Abstract. We study integrals of completely integrable quantum systems associated with
classical root systems. We review integrals of the systems invariant under the corresponding
Weyl group and as their limits we construct enough integrals of the non-invariant systems,
which include systems whose complete integrability will be first established in this paper.
We also present a conjecture claiming that the quantum systems with enough integrals given
in this note coincide with the systems that have the integrals with constant principal symbols
corresponding to the homogeneous generators of the Bn-invariants. We review conditions
supporting the conjecture and give a new condition assuring it.

appearing in other papers. The Schrödinger operators with these commuting differential oper-
ators treated in this paper include Calogero–Moser–Sutherland systems (cf. [5, 22, 27, 28, 36]),
Heckman–Opdam’s hypergeometric systems (cf. [34] for type An−1, [11] in general), their exten-
sions (cf. [1, 8, 14, 23, 24, 25, 30]) and finite Toda lattices corresponding to (extended) Dynkin
diagrams for classical root systems (cf. [2, 9, 10, 17, 26, 33, 38]) and those with boundary
conditions (cf. [8, 13, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 30]).
Put ∂j = ∂/∂xj for simplicity. We denote by σ(Q) the principal symbol of a differential
operator of Q. For example, σ(P ) = −(1/2)(ξ21 + · · ·+ ξ2n).
We note that [40] proves that the potential function is of the form (1.3) if
σ(Pk) =
∑
1≤j1<···<jk≤n
ξ2j1 · · · ξ
2
jk
for k = 1, . . . , n. (1.4)
In this case we say that R(x) is an integrable potential function of type Bn or of the classical type.
Moreover whenR(x) is symmetric with respect to the coordinate (x1, . . . , xn) and invariant under
the coordinate transformation (x1, x2, . . . , xn) 7→ (−x1, x2, . . . , xn), then R(x) is determined
by [32] for n ≥ 3 and by [24] for n = 2 and Pk are calculated by [29].
Classifications of the integrable potential functions under certain conditions are given in
[23, 24, 25, 30, 37, 40] etc. In Section 9 we review them and we present Conjecture which claims
that the potential functions given in this note exhaust those of the completely integrable systems
satisfying (1.4). We also give a new condition which assures Conjecture.
If vk = 0 for k = 1, . . . , n, we can expect σ(Pk) =
∑
1≤j1<···<jk≤n
ξ2j1 · · · ξ
2
jk
for k = 1, . . . , n− 1
and σ(Pn) = ξ1ξ2 · · · ξn and we say the integrable potential function is of type Dn. If vk = 0
and u+
ij = 0 for k = 1, . . . , n and 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n, we can expect P1 = ∂1 + · · · + ∂n, σ(Pk) =∑
1≤j1<···<jk≤n
ξj1 · · · ξjk
for k = 2, . . . , n and we say that the integrable potential function is of
type An−1. Note that the integrable potential function of type An−1 or Dn is of type Bn.
The elliptic potential function of type An−1 with
u−ij(t) = C℘(t; 2ω1, 2ω2) + C ′, u+
ij(t) = vk(t) = 0 (C, C ′ ∈ C)
(cf. [28]) and that of type Bn with
u−ij(t) = v+
ij(t) = A℘(t; 2ω1, 2ω2),
vk(t) =

, (A, Ci, C ∈ C)
introduced by [12] are most fundamental and their integrability and the integrals of higher order
are established by [25, 29, 32]. Here ℘(t; 2ω1, 2ω2) is the Weierstrass elliptic function whose
fundamental periods are 2ω1 and 2ω2 and
ω0 = 0, ω1 + ω2 + ω3 = 0.
Other potential functions are suitable limits of these elliptic potential functions, which is
shown in [8, 13, 33] etc. We will study integrable systems by taking analytic continuations of
the integrals given in [25] with respect to a suitable parameter, which is done for the invariant
systems (of type An−1) by [32] and (of types Bn andDn) by [29] and for the systems of type An−1
by [33]. The main purpose of this note is to give the explicit expression of the operators
P1, . . . , Pn in (1.2) in this unified way. Namely we construct enough commuting integrals of
the non-invariant systems from those of the invariant systems given by [24, 29, 32]. Such study
of the systems of types An−1, B2, Bn (n ≥ 3) and Dn are explained in Sections 3, 4, 5, 6,
respectively.
Completely Integrable Systems Associated with Classical Root Systems 3
Since the integrals of the system of type An−1 are much simpler than those of type Bn, we
review the above analytic continuation for the systems of type An−1 in Section 3 preceding to
the study for the systems of type Bn. There are many series of completely integrable systems
of type B2, which we review and classify in Section 4 with taking account of the above unified
way.
We present 8 series of potential functions of type Bn in Section 5. There are 3 (elliptic,
trigonometric or hyperbolic and rational) series of the invariant potentials of type Bn whose
enough integrals are constructed by [25] and [29]. The complete integrability of the remaining
5 series of the potential functions is shown in Section 5, which is conjectured by [8] (4 series),
partially proved by [18, 19, 21] (3 series) and announced by [30] (5 series). The complete
integrability of two series among them seems to be first established in this note. Note that
when n ≥ 3, our systems which do not belong to these 8 series of type Bn are the Calogero–
Moser systems with elliptic potentials and the finite Toda lattices of type A(1)
n−1, whose complete
integrability is known.
The main purpose of our previous study in [23, 24, 25, 30] is classification of the completely
integrable systems associated with classical root systems. In this note we explicitly give integrals
of all the systems classified in our previous study with reviewing known integrals.
Since our expression of Pk is natural, we can easily define their classical limits without any
ambiguity and get completely integrable Hamiltonians of dynamical systems together with their
enough integrals. This is clarified in Section 7.
In Section 8 we examine ordinary differential operators which are analogues of the Schrödinger
operators studied in this note.
2 Notation and preliminary results
Let {e1, . . . , en} be the natural orthonormal base of the Euclidean space Rn with the inner
product
〈x, y〉 =
n∑
j=1
xjyj for x = (x1, . . . , xn), y = (y1, . . . , yn) ∈ Rn.
Here ej = (δ1j , . . . , δnj) ∈ Rn with Kronecker’s delta δij .
Let α ∈ Rn\{0}. The reflection wα with respect to α is a linear transformation of Rn defined
by wα(x) = x− 2〈α,x〉
〈α,α〉 α for x ∈ Rn. Furthermore we define a differential operator ∂α by
(∂αϕ)(x) =
d
dt
ϕ(x+ tα)
∣∣∣∣
t=0
and then ∂j = ∂ej .
The root system Σ(Bn) of type Bn is realized in Rn by
Σ(An−1)+ = {ei − ej ; 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n},
Σ(Dn)+ = {ei ± ej ; 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n},
Σ(Bn)+S = {ek; 1 ≤ k ≤ n},
Σ(Bn)+ = Σ(Dn)+ ∪ Σ(Bn)+S ,
Σ(F ) = {α,−α; α ∈ Σ(F )+} for F = An−1, Dn or Bn.
The Weyl groups W (Bn) of type Bn, W (Dn) of type Dn and W (An−1) of type An−1 are the
groups generated by wα for α ∈ Σ(Bn), Σ(Dn) and Σ(An−1), respectively. The Weyl group
4 T. Oshima
W (An−1) is naturally identified with the permutation group Sn of the set {1, . . . , n} with n
elements. Let ε be the group homomorphism of W (Bn) defined by
ε(w) =
{
1 if w ∈W (Dn),
−1 if w ∈W (Bn) \W (Dn).
The potential function (1.3) is of the form
R(x) =
∑
α∈Σ(Dn)+
uα(〈α, x〉) +
∑
α∈Σ(Bn)+S
vβ(〈β, x〉)
with functions uα and vβ of one variable. For simplicity we will denote
uα(x) = u−α(x) = uα(〈α, x〉) for α ∈ Σ(Dn)+,
vβ(x) = v−β(x) = vβ(〈β, x〉) for β ∈ Σ(Bn)+S ,
u±ij(x) = uei±ej (x), vk(x) = vek
(x).
Lemma 1. For a bounded open subset U of C, there exists an open neighborhood V of 0 in C
such that the following statements hold.
i) The function λ sinh−1 λz is holomorphically extended to (z, λ) ∈ (U \ {0}) × V and the
function is 1/z when λ = 0.
ii) Suppose Reλ > 0. Then the functions
e2λt sinh−2 λ(z ± t) and e4λt
(
sinh−2 λ(z ± t)− cosh−2 λ(z ± t)
)
are holomorphically extended to (z, q) ∈ U × V with q = e−2λt and the functions are 4e∓2λz and
16e∓4λz, respectively, when q = 0.
Proof. The claims are clear from

