    A Generalization of the Kepler Problem

    Full text link
    We construct and analyze a generalization of the Kepler problem. These generalized Kepler problems are parameterized by a triple (D,κ,μ)(D, \kappa, \mu) where the dimension D≥3D\ge 3 is an integer, the curvature κ\kappa is a real number, the magnetic charge μ\mu is a half integer if DD is odd and is 0 or 1/2 if DD is even. The key to construct these generalized Kepler problems is the observation that the Young powers of the fundamental spinors on a punctured space with cylindrical metric are the right analogues of the Dirac monopoles.Comment: The final version.
