Connected 2D supersymmetric systems to 1D QES systems with sextic potentials.

Abstract

The nonlinear $n$-supersymmetry with holomorphic supercharges is investigated for the 2D system describing the motion of a charged spin-1/2 particle in an external magnetic field. The universal algebraic structure underlying the holomorphic $n$-supersymmetry is found. It is shown that the essential difference of the 2D realization of the holomorphic $n$-supersymmetry from the 1D case recently analysed by us consists in appearance of the central charge entering non-trivially into the superalgebra. The relation of the 2D holomorphic $n$-supersymmetry to the 1D quasi-exactly solvable (QES) problems is demonstrated by means of the reduction of the systems with hyperbolic or trigonometric form of the magnetic field. The reduction of the $n$-supersymmetric system with the polynomial magnetic field results in the family of the one- dimensional QES systems with the sextic potential. Unlike the original 2D holomorphic supersymmetry, the reduced 1D supersymmetry associated with $x^6+...$ family is characterized by the non-holomorphic supercharges of the special form found by Aoyama et al.
