Lorentz Group and Oriented MICZ-Kepler Orbits
Abstract
The MICZ-Kepler orbits are the non-colliding orbits of the MICZ Kepler problems (the magnetized versions of the Kepler problem). The oriented MICZ-Kepler orbits can be parametrized by the canonical angular momentum and the Lenz vector , with the parameter space consisting of the pairs of 3D vectors with . The recent 4D perspective of the Kepler problem yields a new parametrization, with the parameter space consisting of the pairs of Minkowski vectors with , , . This new parametrization of orbits implies that the MICZ-Kepler orbits of different magnetic charges are related to each other by symmetries: \emph{ acts transitively on both the set of oriented elliptic MICZ-Kepler orbits and the set of oriented parabolic MICZ-Kepler orbits}. This action extends to , the \emph{structure group} for the rank-two Euclidean Jordan algebra whose underlying Lorentz space is the Minkowski space.
