Abstract:
We apply the technique of Hamiltonian reduction for the construction of three-dimensional N=4{\cal N}=4 supersymmetric mechanics specified by the presence of a Dirac monopole. For this purpose we take the conventional N=4{\cal N}=4 supersymmetric mechanics on the four-dimensional conformally-flat spaces and perform its Hamiltonian reduction to three-dimensional system. We formulate the final system in the canonical coordinates, and present, in these terms, the explicit expressions of the Hamiltonian and supercharges. We show that, besides a magnetic monopole field, the resulting system is specified by the presence of a spin-orbit coupling term. A comparison with previous work is also carried out.
