operators. The symmetry operators generalizing the Runge-Lenz vector are constructed. On eigenspaces of fixed energy, the invariance algebra they generate is seen to correspond to a deformation of su(2)\mathfrak{su}(2) by reflections. The exact solutions are given as products of Laguerre polynomials and Dunkl harmonics on the circle.
