Abstract
The Galilean covariance and the symmetry group for a charged particle
in planar motion is investigated. The well-known magnetic translation
symmetry is extended into a magnetic two-dimensional Euclidean symmetr
y. We establish that the symmetry holds more generally in the presence
of homogeneous magnetic and electric fields. The symmetry can have us
eful applications in solid-state physics.
