The Bohlin variant of the Eisenhart lift
Anton Galajinsky
Abstract
Inspired by the Bohlin transformation relating the planar harmonic oscillator to the Kepler problem, a variant of the Eisenhart lift is studied, in which a Lagrangian conservative dynamical system with d degrees of freedom is embedded into timelike geodesics of a conformally flat metric on a (d+2)-dimensional space-time of the Lorentzian signature. The uplift is used to construct novel examples of conformally flat metrics admitting higher rank Killing tensors.
