Algebraic structure underlying spherical, parabolic and prolate spheroidal bases of the nine-dimensional MICZ-Kepler problem

Abstract: The nonrelativistic motion of a charged particle around a dyon in (9+1) spacetime is known as the nine-dimensional MICZ-Kepler problem. This problem has been solved exactly by the variables-separation method in three different coordinate systems, spherical, parabolic, and prolate spheroidal. In the present study, we establish a relationship between the variable separation and the algebraic structure of SO(10) symmetry. Each of the spherical, parabolic, or prolate spheroidal bases is proved to be a set of eigenfunctions of a corresponding nonuplet of algebraically-independent integrals of motion. This finding also helps us establish connections between the bases by the algebraic method. This connection, in turn, allows calculating complicated integrals of confluent Heun, generalized Laguerre, and generalized Jacobi polynomials, which are important in physics and analytics.
