Classical symmetries of monopole by group theoretic methods
Abstract
Description
We use group theoretic methods to obtain the extended Lie point symmetries of the equations of motion for a charged particle in the field of a monopole. Cases with certain model magnetic fields and potentials are also studied. Our analysis gives the generators and Lie algebras generating the inherent symmetries. The equations of motion of a scalar particle probing the near horizon structure of a black hole is also treated likewise. We have also found the generators of Krause's complete symmetry groups for some of the above examples.