will identify them. In [25, 32], the integrable potentials of type An−1 which are invariant under

We review how the integrability of (Ellip-An−1) implies the integrability of other systems.
Since it follows from (2.14) that
lim

= RT (An−1;x;C, λ),

℘0(t; 2ω1, 2ω2) = C sinh−2 λt,
the integrability (3.2) for (Trig-An−1) follows from that for (Ellip-An−1) by the analytic conti-
nuation of uei−ej (x) and Pk with respect to q (cf. (2.10), (3.1), (3.3) and Lemma 2 i)).
The integrability for (Rat-An−1) is similarly follows in view of Lemma 1 with
lim
λ→0
RT (An−1;x;λ2C, λ) = RR(An−1;x;C),
u(t) = lim
λ→0
λ2C sinh−2 λt.
This argument using the analytic continuation for the proof of (3.2) is given in [32].
As is shown [33], there are two other integrable potentials of type An−1 to which this argument
can be applied.

respectively, if Reλ > 0. The restriction Reλ > 0 is removed also by the analytic continuation.
Thus the following theorem is obtained by the analytic continuation of the integrals (3.1) of
(Ellip-An−1) whose commutativity (3.2) is assured by [32].
Theorem 1 (An−1, [10, 11, 28, 32, 33, 34], etc.). The Schrödinger operators with the
potential functions (Ellip-An−1), (Trig-An−1), (Rat-An−1), (Toda-A(1)
n−1) and (Toda-An−1) are
completely integrable and their integrals are given by (3.1) with uei−ej (x) in the above.
Remark 1. i) There are quite many papers studying these Schrödinger operators of type An−1.
The proof of this theorem using analytic continuation is explained in [33].
ii) The complete integrability (3.2) for (Ellip-An−1) is first established by [32, Theorem 5.2],
whose proof is as follows. The equations [P1, Pk] = [P2, Pk] = 0 for k = 1, . . . , n are easily
obtained by direct calculations with the formula (2.9) (cf. [32, Lemma 5.1]). Then the relation
[P2, [Pi, Pj ]] = 0 and periodicity and symmetry of Pk imply [Pi, Pj ] = 0 (cf. [32, Lemma 3.5]).
Note that the proof of the integrability given in [28, § 5 Proposition 2 and Appendix E] is not
correct as is clarified in [32, Remark 3.7] (cf. [33, § 4.2]).
Note that the complete integrability for (Trig-An−1) is shown in [34].
iii) If Reλ > 0, we also have
lim
N→∞
RL
(
A
(1)
n−1;xk + kN ;Ce−2λN ;−2λ
)
= RL(An−1;x;C,−2λ).

iv) Note that
RL(An−1;xk +Nk;C, λ) =
n−1∑
i=1
Ceλ(Ni−Ni+1) · eλ(xi−xi+1).
Hence eλ(x1−x2) − eλ(x2−x3) gives the potential function of a completely integrable system of
type An−1 with n = 3 but the potential function
lim
λ→0
λ−1
(
eλ(x1−x2) − eλ(x2−x3)
)
= x1 − 2x2 + x3
does not give such a system because it does not satisfy (9.3) in Remark 13.
Considering the limit of the parameters of the integrable potential function, we should take
care of the limit of integrals.
v) Let Pn(t) denote the differential operator Pn in (3.1) defined by replacing u−ij by ũ−ij = u−ij+t
with a constant t ∈ C. Then
Pn(t) =
∑
0≤k≤n/2
(2k)!
2kk!
Pn−2kt
k with P0 = 1,
[Pn(s), Pn(t)] = 0 for s, t ∈ C. (3.4)
In fact, the term u−12u
−

−
2j−1,2j∂2j+1∂2j+2 · · · ∂n−2k appears only in the coefficient of tk in
the right hand side of (3.4) and it is contained in the terms

ũ−12 · · · ũ
−
2j−1,2j∂2j+1 · · · ∂n−2k
of Pn(t), where the number of the possibilities of these ũin−2k+1in−2k+2
· · · ũ−in−1in
is (2k)!/(2kk!)
because {in−2k+1, in−2k+2, . . . , in} = {n− 2k + 1, . . . , n}.
vi) Since
Pk−1 = (n− k + 1)[Pk, x1 + · · ·+ xn] for k = 2, . . . .n,
[Pk, P2] = 0 implies [Pk−1, P2] = 0 by the Jacobi identity. Here we note that
[u−12u

vi) The potential functions of (Trig-An−1), (Rat-An−1) and (Toda-An−1) are specializations
of more general integrable potential functions of type Bn (cf. Definition 5).
In the following diagram we show the relations among integrable potentials of type An−1 by
taking limits.

