Supersymmetries and constants of motion in Taub-NUT spinning space

Abstract

We review the geodesic motion of pseudo-classical spinning particles in curved spaces. Investigating the generalized Killing equations for spinning spaces, we express the constants of motion in terms of Killing-Yano tensors. The general results are applied to the case of the four-dimensional Euclidean Taub-NUT spinning space. A simple exact solution, corresponding to trajectories lying on a cone, is given.Comment: 33 pages, LaTeX2e, to appear in Fortschritte der Physi
