Killing Tensors and Conserved Quantities of a Relativistic Particle in External Fields

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-03-04 v1

Abstract

We generalize Killing equations to a test particle system which is subjected to external force. We relax the conservation condition by virtue of reparametrization invariance of a particle orbit. As a result, we obtain generalized Killing equations which have hierarchical structure on the top of which a conformal Killing equation exists.
