Wong's equations in Yang-Mills theory
Abstract
We derive Wong's equations for the finite-dimensional dynamical system representing the motion of a scalar particle on a compact Riemannian manifold with a given free isometric smooth action of a compact semisimple Lie group. The obtained equations are written in terms of dependent coordinates which are typically used in an implicit description of the local dynamics given on the orbit space of the principal fiber bundle. Using these equations we obtain Wong's equations in a pure Yang--Mills gauge theory with the Coulomb gauge fixing. This result is based on the existing analogy between the reduction procedures carried out in our finite-dimensional dynamical system and in Yang-Mills gauge fields.
