On free Lie algebras and particles in electro-magnetic fields.

2019 
The Poincar\'e algebra can be extended (non-centrally) to the Maxwell algebra and beyond. These extensions are relevant for describing particle dynamics in electro-magnetic backgrounds and possibly including the backreaction due the presence of multipoles. We point out a relation of this construction to free Lie algebras that gives a unified description of all possible kinematic extensions, leading to a symmetry algebra that we call Maxwell${}_\infty$. A specific dynamical system with this infinite symmetry is constructed and analysed.
