Abstract. A number of affine-Weyl-invariant integrable and exactly-solvable quantum
models with trigonometric potentials is considered in the space of invariants (the space of
orbits). These models are completely-integrable and admit extra particular integrals. All
of them are characterized by (i) a number of polynomial eigenfunctions and quadratic in
quantum numbers eigenvalues for exactly-solvable cases, (ii) a factorization property for
eigenfunctions, (iii) a rational form of the potential and the polynomial entries of the met-
ric in the Laplace–Beltrami operator in terms of affine-Weyl (exponential) invariants (the
same holds for rational models when polynomial invariants are used instead of exponential
ones), they admit (iv) an algebraic form of the gauge-rotated Hamiltonian in the expo-
nential invariants (in the space of orbits) and (v) a hidden algebraic structure. A hidden
algebraic structure for (A−B−C−D)-models, both rational and trigonometric, is related to
the universal enveloping algebra Ugln . For the exceptional (G−F−E)-models, new, infinite-
dimensional, finitely-generated algebras of differential operators occur. Special attention is
given to the one-dimensional model with BC1 ≡ (Z2)⊕T symmetry. In particular, the BC1
origin of the so-called TTW model is revealed. This has led to a new quasi-exactly solvable
model on the plane with the hidden algebra sl(2)⊕ sl(2).

1 Introduction
In this article we attempt to overview our constructive knowledge of (quasi)-exactly-solvable
potentials having the form of a meromorphic function in trigonometric variables. Any model
with such a potential is characterized by a discrete symmetry group, and possesses an (in)finite
set of polynomial eigenfunctions in a certain trigonometric variables. In the case of exactly-
solvable potentials an infinite discrete spectra is quadratic in the quantum numbers. All of
these models are characterized by the appearance of a hidden (Lie) algebraic structure. They do
not admit a separation of variables, they are completely-integrable and possess a commutative
algebra of integrals. So far, no super-integrable models with trigonometric potentials are known,
although all of them admit at least one particular integral [22].
A similar overview of the rational models (with a potential in the form of a meromorphic
function in Cartesian coordinates) was given in [21]. Unlike the trigonometric models the rational
models do admit a separation out of radial coordinate and hence, the emergence of integral
of the second order leading to super-integrability. For exactly-solvable rational models their

eigenvalues depend on quantum numbers linearly, thus, their spectrum is a linear superposition
of equidistant spectra.
Any spinless quantum system is characterized by the Hamiltonian
H = −∆ + V (x), x ∈ Rd. (1.1)
The main problem of quantum mechanics is to find the spectrum the Hamiltonian looking for
the Schrödinger equation
HΨ(x) = EΨ(x), Ψ(x) ∈ L2
(
Rd
)
.
in the Hilbert space. Since the Hamiltonian is a differential operator it can be represented
as infinite-dimensional matrix. Thus, the solving the Schrödinger equation is equivalent to
diagonalizing the infinite-dimensional matrix. It is a transcendental problem: the characteristic
polynomial is of infinite order and it has infinitely-many roots. In general, we do not know how
to make such a diagonalization explicitly. One can try to describe or construct quantum system
for which a transcendental nature of (1.1) degenerates (completely or partially) to algebraic
one: the roots of the characteristic polynomial (energies), some or all, can be found explicitly
(algebraically). Usually, in such a situation one can indicate an analytic form of (some or all)
eigenfunctions. Such systems do exist and we call them solvable. If all energies are known
they are called exactly-solvable (ES), if only some number of them is known we call them quasi-
exactly-solvable (QES) [23]. Surprisingly, almost all such models the present author is familiar
with, are provided by integrable systems emerging from the Hamiltonian reduction method [13]
with real, continuous coupling constants. Sometimes, these models are called the Calogero–
Moser–Sutherland models. Every Hamiltonian has a discrete symmetry – it is symmetric with
respect to affine Weyl group. Usually, the multi-dimensional Hamiltonians of the trigonometric
models are of the form

