Equations of motion for a classical color particle in background non-Abelian fermionic and bosonic fields: Inclusion of pseudoclassical spin

A generalization of the Lagrangian introduced earlier in [2011 {\it J. Phys. G} ${\bf 37}$ 105001] for a classical color spinning particle interacting with background non-Abelian gauge and fermion fields for purpose of considering a change in time of the spin particle degree of freedom, is suggested. In the case under consideration the spin degree of freedom is described by a commuting $c$-number Dirac spinor $ψ_α$. A mapping of this spinor into new variables: anticommuting pseudovector $ξ_μ$ and pseudoscalar $ξ_5$ commonly used in a description of the spin degree of freedom of a massive spin-1/2 particle, is constructed. An analysis of one-to-one correspondence of this mapping is given. It is shown that for the one-to-one correspondence it is necessary to extend a class of real tensor quantities including besides $ξ_μ$ and $ξ_5$, also odd vector $\hatξ_μ$, scalar $\hatξ_5$, and (dual) pseudotensor $^{\ast}ζ_{μν}$. In addition, it is shown that it is necessary either to restrict a class of the initial spinor $ψ_α$ to Majorana one or to double the number of variables in the tensor aggregate $(ξ_μ,\,ξ_5,, ^{\ast}ζ_{μν},\,\hatξ_μ,\,\hatξ_5)$. Various special cases of the desired mapping are considered. In particular, a connection with the Lagrangian suggested by A.M. Polyakov, is studied. It is also offered the way of obtaining the supersymmetric Lagrangian in terms of the even $ψ_α$ and odd $θ_α$ spinors. The map of the Lagrandian leads to local SUSY Lagrangian in terms of $ξ_μ$ and $ξ_5$.

The equations of motion for a classical color particle in background non-Abelian bosonic and fermionic fields

Based on the most general principles of reality, gauge and reparametrization invariance, a problem of constructing the action describing dynamics of a classical color-charged particle interacting with background non-Abelian gauge and fermion fields is considered. The cases of the linear and quadratic dependence of a Lagrangian on a background fermion field are discussed. It is shown that in both cases in general there exists an infinite number of interaction terms, which should be included in the Lagrangian in question. From a simple iteration scheme, examples of the construction of the first few gauge-covariant currents and sources induced by a moving particle with non-Abelian charge are given. It is shown that these quantities, by a suitable choice of parameters, exactly reproduce additional currents and sources previously obtained in [Yu.A. Markov, M.A. Markova, Nucl. Phys. A 784 (2007) 443] on the basis of heuristic considerations.
