Abstract

We study a charged particle in an electromagnetic field without kinetic or potential term. Although dynamically trivial, this system is interesting because it has an infinite dimensional symmetry group. We discuss the way in which this group behaves under quantization. In certain cases we find that it is related to higher spin algebras.