In this section we study the following commuting differential operators P and P2.
P = −1

∂y2
)
+R(x, y),
P2 =
∂4
∂x2∂y2
+ S with ordS < 4,
[P, P2] = 0. (4.1)
The Schrödinger operators P of type B2 in this section are known to be completely integrable.
They are listed in [23, 24, 30]. We review them and give the explicit expression of P2.
First we review the arguments given in [23, 24]. Since P is self-adjoint, we may assume P2 is
also self-adjoint by replacing P2 by its self-adjoint part if necessary. Here for
A =
∑
aij(x, y)
∂i+j
∂xi∂yj
we define
tA =
∑
(−1)i+j ∂i+j
∂xi∂yj
aij(x, y)
and A is called self-adjoint if tA = A.
Lemma 3 ([23]). Suppose P and P2 are self-adjoint operators satisfying (4.1). Then
R(x, y) = u+(x+ y) + u−(x− y) + v(x) + w(y),
P2 =
(
∂2
∂x∂y
+u−(x−y)−u+(x+y)
)2
− 2w(y)
∂2
∂x2
−2v(x)
∂2
∂y2
+4v(x)w(y)+T (x, y) (4.2)
and the function T (x, y) satisfies
∂T (x, y)
∂x
= 2(u+(x+ y)− u−(x− y))∂w(y)
∂y
+ 4w(y)
∂
∂y
(u+(x+ y)− u−(x− y)),
∂T (x, y)
∂y
= 2(u+(x+ y)− u−(x− y))∂v(x)
∂x
+ 4v(x)
∂
∂x
(u+(x+ y)− u−(x− y)). (4.3)
Conversely, if a function T (x, y) satisfies (4.3) for suitable functions u±(t), v(t) and w(t), then
(4.1) is valid for R(x, y) and P2 defined by (4.2).
Remark 2. i) If w(y) = 0, then T (x, y) does not depend on x.
ii) The self-adjointness of P2 and the vanishing of the third order term of [P, P2] imply that
P2 should be of the form (4.2) with a suitable function T (x, y). Then the vanishing of the first
order term implies (4.3). The last claim in Lemma 3 is obtained by direct calculation.
Since T (x, y) satisfying (4.3) is determined by (u−, u+; v, w) up to the difference of constants,
we will write T (u−, u+; v, w) for the corresponding T (x, y) which is an element of the space of
meromorphic functions of (x, y) modulo constant functions and define Q(u−, u+; v, w) by
T (u−, u+; v, w) = 2(u−(x− y) + u+(x+ y))(v(x) + w(y))− 4Q(u−, u+; v, w). (4.4)
Note that T (u−, u+; v, w) and Q(u−, u+; v, w) are defined only if the function T (x, y) satis-
fying (4.3) exists. The following lemma is a direct consequence of (4.3) and this definition
of Q.
Completely Integrable Systems Associated with Classical Root Systems 11
Lemma 4 ([23]). Suppose T (u−, u+; v, w) and T (u−i , u
+
i ; vj , wj) are defined. Then for any C,
Ci, C ′
j ∈ C the left hand sides of the following identities are also defined and
T (u−(t) + C, u+(t) + C; v(t), w(t))) = T (u−(t), u+(t); v(t), w(t)),
Q(u−(t), u+(t); v(t) + C,w(t) + C)) = Q(u−(t), u+(t); v(t), w(t)),
Q(u−(Ct), u+(Ct); v(Ct), w(Ct)) = Q(u−(t), u+(t); v(t), w(t))|x→Cx, y→Cy,

i ; vj , wj).
Hence the left hand sides give pairs P and P2 with [P, P2] = 0.
For simplicity we will use the notation
Q(u−, u+; v) = Q(u−, u+; v, v), Q(u; v, w) = Q(u, u; v, w), Q(u; v) = Q(u, u; v, v). (4.5)
The same convention will be also used for T (u−, u+; v, w). The integrable potentials of
type B2 in this note are classified into three kinds. The potentials of the first kind are the
unified integrable potentials which are in the same form as those of type Bn with n ≥ 3, which
we call normal integrable potentials of type B2.
The integrable potentials of type B2 admit a special transformation called dual which does
not exist in Bn with n ≥ 3. Hence there are normal potentials and their dual in the invariant
integrable potentials of type B2. Because of this duality, there exist another kind of invariant
integrable potentials of type B2, which we call special integrable potentials of type B2.
In this section we present
(
R(x, y), T (x, y)
)
as suitable limits of elliptic functions as in the
previous section since it helps to study the potentials of type Bn in Section 5. We reduce the
complete integrability of the limits to that of a systems with elliptic potentials. But we can also
check (4.3) by direct calculations (cf. Remark 5).
4.1 Normal case
In this subsection we study the integrable systems (4.1) with (4.2) which have natural extension
to type Bn for n ≥ 3 and have the form
u−(t) = Au−0 (t), u+(t) = Au+
0 (t), v(t) =
3∑
j=0
Cjvj(t), w(t) =
3∑

with any A, C0, C1, C2, C3 ∈ C. These systems are expressed by the symbol
(〈u−0 〉, 〈u
+
0 〉; 〈v0, v1, v2, v3〉, 〈w0, w1, w2, w3〉).
The most general system is the following (Ellip-B2) defined by elliptic functions, which is called
Inozemtsev model [12].
Theorem 2 (B2: Normal case, [12, 24, 23, 30] etc.). The operators P and P2 defined by
the following pairs of R(x, y) and T (x, y) satisfy (4.1) and (4.2).

with a convention similar to that in (4.5).
We will review the proof of the above theorem after certain remarks.
Remark 4. All the invariant integrable potentials of type B2 together with P2 are determined
by [24, 25]. They are classified into three cases. In the normal case they are (Ellip-B2), (Trig-B2)
and (Rat-B2) which have the following unified expression of the invariant potentials given by
[32, Lemma 7.3], where the periods 2ω1 and 2ω2 may be infinite (cf. (2.6) and (2.7))

This is the original form we found in the classification of the invariant integrable systems of
type Bn (cf. [25]). Later we knew Inozemtzev model and in fact, when the periods are finite,
(2.3) and (2.5) show that the above potential function corresponds to (Ellip-B2).

and (2.9), the right hand side of the above is zero and we have (4.3) when
u− = C℘(x−y) + C ′, u+ = C℘(x+y) + C ′, v = C℘(x) + C ′ and w = C℘(y) + C ′
with T (x, y) = 2(u− + u+)(v + w) − 4vw. Hence with Q
(
℘(t);℘(t)
)
= ℘(x)℘(y), the function
T (x, y) given by (4.4) satisfies (4.3) with the above u±, v and w. Using the transformations
(x, y) 7→ (x+ ωj , y + ωj), we have
℘(x+ ωj)℘(y + ωj) = Q(℘(t+ ωj);℘(t+ ωj)) = Q(℘(t);℘(t+ ωj)) (4.6)
for j = 0, 1, 2, 3 because the function ℘(x ± y) does not change under these transformations
(cf. (2.1)). Thus we have Theorem 2 for (Ellip-B2) in virtue of Lemma 3 and Lemma 4.
Here we note that ℘ may be replaced by ℘0.
By the limit under ω2 →∞, we have the following (Trig-B2) from (Ellip-B2). See the proof
of [29, Proposition 6.1] for the precise argument.
(Trig-B2):
Q(sinh−2 λt; sinh−2 λt) = sinh−2 λx · sinh−2 λy, (4.7)
Q(sinh−2 λt; cosh−2 λt) = − cosh−2 λx · cosh−2 λy, (4.8)
Q(sinh−2 λt; sinh2 λt) = 0, (4.9)
Q
(
sinh−2 λt;

sinh2 2λt
)
= sinh2 λx+ sinh2 λy + 2 sinh2 λx · sinh2 λy. (4.10)
The equations (4.7), (4.8) and (4.9) correspond to (2.14), (2.15) and (2.17), respectively. More-
over (2.8) should be noted and (4.10) corresponds to (2.17) with replacing (ω1, λ) by (ω1/2, 2λ).

