Covariant Approach of the Dynamics of Particles in External Gauge Fields, Killing Tensors and Quantum Gravitational Anomalies

We give an overview of the first integrals of motion of particles in the presence of external gauge fields in a covariant Hamiltonian approach. The special role of Stäckel-Killing and Killing-Yano tensors is pointed out. Some nontrivial examples involving Runge-Lenz type conserved quantities are exp...
