Abstract

The motion of charged particles in spacetimes containing a submanifold of constant positive or negative curvature is considered, with the electromagnetic tensor proportional to the volume two-form form of the submanifold. In the positive curvature case, this describes spherically symmetric spacetimes with a magnetic monopole, while in the negative curvature case, it is a hyperbolic spacetime with magnetic field uniform along hyperbolic surfaces. Constants of motion are found by considering Poisson brackets defined on a phase space with gauge-covariant momenta. In the spherically-symmetric case, we find a correspondence between the trajectories on the Poincar\'{e} cone with equatorial geodesics in a conical defect spacetime. In the hyperbolic case, the analogue of the Poincar\'{e} cone is defined as a surface in an auxiliary Minkowski spacetime. Explicit examples are solved for the Minkowski, $\mathrm{AdS}_4\times S^2$, and the hyperbolic AdS-Reissner--Nordstr\"{o}m spacetimes.<br />Comment: 34 pages, 8 figures.
