Recursion Operator in a Noncommutative Minkowski Phase Space

Abstract

A recursion operator for a geodesic flow, in a noncommutative (NC) phase space endowed with a Minkowski metric, is constructed and discussed in this work. A NC Hamiltonian function ${\mathcal{H}}_{\mathrm{nc}}$ describing the dynamics of a free particle system in such a phase space, equipped with a noncommutative symplectic form ω_nc is defined. A related NC Poisson bracket is obtained. This permits to construct the NC Hamiltonian vector field, also called NC geodesic flow. Further, using a canonical transformation induced by a generating function from the Hamilton–Jacobi equation, we obtain a relationship between old and new coordinates, and their conjugate momenta. These new coordinates are used to re-write the NC recursion operator in a simpler form, and to deduce the corresponding constants of motion. Finally, all obtained physical quantities are re-expressed and analyzed in the initial NC canonical coordinates.
