Superintegrability, exact solvability and canonical transformations
August 17th to 28th

A superintegrable system is a classical or quantum system that has more integrals of motion than degrees of freedom. An exactly solvable quantum system is one for which the energy spectrum can be calculated algebraically and the wave functions are polynomials in the appropriate variables, multiplied by some overall gauge factor. Integrable and superintegrable systems with integrals that are polynomials in the momenta can be characterized by the highest order of these polynomials (not counting the Hamiltonian). First order integrals are related to Lie groups of point transformations (geometric symmetries). Higher order ones involve generalized symmetries and canonical transformations. Second order integrals are related to the separation of variables in the Hamilton-Jacobi and Schroedinger equations. Recently there has been significant progress in the study of k-th order superintegrability (for arbitrary integer k). The aim of the gathering is to explore the avenues opened by these recent developments and the relation between superintegrability, exact solvability and canonical transformations.
