Abstract
We investigate how the Lax-Novikov integral in the perfectly invisible PT-regularized zero-gap quantum conformal and superconformal mechanics systems affects on their (super)-conformal symmetries. We show that the expansion of the conformal symmetry with this integral results in a nonlinearly extended generalized Shrödinger algebra. The PT-regularized superconformal mechanics systems in the phase of the unbroken exotic nonlinear \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 super-Poincaré symmetry are described by nonlinearly super-extended Schrödinger algebra with the osp(2|2) sub-superalgebra. In the partially broken phase, the scaling dimension of all odd integrals is indefinite, and the osp(2|2) is not contained as a sub-superalgebra.