in the exactly-solvable case, where R+ is a set of positive roots in the root space ∆ of dimen-
sion N , β is a parameter and µ|α| are coupling constants which depend on the root length. For
roots of the same length the constants ν|α| are equal. Thus, the potential in (1.2) is a superpo-
sition of the Weyl-invariant functions, each defined as a sum over roots of the same length. The
configuration space is the Weyl alcove. The ground state wave function has a form
Ψ0(y) =
∏
α∈R+
∣∣∣∣sin β2 (α · y)
∣∣∣∣ν|α| . (1.3)
The ground state energy has a form E0 = β2ε0(ν) and is known explicitly.
Let us take the Hamiltonian in Rd which is symmetric with respect to the (maximal) discrete
group G. One can construct invariants of G using a procedure of averaging some function over
orbit(s). The d linearly independent invariants span a linear space called the space of orbits.
These invariants are generating elements of the algebra of invariants. The main idea of this
paper is to study the Hamiltonian in a space of orbits (space of invariants). Technically, it
implies a change of variables from the original coordinates to the invariants. Conceptually, it
means factoring out the discrete symmetry of the problem. It reveals a “primary” operator of
the system which being dressed by the discrete symmetry becomes the Hamiltonian.
We consider some models from the list of ones known so far.

2 Solvable models
2.1 Generalities
Many years ago, as the state-of-the-art, Sutherland found a many-body exactly-solvable and
integrable Hamiltonian with trigonometric potential [18]. A few years later the Hamiltonian re-
duction method was introduced (for review and references see e.g. Olshanetsky–Perelomov [13]).
In this method an extended family of integrable and exactly-solvable Hamiltonians with trigono-
metric potentials, associated with affine Weyl (Coxeter) symmetry, was found. The Sutherland
model appeared as one of its representatives, the AN trigonometric model.
The idea of the Hamiltonian reduction method is beautiful:
• Take a simple group G.
• Define the Laplace–Beltrami (invariant) operator on its symmetric space (free motion).
• Radial part of the Laplace–Beltrami operator is the Olshanetsky–Perelomov Hamiltonian
relevant from physical point of view. The emerging Hamiltonian is affine Weyl-symmetric,
it can be associated with root system, it is integrable with integrals given by the invariant
operators of order higher than two with a property of solvability.
Trigonometric case. This case appears when the coordinates of the symmetric space are
introduced in such a way that a negative-curvature surface occurs. Emerging the Calogero–
Moser–Sutherland–Olshanetsky–Perelomov Hamiltonian in the Cartesian coordinates has the
form (1.2) with the ground state given by (1.3). In the Hamiltonian reduction, the parame-
ters ν|α| of the Hamiltonian take a set of discrete values, however, they can also be generalized
to any real value without loosing the property of integrability as well as solvability with the only
constraint being the existence of L2-solutions of the corresponding Schrödinger equation. The
configuration space for (1.2) is the Weyl alcove.
The Hamiltonian (1.2) is completely-integrable: there exists a commutative algebra of inte-
grals (including the Hamiltonian) of dimension which is equal to the dimension of the configura-
tion space (for integrals, see Oshima [14] with explicit forms of those). The Hamiltonian (1.2) is
invariant with respect to the affine Weyl (Coxeter) group transformation, which is the discrete
symmetry group of the corresponding root space, see e.g. [13].
The Hamiltonian (1.2) has a hidden (Lie)-algebraic structure. In order to reveal it (see [1, 2,
3, 4, 12, 15, 16]) we need to
• Gauge away the ground state eigenfunction making a similarity transformation (Ψ0)−1(H−
E0)Ψ0 = h, then
• If the state-of-art variables are introduced for trigonometric models AN , BCN , G2 and F4
(see [1, 4, 15, 16], respectively), the Hamiltonian h becomes algebraic, however,
• It can be checked, which, in fact, looks evident, that parameterizing the space of orbits
of the Weyl (Coxeter) group by taking the Weyl (Coxeter) fundamental trigonometric
invariants,
τ (Ω)
a (y;β) =
∑
w∈Ωa
eiβ(w,y), (2.1)
where Ωa is an orbit generated by fundamental weight wa, a = 1, 2, . . . , N (N is the
rank of the root system); ~y is N -dimensional auxiliary vector which defines the Cartesian
coordinates, as coordinates we arrive at the conclusion that the state-of-the-art variables [1,
4, 15, 16] coincide with (2.1). It should be emphasized that this fact was not clear to the
authors of articles [1, 4, 15, 16] including the present author.

