Hamiltonian description for the MIC-Kepler problem In 1970, McIntosh and Cisneros studied the dynamical system describing the motion of a charged particle under the magnetic force due to Dirac s monopole field of strength µ and the square inverse centrifugal potential force besides the Coulomb s potential force.

4 The Hamiltonian description for the MIC-Kepler problem is given by T. Iwai and Y. Uwano 1986 as follows. The MIC-Kepler problem is the reduced Hamiltonian system of the 4-dimensional conformal Kepler problem by an S 1 action, if the associated momentum mapping ψu, ρ µ 0.

5 The MIC-Kepler problem is a triple T Ṙ 3, σ µ, H µ where σ µ = dp x dx + dp y dy + dp z dz µ x dy dz + y dz dx + z dx dy, r3 H µ x, p = 1 m p x + p y + p z + µ mr k r. Its energy hyper surface : H µ = E Φx, p r H µ E = 0 is equal to π µ Φ u, ρ = 0 Ü Ôµ Ê Ù µ where π µ ψ 1 µ T Ṙ 3, Ü Ôµ Ì Ê Ù µ Ì Ê ½ µ π µ Φ = u H E, u u 1 + u + u 3 + u 4. 5

6 The conformal Kepler problem is a triple T Ṙ 4, dρ du, H where dρ du 4 j=1 dρ j du j, Hu, ρ = 1 1 m 4u 4 j=1 ρ j k u. Since u = r > 0 invariant under the S 1 action, π µφ = 0 is equal to H E = 0. The energy hyper surface H = E is equivalent to Ku, ρ= ϵ where Ku, ρ is the Hamiltonian of 4-dimensional harmonic oscillator: Ku, ρ = 1 m 4 j=1 ρ j + 1 mω 4 u j j=1 { m > 0 mass of pendulum ω > 0 angular frequency considering only the case where the real parameter E < 0 and putting both the constant mω 8E and a real parameter ϵ 4k. 6

7 We solved the harmonic oscillator by means of the Moyal product, which brought the following functions. Moyal propagator -exponential i ui +u ħ t+iy K f, ρ e = cos ωz 4 exp [ i ħω K ui + u f, ρ ] tan ωz where u i = u i 1, ui, ui 3, ui 4 Ṙ4 and u f = u f 1, uf, uf 3, uf 4 Ṙ4 denote initial point and final point of motion respectively. Feynman s propagator K u f, u i ; z = t + iy = m ω [ 1 4π ħ sin ωz exp i mω ħ = n= C n e inωt 1 sin ωz { u i + u f cos ωz u i u f } ] where C n ω π π/ω π/ω K u f, u i ; τ + iy e inωτ dτ. 7

11 . Green s function of the MIC-Kepler problem We suppose E mk ħ N + N = 0, 1,,, then reduce the Green s function of the conformal Kepler problem Gu f, u i ; ϵ 4k assumed mω 8E to the Green s function of the MIC-Kepler problem G + x f, x i ; E or G x f, x i ; E by an S 1 action. G + x f, x i ; E and G x f, x i ; E denote the Green s functions in the following local coordinates τ + and τ respectively. τ + : π 1 U + u πu, φ + u = xr, θ, ϕ, expiν/ U + S 1 x = r sin θ cos ϕ y = r sin θ sin ϕ z = r cos θ, u 1 = r cos θ cos ν + ϕ u 3 = r sin θ cos ν ϕ, u = r cos θ sin ν + ϕ, u 4 = r sin θ sin ν ϕ where U + = { xr, θ, ϕ Ṙ 3 ; r > 0, 0 θ < π, 0 ϕ < π }, 0 ν < 4π. 11

12 τ : π 1 U u πu, φ u = x r, θ, ϕ, expi ν/ U S 1 x = r sin θ cos ϕ y = r sin θ sin ϕ z = r cos θ, u 1 = r sin θ cos ν + ϕ u 3 = r cos θ cos ν + 3 ϕ, u = r sin θ sin ν + ϕ, u 4 = r cos θ where U = { x r, θ, ϕ Ṙ 3 ; r > 0, 0 θ < π, 0 < ϕ π }, 0 ν < 4π. sin ν + 3 ϕ z θ r = r x ϕ z r = r x x O θ y x ϕ O y 1

13 Iwai and Uwano also investigated the quantized system 1988 : The quantized conformal Kepler problem is defined as a pair L R 4 ; 4u du, Ĥ where L R 4 ; 4u du : Ĥ = ħ m 1 4u The Hilbert space of square integrable complex-valued functions on R 4, 4 j=1 u j k u : The Hamiltonian operator. They introduce complex line bundles L l l Z on which the linear connection is induced from a connection on the principal fibre bundle π : Ṙ 4 Ṙ 3. By an S 1 action, L R 4 ; 4u du is reduced to the Hilbert space, denoted by Γ l, of square integrable cross sections in L l over Ṙ 3. 13

14 The quantized MIC-Kepler problem is the reduced quantum system Γ l, Ĥ l where j stands for the covariant derivation with respect to the linear connection whose curvature gives Dirac s monopole field of strength lħ/, Ĥ l = ħ m 3 j=1 j + lħ/ mr k r. Cross section in L l corresponds uniquely to an eigenfunction of the momentum operator ˆN ˆN = iħ u + u 1 u 4 + u 3 u 1 u u 3 u 4 ˆN Ψu = l ħ Ψu Ψu L R 4 ; 4u du, l Z., Accordingly, the introduction of L l is understood as a geometric consequence of the conservation of the angular momentum associated with the U1 S 1 action. 14

15 We can obtain the wave function of the quantized MIC-Kepler problem, denoted by Ψ N x Γ l, as the following cross section with either of the local coordinates. i x U +, Ψ + N x π e i l ν/ Ψ N, l u ii x U, Ψ N x π e i l ν/ Ψ N, l u where L R 4 ; 4u du Ψ N, l u satisfies Ĥ Ψu = E Ψu ˆK Ψu = ϵ Ψu s.t. ϵ 4k and mω 8E ˆN Ψu = l ħ Ψu. Finally, we can calculate the Green s function of the MIC-Kepler problem by the following infinite series consists of Ψ N x with either of the local coordinates.
