Abstract

For the Jordan algebra of hermitian matrices of order n2n\ge 2, we let XX be its submanifold consisting of rank-one semi-positive definite elements. The composition of the cotangent bundle map πX\pi_X: TXXT^*X\to X with the canonical map XCPn1X\to \mathbb{C}P^{n-1} (i.e., the map that sends a hermitian matrix to its column space), pulls back the K\"{a}hler form of the Fubini-Study metric on CPn1\mathbb{C}P^{n-1} to a real closed differential two-form ωK\omega_K on TXT^*X. Let ωX\omega_X be the canonical symplectic form on TXT^*X and μ\mu be a real number. A standard fact says that ωμ:=ωX+2μωK\omega_\mu:=\omega_X+2\mu\,\omega_K turns TXT^*X into a symplectic manifold, hence a Poisson manifold with Poisson bracket {,}μ\{\, ,\,\}_\mu. In this article we exhibit a Poisson realization of the simple real Lie algebra su(n,n)\mathfrak {su}(n, n) on the Poisson manifold (TX,{,}μ)(T^*X, \{\, ,\,\}_\mu), i.e., a Lie algebra homomorphism from su(n,n)\mathfrak {su}(n, n) to (C(TX,R),{,}μ)\left(C^\infty(T^*X, \mathbb R), \{\, ,\,\}_\mu\right). Consequently one obtains the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector for the classical U(1)\mathrm{U}(1)-Kepler problem with level nn and magnetic charge μ\mu. Since the McIntosh-Cisneros-Zwanziger-Kepler problems (MICZ-Kepler Problems) are the U(1)\mathrm{U}(1)-Kepler problems with level 22, the work presented here is a direct generalization of the work by A. Barut and G. Bornzin [ J. Math. Phys. 12\bf 12 (1971), 841-843] on the classical dynamic symmetry for the MICZ-Kepler problems.