From physical point of view, the expression (2.1) is a Weyl-invariant non-linear superpo-
sition of plane waves with momenta proportional to β.
The fundamental trigonometric invariants τ(β) taken as coordinates always lead to the gauge-
rotated trigonometric Hamiltonian h in a form of algebraic differential operator with polynomial
coefficients. It is proved by demonstration. It is worth emphasizing a surprising fact that the
period(s) of the invariants τ(β) is half of the period(s) of the Hamiltonian (1.2) and the ground
state function (1.3). It seems correct (this can be proved by demonstration) that the original
Hamiltonian H (1.2) written in terms of the fundamental trigonometric invariants τ(β) takes
the form
H(τ) = −∆g + V (τ), (2.2)
where
∆g =

is the Laplace–Beltrami operator with a metric gij(τ) with polynomial in τ matrix elements,
hence with polynomial in τ coefficient functions in front of the second derivatives, and with the
property that the coefficient functions in front of the first derivatives are also polynomials in τ ;
V (τ) is a rational function, see below e.g. (2.7), (2.21). The form (2.2) can be called the rational
form of the trigonometric model. It is evident that the similar rational form (2.2) appears for
rational models when polynomial Weyl invariants are used as new coordinates to parameterize
the space of orbits. In turn, the gauge-rotated Hamiltonian h in τ -variables takes the form
h(τ) = −∆g +
∑
α∈R+
ν|α|
∑
a=1,...,N
C |α|a (τ)∂τa ,
where Ca(τ) are polynomials in τ , see below e.g. (2.9), (2.27). The same representation is valid
for the rational models.

where β, g2, g3 are parameters. Symmetry: (Z2) ⊕ T (reflections x → −x, translation x →
x + 2π/β). As for the configuration space, it can be taken the interval [0, πβ ]. If g2 = 0 the
interval can be extended to [0, 2π
β ]. At g3 = 0 (or g2 = 0) the Hamiltonian (2.3) degenerates to
the A1 trigonometric Hamiltonian, which describes the relative motion of two particle system
on a line.
The ground state for (2.3) reads

Note that if the parameters in (2.3) are related g2 = g3
2 (g32 − 1), the ground state energy (2.4)
reaches its maximal value, E0 = 0.
Any eigenfunction has a form Ψ0ϕ, where ϕ is a polynomial in the BC1 fundamental trigono-
metric invariant τ(β) = cos(βx) (see (2.1)). Hence, the ground state function Ψ0 plays a role of
a multiplicative factor.

while the one-soliton Hamiltonian appears at α2 = 1

Hamiltonian under the replacement β → iβ the BC1 Hyperbolic Hamiltonian occurs.
Let us introduce a new variable
τ = cos(βx) (2.6)
(which is the 2π
β -periodic, BC1-Weyl invariant) in the BC1 Hamiltonian (2.3). It appears that

. Overall multiplicative factor β2
in (2.7) is dropped off. It can be called a rational form of the BC1 trigonometric Hamiltonian.
The eigenvalue problem for (2.7) is considered on the interval [−1, 1]. It can be easily seen
that the rational form for the BC1 hyperbolic Hamiltonian is exactly the same as for the BC1
trigonometric Hamiltonian (!) and is given by (2.7). However, the domain for theBC1 hyperbolic
Hamiltonian (2.7) is [1,∞). In the hyperbolic case taking τ = coshβx (cf. (2.6)) we obtain the
same Hamiltonian (2.7). The ground state eigenfunction (2.4) in τ coordinate (2.6) becomes
Ψ0(τ) = (1 + τ)
ν2