By the limit under λ → 0, we have the following (Rat-B2) from (Trig-B2) as was shown in
the proof of [29, Proposition 6.3]. Here we note (2.13) and
cosh−2 λt · sinh2 λt = 1− cosh−2 λt,
cosh−2 λt · sinh4 λt = −1 + cosh−2 λt+ sinh2 λt,
cosh−2 λt · sinh6 λt = 1− cosh−2 λt− 2 sinh2 λt+

T (t−2; t−2) = 4(x−2 + y−2)((x− y)−2 + (x+ y)−2)− 4x−2y−2

.
This expression of T (x, y) for (Rat-B2) is also given in Remark 4. Note that we ignore the
difference of constants for Q and T .
Proof of Theorem 2. The three cases (Ellip-B2), (Trig-B2) and (Rat-B2) have been explai-
ned. Note that if u±, v, w and T (u−, u+; v, w) (or Q(u−, u+; v, w)) are defined and they have
an analytic parameter, Lemma 3 assures that their analytic continuations also define P and P2
satisfying [P, P2] = 0.

(Rat-B2-S) is given in [32, (7.13)] but it is easy to check (4.3) or prove the result as a limit
of (Trig-B2-S). (Ratd-D2-S-bry) follows from T (t2; t−2, 0) = 0 and T (t4; t−2, 0) = 32y2 (cf. Re-

(sinh−2 λt sinh−2 λy + cosh−2 λx cosh−2 λy),
Q(sinh−2 2λt; sinh−2 2λt) = sinh−2 2λx · sinh−2 2λy,
Q(sinh−2 2λt; sinh2 2λt) = 0.
Thus we get Theorem 3 from Theorem 2. �
4.3 Duality
Definition 1 (Duality in B2, [23]). Under the coordinate transformation
(x, y) 7→ (X,Y ) =
(
x+ y√
2
,
x− y√
2
)
the pair (P, P 2−P2) also satisfies (4.1), which we call the duality of the commuting differential
operators of type B2.
Denoting ∂x = ∂/∂x, ∂y = ∂/∂y and put
L = P 2 − P2 −
(

2
∂2
x −
1
2
∂2
y + w − v
)2
+ u−(∂x + ∂y)2 + u+(∂x − ∂y)2.
Then the order of L is at most 2 and the second order term of L is
−(u+ + u− + v + w)(∂2
x + ∂2
y)− 2(u− − u+)∂x∂y + 2w∂2
x + 2v∂2
y − (w − v)(∂2
x − ∂2
y)
+ u−(∂x + ∂y)2 + u+(∂x − ∂y)2 = 0.
Since L is self-adjoint, L is of order at most 0 and the 0-th order term of L is
−1
2
(∂2
x + ∂2
y)(u+ + u− + v + w) + (u+ + u− + v + w)2 − 4vw − T − ∂x∂y(u− − u+)
− 1
2
(∂2
x − ∂2
y)(w − v) = (u+ + u− + v + w)2 − 4vw − T
and therefore we have the following proposition.
Proposition 1 ([23, 24]). i) By the duality in Definition 1 the pair
(
R(x, y), T (x, y)
)
changes
into
(
R̃(x, y), T̃ (x, y)
)
with
R̃(x, y) = v

)

.
ii) Combining the duality with the scaling map R(x, y) 7→ c−2R(cx, cy), the following pair(
Rd(x, y), T d(x, y)
)
defines commuting differential operators if so does
(
R(x, y), T (x, y)
)
. This
Rd(x, y) is also called the dual of R(x, y),
Rd(x, y) = v(x+ y) + w(x− y) + u+(2x) + u−(2y),
T d(x, y) = Rd(x, y)2 − 4v(x+ y)w(x− y)− T (x+ y, x− y).
Remark 6. i) We list up the systems of type B2 given in Sections 4.1 and 4.2:
(u−(t), u+(t); v(t), w(t)) Symbol
(〈℘(t)〉; 〈℘(t), ℘(t+ ω1), ℘(t+ ω2), ℘(t+ ω3)〉), (Ellip-B2)
(〈℘(t; 2ω1, 2ω2), ℘(t;ω1, 2ω2)〉; 〈℘(t;ω1, 2ω2), ℘(t;ω1, ω2)〉), (Ellip-B2-S)
(〈sinh−2 λt〉; 〈sinh−2 λt, sinh−2 2λt, sinh2 λt, sinh2 2λt〉), (Trig-B2)
(〈sinh−2 λt, sinh−2 2λt〉; 〈sinh−2 2λt, sinh2 2λt〉), (Trig-B2-S)
(〈t−2〉; 〈t−2, t2, t4, t6〉), (Rat-B2)
(〈t−2, t2〉; 〈t−2, t2〉), (Rat-B2-S)
(〈cosh 2λt〉; 〈sinh−2 λt, sinh−2 2λt〉, 〈sinh−2 λt, sinh−2 2λt〉), (Toda-D(1)
2 -bry)
(〈coshλt, cosh 2λt〉; 〈sinh−2 λt〉, 〈sinh−2 λt〉), (Toda-D(1)
2 -S-bry)
(〈e−2λt〉; 〈e2λt, e4λt〉, 〈sinh−2 λt, sinh−2 2λt〉), (Toda-B(1)
2 -bry)
(〈e−λt, e−2λt〉; 〈e2λt〉, 〈sinh−2 λt〉), (Toda-B(1)
2 -S-bry)
(〈e−2λt〉, 0; 〈e2λt, e4λt〉, 〈e−2λt, e−4λt〉), (Toda-C(1)
2 )
(〈e−2λt, e−4λt〉, 0; 〈e4λt〉, 〈e−4λt〉), (Toda-C(1)
2 -S)
(〈sinh−2 λt〉, 0; 〈e−2λt, e−4λt, e2λt, e4λt〉), (Trig-A1-bry)
(〈sinh−2 λt, sinh−2 2λt〉, 0; 〈e−4λt, e4λt〉), (Trig-A1-S-bry)
(〈t−2〉, 0; 〈t, t2, t3, t4〉), (Rat-A1-bry)
(〈t−2〉, 〈t−2〉; 〈t2, t4〉). (Rat-D2-S-bry)
The first 6 cases above are classified by [24] as invariant systems. The systems such that at
least two of u±, v and w are not entire are classified by [23]. (Trig-∗) and (Toda-∗) in the above
are classified by [30] as certain systems with periodic potentials.
We do not put (〈t−2, t2〉, 0; 〈t, t2〉) in the list which corresponds to (Rat-A1-S-bry) because its
dual defines a direct sum of trivial operators (cf. Section 9).
ii) Since 1− sinh−2 t+4 sinh−2 2t = coth2 t = t2− (2/3)t4 + o(t4) and sinh2 t = t2 +(2/3)t4 +
o(t4), we have sinh2 2λx+sinh2 2λy−2 coth2 λ(x−y)−2 coth2 λ(x+y) = 8λ4(x2 +y2)2 +o(λ4).
Hence the potential function

