Introducing a radially dependent magnetic field into Newton's off-center circular orbits potential so as to preserve the $E=0$ dynamical symmetry leads to a unique choice of field that can be identified as the inclusion of a magnetic monopole in the inverse stereographically projected problem. One finds also a phenomenological correspondence with that of the linearly damped Kepler model. The presence of the monopole field deforms the symmetry algebra by a central extension, and the quantum mechanical version of this algebra reveals a number of zero modes equal to that counted using the index theorem of elliptic operators.

    Zero-energy trajectories of V=−α/(R²−r²)² are arcs of Euclidean circles orthogonal to r=R (force center outside), with on-shell so(2,1) symmetry, inversion duality, and magnetic classification at Q²=8mαR².

    math-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Zero-energy orbits of V=−α/(R²−r²)² are hyperbolic geodesics (orthogonal circle arcs) with an SO(2,1) Runge–Lenz map, inversion duality, and a magnetic circle–horocycle–hypercycle trichotomy at Q²=8mαR².