At ν2 = 1 and ν3 = 0 it coincides to the Jacobian.
Now let us make a gauge rotation
hBC1 =

with Ψ0 given by (2.4) and write the result in the variable τ . After a simple calculations it reads

which is the algebraic form of the BC1 Hamiltonian (2.3). Its eigenvalues are
εp = p2 + (2ν2 + ν3)p, p = 0, 1, 2, . . . , (2.10)
being quadratic in quantum number p, while the eigenfunctions are the Jacobi polynomials, ϕp =
P

p (τ). Eventually, the explicit form of an eigenfunction of the Hamiltonian (2.3)
is

It can be easily checked that the gauge-rotated Hamiltonian hBC1(τ) has infinitely many
finite-dimensional invariant subspaces
Pn = 〈τp|0 ≤ p1 ≤ n〉, n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , (2.11)
hence, the infinite flag P,
P0 ⊂ P1 ⊂ P2 ⊂ · · · ⊂ Pn ⊂ · · · ⊂ P,
with the characteristic vector ~f = (1) (see below), is preserved by hBC1 . Thus, the eigenfunctions
of hBC1 are elements of the flag P. Any subspace Pn contains (n + 1) eigenfunctions which is
equal to dimPn.

where n = 0, 1, . . . and T 0 is the central element. Its finite-dimensional representation space
is the space of polynomials Pn (2.11). Hence, the finite-dimensional invariant subspaces of the
Hamiltonian hBC1 coincide with the finite-dimensional representation spaces of gl2 (2.12) for
n = 0, 1, 2, . . .. It immediately implies that the algebra gl2 is the hidden algebra of the BC1
trigonometric Hamiltonian – it can be written in terms of gl2 generators (2.12)
hBC1 = J0J0 − J−J− + (2ν2 + ν3 + 1)J0 + ν3J
−, (2.13)
where J0 ≡ J0
0 , J− ≡ J−0 . Thus, the Hamiltonian hBC1 is an element of the universal enveloping
algebra Ugl2 .
Among the generators of the algebra gl2 (2.12) there is the Euler-Cartan operator,
J0
n = τ

which has zero grading; it maps a monomial in τ to itself. It defines the highest weight vector.
This generator allows us to construct a particular integral – π-integral of zero grading of the

Making the gauge rotation of the π-integral (2.14) with Ψ−1
0 (τ) given by (2.4) and changing
variables τ back to the Cartesian coordinate we arrive at the quantum π-integral acting in the
Hilbert space,

Under such a gauge transformation the triangular space of polynomials Pn becomes the space
Vn = Ψ0Pn.
The Hamiltonian HBC1(x) commutes with I(n)

Any eigenfunction Ψ ∈ Vn is zero mode of the π-integral I(n)

It is worth noting a connection of the BC1 trigonometric model with the so-called Tremblay–
Turbiner–Winternitz (TTW) model [19] and, in particular, with the I2(k) rational model (see
e.g. [21]). In order to see it let us combine the BC1 trigonometric Hamiltonian HBC1(φ) (2.3)
as the angular part and the radial part of two-dimensional spherical-symmetrical harmonic
oscillator Hamiltonian as the radial part forming the 2D Hamiltonian

which is nothing but the Hamiltonian of the TTW model [19]. If β = k is integer, this
Hamiltonian corresponds to the I2(k) rational model [13]. Since the both Hamiltonians are
exactly-solvable, the TTW model is also exactly-solvable but with spectra of two-dimensional
anisotropic (!) harmonic oscillator with frequency ratio 1 : β. Any eigenfunction of (2.15) has
the form of a polynomial p(r2, cos(βφ)) in variables r2 and cos(βφ) multiplied by a ground state