+
A0
(x+ y)2
+
C0
x2
+
C0
y2
+ C1(x2 + y2) +A1(x2 + y2)2
is an analytic continuation of that of (Trig-B2-S) but this is not a completely integrable potential
function of type B2
iii) The dual is indicated by superfix d. For example, the dual of (Ellip-B2) is denoted by
(Ellipd-B2) whose potential function is
R(x, y) = A℘(2x) +A℘(2y) +
3∑
j=0
Cj(℘(x− y + ωj) + ℘(x+ y + ωj))
22 T. Oshima
and the dual of (Toda-C(1)
2 ) is
(〈e−2λt, e−4λt〉, 〈e2λt, e4λt〉; 0, 〈e−4λt〉) (Todad-C(1)
2 )
since the dual of
(
u−(t), u+(t); v(t), w(t)
)
is
(
w(t), v(t);u+(2t), u−(2t)
)
. Similarly
(〈℘(t;ω1, 2ω2), ℘(t;ω1, ω2)〉; 〈℘(2t; 2ω1, 2ω2), ℘(2t;ω1, 2ω2)〉). (Ellipd-B2-S)
Since 4℘(2t; 2ω1, 2ω2) = ℘(t;ω1, ω2) etc., (Ellipd-B2-S) coincides with (Ellip-B2-S) by replacing
(ω1, ω2) by (2ω2, ω1).
Then we have the following diagrams and their duals, where the arrows with double lines
represent specializations of parameters. For example, “Trig-B2
5:3⇒ Trig-BC2-reg” means that
2 parameters (coupling constants C2 and C3) out of 5 in the potential function (Trig-B2) are
specialized to get the potential function (Trig-BC2-reg) with 3 parameters. For the normal cases
see Definition 5 and the diagrams in the last part of the next section (type Bn).

(Trig-B2-S-reg) Trigonometric special potential of type B2 with regular boundary conditions is
(Trig-B2-S) with C1 = 0.
(Toda-D2-S-bry) Toda special potential of type D2 with boundary conditions is (Toda-B(1)

with C0 = 0.

(Toda-B2-S) Toda special potential of type B2 is (Toda-C(1)
2 -S-bry) with C0 = 0.
(Trig-A1-S-bry-reg) Trigonometric special potential of type A1 with regular boundary conditions
is (Trig-A1-S-bry) with C1 = 0.
Remark 7. We have some equivalences as follows:
(Ellip-B2-S) = (Ellipd-B2-S),
(Rat-B2-S) = (Ratd-B2-S),
(Trig-BC2-reg) = (Trigd-B2-S-reg),
(Trig-A1-bry-reg) = (Todad-D2-S-bry),
(Toda-D2-bry) = (Trigd-A1-S-bry-reg),
(Toda-B(1)
2 ) = (Todad-B(1)

(Toda-BC2) = (Todad-B2-S).

In this section we construct integrals of the completely integrable systems of type Bn appearing
in the following diagram. The diagram is also given in [8, Figure III.1], where (Toda-B(1)

is missing. The most general system (Ellip-Bn) is called Inozemtzev model (cf. [12]).

The complete integrability of the invariant systems (Ellip-Bn), (Trig-Bn) and (Rat-Bn) is
established by [29]. We review their integrals and then we prove that the other five systems are
also completely integrable by constructing enough integrals, which is announced by [30]. The
complete integrability of (Trig-An−1-bry), (Toda-C(1)
n ), (Toda-D(1)
n -bry) and (Rat-An−1-bry) is
presented as an unknown problem by [8] and then that of (Toda-B(1)
n -bry), (Toda-C(1)
n ) and
(Toda-D(1)
n -bry) are established by [18, 19, 21] using R-matrix method. The compete integra-
bility of (Trig-An−1-bry) and (Rat-An−1-bry) seems to have not been proved.
Definition 4 ([25, 29]). Let uα(x) and T o
I (vj) are functions given for α ∈ Σ(Dn) and subsets
I = {i1, . . . , ik} ⊂ {1, . . . , n} such that
uα(x) = u−α(x) and ∂yuα = 0 for y ∈ Rn with 〈α, y〉 = 0.

Definition 5. We define some potential functions as specializations of potential functions in
Definition 3.
(Trig-An−1-bry-reg) Trigonometric potential of type An−1 with regular boundary conditions is
(Trig-An−1-bry) with C2 = C3 = 0.
(Trig-An−1) Trigonometric potential of type An−1 is (Trig-An−1-bry) with C0 = C1 = C2 =
C3 = 0.
(Trig-BCn-reg) Trigonometric potential of type BCn with regular boundary conditions is (Trig-
Bn) with C2 = C3 = 0.
(Toda-Dn-bry) Toda potential of type Dn with boundary conditions is (Toda-B(1)
n -bry) with
C0 = C1 = 0.
(Toda-B(1)

(Rat-Dn) Rational potential of type Dn is (Rat-Bn) with C0 = C1 = C2 = C3 = 0.
(Toda-Dn) Toda potential of type Dn is (Toda-B(1)
n -bry) with C0 = C1 = C2 = C3 = 0.
(Rat-Bn-2) Rational potential of type Bn-2 is (Rat-Bn) with C2 = C3 = 0.
(Rat-An−1-bry2) Rational potential of type An−1 with 2-boundary conditions is (Rat-An−1-bry)
with C2 = C3 = 0. In this case, we may assume C0 = 0 or C1 = 0 by the transformation
xk 7→ xk + c (k = 1, . . . , n) with a suitable c ∈ C.
Then we have the following diagrams for n ≥ 3. Note that we don’t write all the arrows in
the diagrams (ex. (Toda-Dn-bry) → (Toda-BCn)) and the meaning of the symbol 5:3⇒ is same
as in the diagram for type B2. Namely, 5 parameters (coupling constant) in the potential are
reduced to 3 parameters by a certain restriction.

6 Type Dn (n ≥ 3)
Theorem 12 (Type Dn). The Schrödinger operators (Ellip-Dn), (Trig-Dn), (Rat-Dn), (Toda-
D
(1)
n ) and (Toda-Dn) are in the commutative algebra of differential operators generated by
P1, P2, . . . , Pn−1 and ∆{1,...,n} which are the corresponding operators for (Ellip-Bn), (Trig-Bn),
(Rat-Bn), (Toda-D(1)
n -bry), (Toda-Dn-bry) with C0 = C1 = C2 = C3 = 0, respectively.
Proof. This theorem is proved by [29] in the cases (Ellip-Dn), (Trig-Dn), (Rat-Dn). Other two
cases have been defined by suitable analytic continuation and therefore the claim is clear. �

Then for the integrable potential function R(x) given in this note, the functions P̄k(ξ, x) and
∆̄{1,...,n}(ξ, x) of (ξ, x) defined by replacing ∂ν by ξν (ν = 1, . . . , n) in the definitions of Pk and
∆{1,...,n} in Sections 3, 4 and 5 satisfy{
P̄i(ξ, x), P̄j(ξ, x)
}
=
{
P̄ (ξ, x), P̄k(ξ, x)
}
= 0 for 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n and 1 ≤ k ≤ n.
Hence P̄ (ξ, x) are Hamiltonians of completely integrable dynamical systems.
Moreover if the potential function R(x) is of type Dn, then{
∆̄{1,...,n}(ξ, x), P̄k(ξ, x)
}
=
{
∆̄{1,...,n}(ξ, x), P̄ (ξ, x)
}
= 0 for 1 ≤ k ≤ n.
Proof. If R(x) is a potential function of (Ellip-An−1), (Ellip-Bn) or (Ellip-Dn), the claim is
proved in [29, 32]. Since the claim keeps valid under suitable holomorphic continuations with
respect to the parameters which are given in the former sections, we have the theorem. �
Remark 11. Since our operators Pk are expressed by operators P ν
k =
∑

k,i(x)q
ν
k,i(∂) such that
the polynomials qν
k,i(∂) satisfy [pν
k,i(x), q
ν
k,i(∂)] = 0, there is no ambiguity in the definition of
the classical limits by replacing ∂ν by ξν . In another word, if we have given the above integrals
P̄j(x, ξ) of the classical limit, we have a natural unique quantization of them.
8 Analogue for one variable
Putting n = 1 for the Schrödinger operator P of type An in Section 3 or of type Bn in Section 5,
we examine the ordinary differential equation Pu = Cu with C ∈ C (cf. [41, § 10.6]). We will
write the operators Q = P − C.

