Abstract

The rational Calogero model based on an arbitrary rank-nn Coxeter root system is spherically reduced to a superintegrable angular model of a particle moving on Sn1S^{n-1} subject to a very particular potential singular at the reflection hyperplanes. It is outlined how to find conserved charges and to construct intertwining operators. We deform these models in a PT{\cal PT}-symmetric manner by judicious complex coordinate transformations, which render the potential less singular. The PT{\cal PT} deformation does not change the energy eigenvalues but in some cases adds a previously unphysical tower of states. For integral couplings the new and old energy levels coincide, which roughly doubles the previous degeneracy and allows for a conserved nonlinear supersymmetry charge. We present the details for the generic rank-two (A2A_2, G2G_2) and all rank-three Coxeter systems (AD3AD_3, BC3BC_3 and H3H_3), including a reducible case (A13A_1^{\otimes 3}).
