Abstract
It is long known that the rational Calogero model describing n identical particles on a line with inverse-square mutual interaction potential is quantum superintegrable. We review the (nonlinear) algebra of the conserved quantum charges and the intertwiners which relate the Liouville charges at couplings g and g+1. For integer values of g, these intertwiners give rise to additional conserved charges commuting with all Liouville charges and known since the 1990s. We give a direct construction of such a charge, the unique one being totally antisymmetric under particle permutations. It is of order n(n-1)(2g-1)/2 in the momenta and squares to a polynomial in the Liouville charges. With a natural Z_2 grading, this charge extends the algebra of conserved charges to a nonlinear supersymmetric one. We provide explicit expressions for intertwiners, charges and their algebra in the cases of two, three and four particles.

Summary
The quantum phase space of the n-particle Calogero model, defined by the Hamiltonian. Since (2.6) contains in particular [H, Ik] = 0, the Ik form n involutive constants of motion, whose leading term for large |xi−xj| is i pki. The Jacobi identity implies that H, [Il, Jk] = 0, so [Il, Jk] must be a linear combination of the Im, i k [Ik. in particular i[I1, Jl] = Il−1 and i[I2, Jl] = 2 Il. the shifted operators Lk = Jk+2 satisfy the Witt algebra. A useful set of 2n−1 constants of motion for the n-particle Calogero model at arbitrary coupling g is {P, H, I3, . Inserting the corresponding expressions into (2.24) and (2.25) changes the quadratic algebra to a polynomial one of order 2n−1
