Lie Particle And Its Batalin-Tyutin Extension

In this Letter we have proposed a point particle model that generates a noncommutative three-space, with the coordinate brackets being Lie algebraic in nature. The work is in the spirit of our earlier works in this connection, i.e., PLB 618 (2005)243 and PLB 623 (2005)251. This non-linear and operatorial nature of the configuration space coordinate algebra can pose problems regarding its quantization. This prompts us to embed the model in the Batalin-Tyutin extended space where the equivalent model comprises of phase space variables satisfying a canonical algebra
