Global Symmetries of the Kepler Problem
Abstract
The global symmetry transformations generated by Runge-Lenz vector of twodimensional Kepler problem are explicitly described. They are given in terms of SU(2) left group multiplication with group elements being suitably parametrized by phase space points. The resulting non-linear action of SU(2) on the phase space is characterized in terms of the theory of nonlinear realizations developed in Phys. Rev. 177 (1969) 2239.