2.3 Quasi-exactly-solvable BC1 case
(or QES trigonometric Pöschl–Teller potential)
The Hamiltonian hBC1(τ) (2.9) is gl(2)-Lie-algebraic operator (2.13) which has infinitely-many
finite-dimensional invariant subspaces in polynomials (2.11). By adding to hBC1(τ) (2.9) the

(τ) = hBC1 + δh(qes), (2.19)
which has a single finite-dimensional invariant subspace
Pn = 〈τp | 0 ≤ p ≤ n〉,
of the dimension (n + 1). Hence, this operator is quasi-exactly-solvable - it can be written in
terms of gl2 generators in (n+ 1)-dimensional representation (2.12),

P(d)
0 ⊂ P(d)
1 ⊂ P(d)
2 ⊂ · · · ⊂ P(d)
n ⊂ · · · ⊂ P(d). (2.30)
Such a nested construction is called infinite flag (filtration) P(d). It is worth noting that the
flag P(d) is made out of finite-dimensional irreducible representation spaces P(d)
n of the algebra
gld+1 taken in realization (2.29). It is evident that any operator made out of generators (2.29)
has finite-dimensional invariant subspace which is finite-dimensional irreducible representation
space.
2.4.2 Algebraic properties of the Sutherland model
It seems evident that the Hamiltonian (2.27) has to have a representation as a second order
polynomial in generators (2.29) at d = N − 1 acting in RN−1,
hSuth = Pol2
(
J −i ,Jij
0
)
,
where the raising generators J +
i are absent. Thus, gl(N) (or, strictly speaking, its maximal
affine subalgebra) is the hidden algebra of the N -body Sutherland model. Hence, hSuth is an
element of the universal enveloping algebra Ugl(N). The eigenfunctions of the N -body Sutherland
model are elements of the flag of polynomials P(N−1). Each subspace P(N−1)
n is represented by
the Newton polytope (pyramid). It contains CN−1
n+N−1 eigenfunctions, which is equal to the
volume of the Newton polytope. They are orthogonal with respect to Ψ2
0, see (2.25).
The Hamiltonian (2.24) is completely-integrable: there exists a commutative algebra of in-
tegrals (including the Hamiltonian and the momentum of the center-of-mass motion) of dimen-
sion N which is equal to the dimension of the configuration space (for integrals, see Oshima [14]
with explicit forms of those). Each integral Ik has a form polynomial in momentum of degree
k ≤ N . Making gauge rotation with Ψ2
0, separating center-of-mass motion and changing vari-
able to (2.26) any integral appears in a form differential operator with polynomial coefficients.
Evidently, it preserves the flag of polynomials (2.30) and can be written as a non-linear combi-
nation of the generators (2.29) at d = N −1 from its affine subalgebra. The explicit formulae of
integrals in (2.29) are unknown. The spectra of the integral which is a polynomial in momentum
From Quantum AN (Sutherland) to E8 Trigonometric Model: Space-of-Orbits View 13
of degree k is given by a polynomial in quantum numbers of the degree k. All eigenfunctions of
the integrals are common.
Among the generators of the hidden algebra there is the Euler–Cartan operator,
J 0
n =
N−1∑
i=1
τi
∂
∂τi
− n,
see (2.29), which has zero grading and plays a role of constant acting as identity operator on
a monomial in τ . It defines the highest weight vector. This generator allows us to construct the
particular integral – π-integral of zero grading (see [22])

J 0
n + j
)
(2.31)
such that[
hSuth(τ), i(n)

: P(N−1)
n 7→ 0.
Making the gauge rotation of the π-integral (2.31) with Ψ−1
0 (τ) given by (2.25) and changing
variables τ (see (2.26)) back to the Cartesian coordinates we arrive at the quantum π-integral,
I(n)
par,Suth(x) = Ψ0(τ)i(n)
par(τ)Ψ−1
0 (τ)
∣∣∣
τ→x
.
It is a differential operator of the (n+ 1)th order.
Under such a gauge transformation the triangular space of polynomials P(N−1)
n becomes the
space
V(N−1)
n = Ψ0P(N−1)
n .
The Hamiltonian HSuth(x) commutes with I(n)
par,Suth(x) over this space[
HSuth(x), I(n)

