Kepler dynamical symmetry algebra

ID: kepler-dynamical-symmetry-algebra

For , the angular momentum and Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector obey . On negative or positive energy regions use to obtain the compact or Lorentz Lie algebra, respectively. At zero energy the algebra on the characteristic orbit quotient is the Euclidean motion algebra. Global group actions require complete generators or collision regularization; simply replacing by a constant inside a Hamiltonian-vector-field derivative is not valid on the unreduced energy hypersurface.
