Dirac Equation on the Torus and Rationally Extended Trigonometric Potentials within Supersymmetric QM by Özlem Yeşiltaş

“…Supersymmetric quantum mechanics techniques are used to get the extended potentials when the inner and outer radii of the torus are both equal and inequal. In addition, using the aspects of the Lie algebraic approaches, the iso(2,1) algebra is also applied to the system where we have arrived at the spectrum solutions of the extended potentials using the Casimir operator that matches with the results of the exact solutions.…”

The Characterization of the Variational Minimizers for Spatial Restricted N+1-Body Problems by Fengying Li, Shiqing Zhang, Xiaoxiao Zhao

“…We use Jacobi's necessary condition for the variational minimizer to study the periodic solution for spatial restricted N+1-body problems with a zero mass on the vertical axis of the plane for N equal masses. We prove that the minimizer of the Lagrangian action on the anti-T/2 or odd symmetric loop space must be a nonconstant periodic solution for any 2≤N≤472; hence the zero mass must oscillate, so that it cannot be always in the same plane with the other bodies. …”
