Abstract
We consider the Lorentz force equation in the physically relevant case of a singular electric field . Assuming that and are -periodic in time and satisfy suitable further conditions, we prove the existence of infinitely many -periodic solutions. The proof is based on a min-max principle of Lusternik-Schrelmann type, in the framework of non-smooth critical point theory. Applications are given to the problem of the motion of a charged particle under the action of a Li\'enard-Wiechert potential and to the relativistic forced Kepler problem.
