We investigate the properties of multidimensional parity-time symmetric periodic systems whose non-Hermitian periodicity is an integer multiple of the underlying Hermitian system's periodicity. This creates a natural set of degeneracies…

We lay out the foundations of the theory of second-order conformal superintegrable systems. Such systems are essentially Laplace equations on a manifold with an added potential: $(\Delta_n+V({\bf x}))\Psi=0$. Distinct families of…
We show that the complex $\cal PT$-symmetric periodic potential $V(x) = - ({\rm i} \xi \sin 2x + N)^2$, where $\xi$ is real and $N$ is a positive integer, is quasi-exactly solvable. For odd values of $N \ge 3$, it may lead to exceptional…

The appearances of complex eigenvalues in the spectra of PT-symmetric quantum-mechanical systems are usually associated with a spontaneous breaking of PT. In this letter we discuss a family of models for which this phenomenon is also linked…

Using the analytical expressions for the genuine eigenfunctions $\varphi_{\mu\nu}(z)$ and eigenvalues $E_{\mu,\nu}$, of open, bounded and quasi-bounded finite periodic systems, we derive the eigenfunctions space-inversion symmetry…
The new phenomenon of symbiotic symmetries is described in the context of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (THDM). The quartic potential has two or more separate sectors with unequal symmetries, but these unequal symmetries persist even though…
We introduce two-parameter classes of exactly-solvable novel systems whose Hamiltonian operators could be represented by tridiagonal symmetric matrices in some orthogonal bases. The associated wavefunction is written as point-wise…
This paper concerns the existence of multiple rotating quasi-periodic solutions for second order Hamiltonian systems with sub-quadratic potential. Such solutions have the form $x(t+T)=Qx(t)$ for some orthogonal matrix $Q$. To deal with such…
A relation between classical electrostatic fields and Schr\"odinger-like Hamiltonians is evidenced. Hence, supersymmetric quantum potentials analogous to classical electrostatic fields can be constructed. Proposing an ansatz for the…
We show that several well-known one-dimensional quantum systems possess a hidden nonlocal supersymmetry. The simplest example is the open XXZ spin chain with \Delta=-1/2. We use the supersymmetry to place lower bounds on the ground state…
This paper demonstrates that complex PT-symmetric periodic potentials possess real band spectra. However, there are significant qualitative differences in the band structure for these potentials when compared with conventional real periodic…
We study certain symmetric polynomials, which as very special cases include polynomials related to the supersymmetric eight-vertex model, and other elliptic lattice models with $\Delta=\pm 1/2$. In this paper, which is the first part of a…
In this work, we study a continuous quantum system of a mixture of bosons and fermions with the supersymmetry SU(m|n). The particles are confined in a harmonic well and interact with each other through the 1/r2 interaction. The ground state…
