Abstract: (arXiv)
In a recent FTC by Tremblay {\sl et al} (2009 {\sl J. Phys. A: Math. Theor.} {\bf 42} 205206), it has been conjectured that for any integer value of kk, some novel exactly solvable and integrable quantum Hamiltonian HkH_k on a plane is superintegrable and that the additional integral of motion is a 2k2kth-order differential operator Y2kY_{2k}. Here we demonstrate the conjecture for the infinite family of Hamiltonians HkH_k with odd k3k \ge 3, whose first member corresponds to the three-body Calogero-Marchioro-Wolfes model after elimination of the centre-of-mass motion. Our approach is based on the construction of some D2kD_{2k}-extended and invariant Hamiltonian \chh_k, which can be interpreted as a modified boson oscillator Hamiltonian. The latter is then shown to possess a D2kD_{2k}-invariant integral of motion \cyy_{2k}, from which Y2kY_{2k} can be obtained by projection in the D2kD_{2k} identity representation space.