9 A classification
We present a conjecture which characterizes the systems listed in this note.
Let P be the Schrödinger operator with the expression (1.1) and consider the condition
there exist P1, . . . , Pn such that
P ∈ C[P1, . . . , Pn],
[Pi, Pj ] = 0 (1 ≤ i < j ≤ n),
σ(Pk) =

(1 ≤ k ≤ n).
(9.1)
Note that all the completely integrable systems given in Sections 3, 4 or 5 satisfy this condition.
Conjecture. Suppose P satisfies (9.1). Under a suitable affine transformation of the coordinate
x ∈ Cn which keeps the algebra C

invariant, P is transformed into an
integrable Schrödinger operator studied in Sections 3, 4 or 5, (namely u±ij, vk and wk in (1.3) are
suitable analytic continuations of the corresponding functions of the invariant elliptic systems)
or in general a direct sum of such operators and/or trivial operators
(A1)
d2

+ v(x)
with arbitrary functions v(x) of one variable.
Here the direct sum of the two operators Pj(x, ∂x) =
∑
α∈{0,1,...}nj
aα(x)∂α
x of x ∈ Cnj for
j = 1, 2 means the operator P1(x, ∂x) + P2(y, ∂y) of (x, y) ∈ Cn1+n2 .
We review known conditions assuring this conjecture and give another condition (cf. Theo-
rem 19 and Remark 17). We also review related results on the classification of completely
integrable quantum systems associated with classical root systems.

Remark 12. The condition
there exists P2 such that [P, P2] = 0 and σ(P2) =
∑
1≤i<j≤n
ξ2i ξ

j (9.2)
may be sufficient to assure the claim of the conjecture.
Remark 13 (Type A2). If n = 2 and if there exists P3 satisfying
σ(P3) = ξ1ξ2 + ξ2ξ3 + ξ3ξ1 and [P, P3] = [∂1 + ∂2 + ∂3, P ] = [∂1 + ∂2 + ∂3, P3] = 0,
then Conjecture is true.
In fact this case is reduced to solving the equation∣∣∣∣∣∣∣
u(x) u′(x) 1
v(y) v′(y) 1
w(z) w′(z) 1
∣∣∣∣∣∣∣ = 0 for x+ y + z = 0 (9.3)
for three unknown functions u(t), v(t) and w(t), which is solved by [3, 4]. Here u(t) = ue1−e2(t),
v(t) = ue2−e3(t) and w(t) = ue1−e3(−t).
9.1 Pairwise interactions and meromorphy
Theorem 14 ([40]). The potential function R(x) of P satisfying (9.1) is of the form
R(x) =
∑
α∈Σ(Bn)+
uα(〈α, x〉) (9.4)
with meromorphic functions uα(t) of one variable.
Remark 14. i) The condition (9.2) assures
R(x) =
∑
α∈Σ(Bn)+
uα(〈α, x〉) +
∑
1≤i<j<k≤n
Cijkxixjxk
with Cijk ∈ C and thus the above theorem is proved in the invariant case (cf. Section 9.2) by [32]
or in the case of Type B2 by [23] or in the case of Type An−1. This theorem is proved in [40]
by using [P, P2] = [P, P3] = 0.

Definition 6. By the expression (9.4), put
S = {α ∈ Σ(Bn)+ ; u′α 6= 0}
and let W (S) be the Weyl group generated by {wα ; α ∈ S} and moreover put S̄ = W (S)S.
Theorem 15 ([23] for Type B2, [40] in general). If the root system S̄ has no irreducible
component of rank one, then (9.2) assures that any function uα(t) extends to a meromorphic
function on C.
Remark 15 ([32, (6.4)–(6.5)], [40, § 3]). The condition (9.2) is equivalent to

that is, the condition (9.2) with replacing P by P ′.

9.2 Invariant case
Theorem 16 ([24, 25, 29, 32]). Assume that P in (1.1) is invariant under the Weyl group
W = W (An−1), W (Bn) or W (Dn) with n ≥ 3, or W = W (B2). If we have (1.2) with
P1 = ∂1 + ∂2 + · · ·+ ∂n if W = W (An−1),