: V(N−1)
n 7→ 0.
Any eigenfunction Ψ ∈ V(N−1)
n is zero mode of the π-integral I(n)

The ground state function for (2.32) reads

4
, g2 = ν2(ν2 − 1) > −1
4
, g3 = ν3(ν3 + 2ν2 − 1) > −1

.
Any eigenfunction has a form Ψ0ϕ, where ϕ is a polynomial in the CN fundamental trigonometric
invariants τ(β) (2.1). Hence, Ψ0 plays a role of multiplicative factor.
The BCN Hamiltonian (2.32) degenerates to the BN Hamiltonian at g2 = 0, to the CN
Hamiltonian at g3 = 0 and to the DN Hamiltonian at g2 = g3 = 0. For the BN Hamiltonian

cf. (2.10), hence, the spectrum is quadratic in quantum numbers pi = 0, 1, . . ., where i =
1, 2, . . . , N . The Hamiltonian hBCN has infinitely many finite-dimensional invariant subspaces
of the form P(N)

The Hamiltonian can be immediately rewritten in terms of generators (2.29) at d = N as
a polynomial of the second degree,
hBCN

where the raising generators J +
i are absent. Hence, gl(N + 1) is the hidden algebra of the BCN
trigonometric model, the same algebra as for the AN -rational model. The eigenfunctions of
the BCN trigonometric model are elements of the flag of polynomials P(N). Each subspace P(N)

contains CNn+N eigenfunctions (volume of the Newton polytope (pyramid) P(N)

orthogonal with respect to Ψ2

The rational form (2.2) of the BCN trigonometric Hamiltonian (2.32) can be derived making
the gauge rotation of the algebraic form (2.35) with inverse of the ground state function in
τ -variables, (Ψ0(τ))−1,
HBCN (τ) = −∆g + VBCN (τ),
where ∆g is the Laplace–Beltrami operator with a metric gij(τ) = Aij (see (2.36)) and VBCN (τ)

The Hamiltonian (2.32) is completely-integrable: there exists a commutative algebra of in-
tegrals (including the Hamiltonian) of dimension N which is equal to the dimension of the
configuration space (for integrals, see Oshima [14] with explicit forms of those). Each integ-
ral Ik has a form polynomial in momentum of degree 2k ≤ 2N . Making gauge rotation with Ψ2
0
and changing variable to (2.26) any integral appears in a form differential operator with poly-
nomial coefficients. Evidently, it preserves the flag of polynomials (2.30) and can be written
as a non-linear combination of the generators (2.29) at d = N from its affine subalgebra. The
explicit formulae of integrals in generators (2.29) are unknown. The spectra of the integral which
is a polynomial in momentum of degree 2k is given by a polynomial in quantum numbers of the
degree 2k. All eigenfunctions of the integrals are common.
It is evident that for the BCN trigonometric model there exists a particular integral – π-
integral of zero grading (see [22])

Now we are in a position to draw an intermediate conclusion about AN and BCN trigono-
metric models.
• Both AN - and BCN -trigonometric (and rational) models possess algebraic forms associated
with preservation of the same flag of polynomials P(N). The flag is invariant with respect
to linear transformations in space of orbits τ 7→ τ + A. It preserves the algebraic form of
Hamiltonian.
• Their Hamiltonians (as well as higher integrals) can be written in the Lie-algebraic form
h = Pol2(J (b ⊂ glN+1)),
where Pol2 is a polynomial of 2nd degree in generators J of the maximal affine subalgebra
of the algebra b of the algebra glN+1 in realization (2.29). Hence, glN+1 is their hidden
algebra. From this viewpoint all four models are different faces of a single model.
• Supersymmetric AN - and BCN -rational (and trigonometric) models possess algebraic
forms, preserve the same flag of (super)polynomials and their hidden algebra is the su-
peralgebra gl(N + 1|N) (see [4]).
In a connection to flags of polynomials we introduce a notion ‘characteristic vector’. Let us
consider a flag made out of “triangular” linear space of polynomials

