Abstract

We review some aspects of the Racah algebra $R(n)$, including the closure relations, pointing out their role in superintegrability, as well as in the description of the symmetry algebra for several models with coalgebra symmetry. The connection includes the generic model on the $(n-1)$ sphere. We discuss an algebraic scheme of constructing Hamiltonians, integrals of the motion and symmetry algebras. This scheme reduces to the Racah algebra $R(n)$ and the model on the $(n-1)$ sphere only for the case of specific differential operator realizations. We review the method, which allows us to obtain the commutant defined in the enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}(n)$ in the classical setting. The related $\mathcal{A}_3$ polynomial algebra is presented for the case $\mathfrak{sl}(3)$. An explicit construction of the quantization of the scheme for $\mathcal{A}_3$ by symmetrization of the polynomial and the replacement of the Berezin bracket by commutator and symmetrization of the polynomial relations is presented. We obtain the additional quantum terms. These explicit relations are of interest not only for superintegrability, but also for other applications in mathematical physics.