Conjecture is true.
Remark 16. The condition
[P, P1] = [P, P3] = 0 if W = W (An−1),
[P, P2] = 0 if W = W (Bn) or W = W (Dn)
together with (9.4) is sufficient for the proof of this theorem.
9.3 Enough singularities
Put Ξ = {α ∈ Σ(Bn)+ ; uα(t) is not entire}.
Theorem 17. i) ([23]) Suppose n = 2 and let S̄ be of type B2. If #Ξ ≥ 2, then Conjecture is
true.
ii) ([40]) If S̄ is of type An−1 or of type Bn and moreover the reflections wα for α ∈ Ξ generate
W (An−1) or W (Bn), respectively, then Conjecture is true.
This theorem follows from the following key Lemma.
Lemma 6 ([23, 37, 40]). Suppose (9.1) and moreover that there exist α and β in S such that
α 6= β, 〈α, β〉 6= 0 and uα(t) has a singularity at t = t0. Then uα(t − t0) is an even function
with a pole of order two at the origin and
uwα(β)
(
t− 2t0
〈α, γ〉
〈α, α〉
)
= uβ(t) if wα(β) ∈ Σ(Bn)+,
u−wα(β)
(
−t+ 2t0
〈α, γ〉
〈α, α〉
)
= uβ(t) if − wα(β) ∈ Σ(Bn)+. (9.6)
Corollary 1. Suppose the assumption in Lemma 6.
i) If uα(t) has another singularity at t1 6= t0, then
uγ
(
t+ 2(t1 − t0)
〈α, γ〉
〈α, α〉
)
= uγ(t) for γ ∈ S. (9.7)
ii) Assume that uα has poles at 0, t0 and t1 such that t0 and t1 are linearly independent
over R. Then uβ(t) is a doubly periodic function and therefore uβ(t) has poles and hence uα(t)
is also a doubly periodic function. We may moreover assume that uβ has a pole at 0 by a parallel
transformation of the variable x.
Case I: Suppose α = ei − ej, β = ej − ek with 1 ≤ i < j < k ≤ n.
uei−ej (t) = uej−ek
(t) = uei−ek
(t) = C℘(t; 2ω1, 2ω2) + C ′
with suitable C, C ′ ∈ C, which corresponds to (Ellip-A2).
Case II: Suppose α = ei − ej and β = ej with 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n.
Then
(
uei−ej (t), uei+ej (x), uei(t), uej (t)
)
is (Ellip-B2), (Ellip-B2-S) or (Ellipd-B2).
Completely Integrable Systems Associated with Classical Root Systems 41
iii) If S̄ is of type An−1 or Bn or Dn and one of uα(t) is a doubly periodic function with
poles, then P transforms into (Ellip-An−1) or (Ellip-Bn) or (Ellip-Dn) under a suitable parallel
transformation on Cn.
Proof of Corollary 1. i) is a direct consequence of Lemma 6. iii) follows from ii). We have
only to show ii).
Case I: It follows from (9.6) that uα(t) = uβ(t) = uei−ek
(t) and they are even functions. Let
Γ2ω1,2ω2 = {2m1ω1 + 2m2ω2 ; m1,m2 ∈ Z}
be the set of poles of uα. Then (9.7) implies uβ(t+ 2ω1) = uβ(t+ 2ω2) = uβ(t). Since 2ω1 and
2ω2 are periods of ℘(t) and there exists only one double pole in the fundamental domain defined
by these periods, we have the claim.
Case II: It follows from (9.6) that uei−ej (t) = uei+ej (t) and uei(t) = uek
(t) and they are even
functions. Let Γ2ω1,2ω2 be the poles of uei−ej (t). Then (9.7) means uei(t+2ω1) = uei(t+2ω2) =
uei(t). Considering the poles of uei−ek
(t) with (9.7), we have four possibilities of poles of uei :
(Case II-0): Γ2ω1,2ω2 ,
(Case II-1): Γ2ω1,2ω2
⋃
(ω1 + Γ2ω1,2ω2),
(Case II-2): Γ2ω1,2ω2
⋃
(ω2 + Γ2ω1,2ω2),
(Case II-3): Γ2ω1,2ω2
⋃
(ω1 + Γ2ω1,2ω2)
⋃
(ω2 + Γ2ω1,2ω2).
Here we note that (Case II-1) changes into (Case II-2) if we exchange ω1 and ω2. Then we have
(Case II-0): uei−ej (t+ 4ω1) = uei−ej (t+ 4ω2) = u(t),
(Case II-2): uei−ej (t+ 4ω1) = uei−ej (t+ 2ω2) = u(t),
(Case II-3): uei−ej (t+ 2ω1) = uei−ej (t+ 2ω2) = u(t).
Thus (Case II-0), (Case II-2) and (Case II-3) are reduced to (Ellipd-B2), (Ellip-B2-S) and
(Ellip-B2), respectively. �

Definition 7. The potential function R(x) of a Schrödinger operator is reducible if R(x) and
Rn is decomposed as R(x) = R1(x) +R2(x) and Rn = V1 ⊕ V2 such that
0 ( V1 ( Rn, V2 = V ⊥

If R(x) is not reducible, R(x) is called to be irreducible.

9.4 Periodic potentials
The following theorem is a generalization of the result in [30].
Theorem 19. Assume R(x) is of the form (9.4) with meromorphic functions uα(t) on C and
R
(

2π
√
−1α
〈α, α〉
)
= R(x) for α ∈ Σ(Bn) (9.9)
and moreover assume that
the root system S̄ does not contain an irreducible component of
type B2 or even if S̄ contains an irreducible component
S̄2 = {±ei ± ej ,±ei,±ej} of type B2, the origin s = 0 is not an isolated
essential singularity of uα(log s) for α ∈ S̄2
⋂
Σ(Dn)+.
Then Conjecture is true.
Remark 17. i) The integrable systems classified in this note which satisfy the assumption of
Theorem 19 under a suitable coordinate system are (Ellip-∗) and (Trig-∗) and (Toda-∗), which
are the systems given in this note whose potential functions are not rational.
ii) The assumption (9.9) implies that uα(log s) is a meromorphic function on C \ {0} for any
α ∈ Σ(Bn)+. It means that the corresponding Schrödinger operator is naturally defined on the
Cartan subgroup of Sp(n,C) with a meromorphic potential function.
Lemma 7. Assume n = 2, (9.2), (9.9), S̄ is of type B2 and moreover uα(log s) are holomorphic
for α ∈ Σ(B2)+ and 0 < |s| � 1. If the origin is at most a pole of uβ(log s) for β ∈ Σ(D2)+,
the origin is also at most a pole of uα(log s) for α ∈ Σ(B2)+.
Proof. Use the notation as in (4.2). Put

Case U−

Then Vq = (−U+

Case U+

Completely Integrable Systems Associated with Classical Root Systems 43
Proof of Theorem 19. Lemma 5 assures that we may assume S̄ is an irreducible root system.
We may moreover assume that the rank of S̄ is greater than one.
Suppose that there exists γ ∈ S such that the origin is neither a removable singularity nor
an isolated singularity of uγ(log s). Then uγ(t) is a doubly periodic function with poles. Owing
to Corollary 1,
∑
α∈S0
uα(〈α, x〉) is reduced to the potential function of (Ellip-An−1) or (Ellip-Bn)
or (Ellip-Dn).
Thus we may assume that the origin is a removable singularity or an isolated singularity of
uα(log s) for any α ∈ S.
Let α, β ∈ S
⋂
Σ(Dn) with α 6= β and 〈α, β〉 6= 0. Put γ = wαβ or γ = −wαβ so that
γ ∈ Σ(Dn)+. Then [30] shows that u(t) = uα(t), v(t) = uβ(t) and w(t) = uγ(−t) satisfy (9.3).
Then Remark 13 says that the origin is at most a pole of u(log s), v(log s) and w(log s).
Let α ∈ S
⋂
Σ(Dn) and β ∈ S \ Σ(Dn) with 〈α, β〉 6= 0. Let W be the reflection group
generated by wα and wβ and put So = W{α, β}
⋂
Σ(Bn). Then [30] also shows that
R(x) =
∑
γ∈So
uγ(〈γ, x〉)
defines an integrable potential function of type B2. Hence Lemma 7 assures that the origin is
at most a pole of uα(log s) for α ∈ So.
Since S is irreducible, the origin is at most a pole of uα(log s) for α ∈ S. Then Theorem 19
follows from [30]. �
9.5 Uniqueness
We give some remarks on the operator which commutes with the Schrödinger operator P .
Remark 18 ([32, Lemma 3.1 ii)]). If differential operators Q and Q′ satisfy [Q,Q′] = 0,
σ(Q′) =
n∑
j=1
ξN
j and ord(Q) ≤ N −2, then Q has a constant principal symbol, that is, σ(Q) does
not depend on x.
Hence if there exist differential operators Q1, . . . , Qn with constant principal symbols such
that σ(Q1), . . . , σ(Qn) are algebraically independent and moreover they satisfy [Qi, Qj ] = 0 for
1 ≤ i < j ≤ n, then any operator Q satisfying [Q,Qj ] = 0 for j = 1, . . . , n has a constant
principal symbol. In particular, if a differential operator Q satisfies [Q,Pk] = 0 for Pk in (1.2)
and (1.4) with k = 1, . . . , n, then σ(Q) does not depend on x.
Remark 19. Assume that a differential operator Q commutes with a Schrödinger operator P
and moreover assume that there exist linearly independent vectors cj ∈ Cn for j = 1, . . . , n such
that the operator is invariant under the parallel transformations x 7→ x + cj for j = 1, . . . , n.
Then σ(Q) does not depend on x (cf. [32, Lemma 3.1 i)]).
Furthermore assume that P is of type (Ellip-F ) or (Trig-F ) or (Rat-F ) with F = An−1 or Bn
or Dn. If the condition (9.8) holds or Q is W (F )-invariant, it follows from Theorem 18 or [29,
Proposition 3.6] that Q is in the ring C[P1, . . . , Pn] generated by the W (F )-invariant commuting
differential operators. If the condition (8.11) is not valid, σ(Q) is not necessarily W (F )-invariant
(cf. [7, 35, 39]).
Remark 20 ([32, Theorem 3.2]). Let P be the Schrödinger operator in Theorem 16. Un-
der the notation in Theorem 16 suppose Pk are W -invariant for 1 ≤ k ≤ n. Then the ring
C[P1, . . . , Pn] is uniquely determined by P and Q, where Q = P3 if W = W (An−1) and Q = P2
if W = W (Bn) or W (Dn).
44 T. Oshima
Remark 21. If Pc = −(1/2)
n∑
j=1
∂2
j + cR(x) is a Schrödinger operator with a coupling constant
c ∈ C such that Pc admits a non-trivial commuting differential operator Qc of order four for any
c ∈ C, then the operator Pc may be a system stated in Conjecture under a suitable coordinate
system.
The following example satisfies neither this condition nor the condition (9.8). It does not
admit commuting differential operators (1.2) satisfying (1.4) if m 6= 0, −1.