model.
The G2 trigonometric Hamiltonian admits the integral in a form of the 6th order differential
operator [14]. After gauge rotation with Ψ0 in variables τ1,2 the integral has to take the alge-
braic form which is not known explicitly. This integral preserves the same flag P(2)
(1,2) as the
Hamiltonian (2.39). It can be rewritten in term of generators of the algebra g(2). In addition to
it, there exists π-integral of zero grading (see [22])

Summarizing let us mention that in addition to the flag P(2)
(1,2) the G2 trigonometric Hamilto-
nian preserves two more flags: P(3,5) and P(5,9), where their characteristic vectors (3, 5) and (5, 9)
coincide to the Weyl vector and co-vector, respectively.

νj is even. Here g = ν(ν−1) > −1/4 is the coupling constant and β is a parameter. The
configuration space is the principal E8 Weyl alcove. Symmetry of the E8 trigonometric model
is given by the affine E8 Weyl group of the order 696 729 600. The ground state function Ψ0 is
given by (1.3). Making a gauge rotation of the Hamiltonian

where E0 = 310β2ν2 is the ground state energy, and introducing the new variables τ1,...,8(β),

at the E8 trigonometric Hamiltonian in the algebraic form

all of them have with the same characteristic vector ~f = (2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6), they form the infinite
flag. The spectrum of the Hamiltonian hE8 (2.44) is quadratic in quantum numbers [3, 10].
Eigenfunctions φn,{p} of hE8 are elements of P(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,6)
n . The number of eigenfunctions in
P(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,6)
n is equal to the dimension of P(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,6)
n .
The space P(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,6)
n is a finite-dimensional representation space of a Lie algebra of
differential operators which we call the e(8) algebra [6]. It is infinite-dimensional but finitely
generated algebra of differential operators, with 968 generating elements in a form of differential
operators of the orders 1st (54), 2nd (24), 3rd (18), 4rd (18), 5rd (28), 6rd (5) plus one of zeroth
order (constant). They span 100 + 100 Abelian (conjugated) subalgebras of lowering and raising
generators2 L and U and one algebra B of the Cartan type of dimension 15 plus one central
element. Among the generators of B there is the Euler–Cartan operator
J

0 = 2τ1∂τ1 + 2τ2∂τ2 + 3τ3∂τ3 + 3τ4∂τ4 + 4τ5∂τ5 + 4τ6∂τ6 + 5τ7∂τ7 + 6τ8∂τ8 − n. (2.45)
Taking the algebra B and a pair of conjugated Abelian algebras one can show that the commu-
tation relations lead to the diagram of Fig. 4. Depending on what pair L, U the degree p takes
the following values: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
The E8 trigonometric model is completely-integrable – there exist seven algebraically in-
dependent mutually commuting differential operators of finite order that commute with the
Hamiltonian (2.43) [10, 13]. We are not aware on the existence of their explicit forms. It seems
evident that any of these integrals after the gauge rotation with the ground state function Ψ0
the space of orbits should take an algebraic form of a differential operator with polynomial
2It implies that these commutative subalgebras can be divided into pairs. In every pair the elements of different
subalgebras are related via a certain operation of conjugation similar to one described for g(2) on p. 18.

