Abstract

Let n2n\ge 2 be an integer. To each irreducible representation σ\sigma of O(1)\mathrm O(1), an O(1)\mathrm {O}(1)-Kepler problem in dimension nn is constructed and analyzed. This system is super integrable and when n=2n=2 it is equivalent to a generalized MICZ-Kepler problem in dimension two. The dynamical symmetry group of this system is Sp~2n(R)\widetilde {\mathrm{Sp}}_{2n}(\mathbb R) with the Hilbert space of bound states H(σ){\mathscr H}(\sigma) being the unitary highest weight representation of Sp~2n(R)\widetilde {\mathrm{Sp}}_{2n}(\mathbb R) with highest weight (1/2,...,1/2n1,(1/2+σ)),(\underbrace{-1/2, ..., -1/2}_{n-1}, -(1/2+|\sigma|)), which occurs at the right-most nontrivial reduction point in the Enright-Howe-Wallach classification diagram for the unitary highest weight modules. (Here σ=0|\sigma|=0 or 1 depending on whether σ\sigma is trivial or not.) Furthermore, it is shown that the correspondence σH(σ)\sigma\leftrightarrow \mathscr H(\sigma) is the theta-correspondence for dual pair (O(1),Sp2n(R))Sp2n(R)(\mathrm{O}(1), \mathrm{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb R))\subseteq \mathrm{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb R).