is completely integrable for any m and algebraically integrable if m is an integer.
The following example shows that the Schrödinger operator P does not necessarily determine
the commuting system C[P1, . . . , Pn].
Example 3. Let α, β, γ and λ be complex numbers. Put (A0, A1, C0, C1) = (α, γ/2−λ/2, β, λ)
for (Rat-B2-S) in Theorem 3 (cf. [32, Remark 3.7]). Then the Schrödinger operator

for any λ ∈ C. Note that [Qα,β,γ,λ, Qα,β,γ,λ′ ] 6= 0 if λ 6= λ′ and these operators are W (B2)-
invariant. The half of the coefficient of the term λ of Qα,β,γ,λ considered as a polynomial
function of λ is

In particular, P = −(1/2)(∂2

Note that if R(x) is a polynomial function on Cn, the condition
[
−(1/2)
n∑

for a differential operator Q implies that the coefficients of Q are polynomial functions (cf. [32,
Lemma 3.4]).
9.6 Regular singularities
Definition 8 ([16]). Put ϑk = tk∂/∂tk and Yk = {t = (t1, . . . , tn) ∈ Cn ; tk = 0}. Then
a differential operator Q of the variable t is said to have regular singularities along the set of
walls {Y1, . . . , Yn} if
Q = q(ϑ1, . . . , ϑn) +
n∑
k=1
tkQk(t, ϑ).
Completely Integrable Systems Associated with Classical Root Systems 45
Here q is a polynomial of n variables and Qk are differential operators with the form
Qk(t, ϑ) =
∑
aα(t)ϑα1
1 · · ·ϑ
αn
n
and aα(t) are analytic at t = 0. In this case we define
σ∗(Q) = q(ξ1, . . . , ξn)
and σ∗(Q) is called the indicial polynomial of Q.
Theorem 20. Let R(t) be a holomorphic function defined on a neighborhood of the origin of Cn.
Let Q1 and Q2 be differential operators of t which have regular singularities along the set of walls
{Y1, . . . , Yn}. Suppose σ∗(Q1) = σ∗(Q2) and [Q1, P ] = [Q2, P ] = 0 with the Schrödinger operator
P = −1
2
(
ϑ2
n +
n−1∑
j=1
(

)2)+R(t).
Then Q1 = Q2.
Proof. Put tj = e−(xj−xj+1) for j = 1, . . . , n − 1 and tn = e−xn . Then ∂j = ϑj+1 − ϑj for j =
1, . . . , n− 1 and ∂n = −ϑn. Under the coordinate system x = (x1, . . . , xn) Remark 19 says that
Q1−Q2 has a constant principal symbol, which implies Q1 = Q2 because σ∗(Q1−Q2) = 0. �
A more general result than this theorem is given in [31]. The following corollary is a direct
consequence of this theorem.
Corollary 2. Put tj = e−λ(xj−xj+1) for j = 1, . . . , n − 1 and tn = e−λxn. Suppose P is
the Schrödinger operator of type (Trig-An−1), (Trig-An−1-bry-reg), (Trig-BCn-reg), (Trig-Dn),
(Toda-An−1), (Toda-BCn) or (Toda-Dn).
i) P and Pk for k = 1, . . . , n have regular singularities along the set of walls {Y1, . . . , Yn}.
ii) Let Q be a differential operator which has regular singularities along the set of walls
{Y1, . . . , Yn} and satisfies [Q,P ] = 0. If σ∗(Q) = σ∗(Q̃) for an operator Q̃ ∈ C[P1, . . . , Pn], then
Q = Q̃.
Remark 22. i) This corollary assures that certain radial parts of invariant differential operators
on a symmetric space correspond to our completely integrable systems with regular singularities
and the map σ∗ corresponds to the Harish-Chandra isomorphism (cf. [31]).
ii) The system (Trig-BCn-reg) is Heckman–Opdam’s hypergeometric system [11] of type BCn.
Since (Trig-BCn-reg) is a generalization of Gauss hypergeometric system related to the root
system Σ(Bn), the systems in the following diagram are considered to be generalizations of Gauss
hypergeometric system and its limits (cf. Section 8). They form a class whose eigenfunctions
should be easier to be analyzed than those of other systems in this note.

If a Schrödinger operator P is in the commutative algebra D = C[P1, . . . , Pn], then the differential
operator P̃ := ψ(x)−1P ◦ ψ(x) with a function ψ(x) is in the commutative algebra D̃ =
C[ψ(x)−1P1 ◦ ψ(x), . . . , ψ(x)−1Pn ◦ ψ(x)] of differential operators. Then

Remark 23. As is shown in [15, Theorem 5.24 in Ch. II], the operator (9.13) or (9.14) gives the
radial part of the differential equation satisfied by the zonal spherical function of a Riemannian
symmetric space G/K of the non-compact type which corresponds to the Laplace–Beltrami
operator on G/K. Here G is a real connected semisimple Lie group with a finite center, K is
a maximal compact subgroup of G and the numbers 2m, 2m0, 2m1 and 2m2 correspond to the
multiplicities of the roots of the restricted root system for G.

Namely v is a simultaneous eigenfunction of the invariant differential operators on G/K and
satisfies v(nx) = χ(n)v(x) with n ∈ N and x ∈ G/K. Here G = KAN is an Iwasawa de-
composition of G and χ is a nonsingular character of the nilpotent Lie group N . Then v|A
is a simultaneous eigenfunction of the commuting algebra of differential operators determined
by P̃ .