It is worth mentioning that the operator (2.44) has a certain property of degeneracy: it
also preserves the infinite flag of the spaces of polynomials with the characteristic vector ~f =
(29, 46, 57, 68, 84, 91, 110, 135). This vector coincides to the E8 Weyl (co)vector. Hence, the
eigenfunctions of hE8(τ) are the elements of this flag as well. It implies the existence of another

3 Conclusions
• For trigonometric Hamiltonians for all classical AN , BCN , BN , CN , DN and for ex-
ceptional root spaces G2, F4, E6,7,8, similar to the rational Hamiltonians including non-
crystallographic H3,4, I2(k) (see [21]), there exists an algebraic form after gauging away
the ground state eigenfunction, and changing variables from Cartesian to fundamental
trigonometric Weyl invariants (see [1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 15, 16]). Their eigenfunctions are poly-
nomials in these variables. They are orthogonal with respect to the squared ground state
eigenfunction.
Coefficient functions in front of the second derivatives of these gauge-rotated Hamiltonians
which are polynomials in fundamental trigonometric Weyl invariants define a metric A of
flat space in the space of orbits. We will call this metric the V.I. Arnold metric, he was the
first to calculate a similar metric in the case of polynomial Weyl invariants. This metric has
a property that in the Laplace–Beltrami operator the coefficient functions in front of the
first derivatives are polynomials in fundamental trigonometric invariants. This property
is similar to one which occurs in the case of rational models. The (rational) Arnold metric
for the space of orbits parameterized by polynomial Weyl invariants can be considered as
an appropriate degeneration of the (trigonometric) Arnold metric for the space of orbits
parameterized by fundamental trigonometric Weyl invariants.

• Any trigonometric Hamiltonian is characterized by a hidden algebra. These hidden al-
gebras are Ugl(N+1) for the case of classical AN , BCN , BN , CN , DN and new infinite-
dimensional but finite-generated algebras of differential operators for all other cases. All
these algebras have finite-dimensional invariant subspace(s) in polynomials. Rational
Hamiltonians are characterized by the same hidden algebra with a single exception of
the E8 case.
• The generating elements of any such hidden algebra can be grouped into an even number
of (conjugated) Abelian algebras Li, Ui and one Lie algebra B. They obey a (generalized)
Gauss decomposition rule (see Fig. 5). A study and a description of all these algebras is
in progress and will be given elsewhere.
• Any algebraic Hamiltonian h of a trigonometric model preserves one or several flags of
invariant subspaces with characteristic vectors given by the highest root vector, the Weyl
vector and the Weyl co-vector (see Table 1). With the single exception of the E8 case the
flags for rational and trigonometric models coincide.
• The original Weyl-invariant periodic Hamiltonian (1.1) written in the fundamental trigono-
metric invariants (2.1) corresponds to a particle moving in flat space with (trigonometric)
Arnold metric A in a rational potential,
H(τ) = −∆A +
∑̀
k
gkVk(τ),
24 A.V. Turbiner
where ∆A is the Laplace–Beltrami operator, gk, k = 1, . . . , ` are coupling constants, ` is
the number of different root lengths in the root space. Vk(τ) are rational functions. So far,
we are unaware about the explicit form of the functions Vk(τ) for all root systems except
for some particular cases (see (2.7), (2.21), (2.37), (2.38)).
• The existence of an algebraic form of the Hamiltonian h of a trigonometric model al-
lows us to construct integrable discrete systems in the space of orbits with the same
hidden algebra structure, having a property of isospectrality, on uniform, exponential and
mixed uniform-exponential lattices following the strategy presented in [17] (uniform lat-
tice) and [5] (exponential lattice).
• The space of orbits formalism allowed us to show that both rational and trigonometric
models for any root system are essentially algebraic: the (appropriately) gauge-rotated
Hamiltonians are algebraic operators, their invariant subspaces are spaces of polynomials.
A natural question to ask is: How the elliptic Calogero–Moser systems look like in a space
of orbits formalism; are they algebraic just like rational and trigonometric systems? A main
obstruction to get an answer is that, in general, it is not known how to construct elliptic
invariants – the invariants with respect to a “double”-affine Weyl group (the Weyl group
plus two translations) – on a regular basis. However, such invariants can be constructed
explicitly for two particular root systems: A1/BC1 [24] and BC2 [20]. It can be shown
that the corresponding elliptic systems are algebraic.
