Covariant Approach of the Dynamics of Particles in External Gauge Fields, Killing Tensors and Quantum Gravitational Anomalies

چکیده

We give an overview of the first integrals of motion of particles in the presence of external gauge fields in a covariant Hamiltonian approach. The special role of Stäckel–Killing and Killing–Yano tensors is pointed out. Some nontrivial examples involving Runge–Lenz type conserved quantities are explicitly worked out. A condition of the electromagnetic field to maintain the hidden symmetry of the system is stated. A concrete realization of this condition is given by the Killing–Maxwell system and exemplified with the Kerr metric. Quantum symmetry operators for the Klein–Gordon and Dirac equations are constructed from Killing tensors. The transfer of the classical conserved quantities to the quantum mechanical level is analyzed in connection with quantum anomalies.

Covariant hamiltonian dynamics

We discuss the covariant formulation of the dynamics of particles with abelian and non-abelian gauge charges in external fields. Using this formulation we develop an algorithm for the construction of constants of motion, which makes use of a generalization of the concept of Killing vectors and tensors in differential geometry. We apply the formalism to the motion of classical charges in abelian...

Higher-spin Gauge and Trace Anomalies in Two-dimensional Backgrounds

Two-dimensional quantum fields in electric and gravitational backgrounds can be described by conformal field theories, and hence all the physical (covariant) quantities can be written in terms of the corresponding holomorphic quantities. In this paper, we first derive relations between covariant and holomorphic forms of higher-spin currents in these backgrounds, and then, by using these relatio...

Surface charges and dynamical Killing tensors for higher spin gauge fields in constant curvature spaces

In the context of massless higher spin gauge fields in constant curvature spaces, we compute the surface charges which generalize the electric charge for spin one, the color charges in Yang-Mills theories and the energy-momentum and angular momentum for asymptotically flat gravitational fields. We show that there is a one-to-one map from surface charges onto divergence free Killing tensors. The...

Quantum anomalies for generalized Euclidean Taub-NUT metrics

We investigate quantum anomalies for generalized Euclidean TaubNUT metrics which admit hidden symmetries analogous to the RungeLenz vector of the Kepler-type problem. We review results which show that the appearance of gravitational anomalies is connected with the absence of Killing-Yano tensors for these metrics. We have found that for axial anomalies the presence of Killing-Yano tensors is ir...

Spherically Symmetric Solutions in a New Braneworld Massive Gravity Theory

In this paper, a combination of the braneworld scenario and covariant de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive Gravity theory is proposed. In this setup, the five-dimensional bulk graviton is considered to be massive. The five dimensional nonlinear ghost-free massive gravity theory affects the 3-brane dynamics and the gravitational potential on the brane. Following the solutions with spherical s...
