Abstract
The action of the Poincaré group on the phase space of two interacting relativistic particles is studied. Trajectories are defined by introducing two fixation constraints which, together with two first-class dynamical constraints, form a second-class system. By a projection followed by an injection, a pair of world lines are defined in Minkowski space. A world-line condition is determined by the commutation of the Poincaré transformation with the projection-injection map. The results are compared with those of our preceding paper.
