Nonlocality of Accelerated Systems
Einstein’s general relativity provides a satisfactory description of gravitation at the classical level [1]; however, a theory of gravitation valid at the quantum level has been elusive. One way out of this situation would be to return to the physical foundations of general relativity and identify, from a physical standpoint, the main obstacle to quantization. The result of such an analysis [2-...
متن کاملLight Propagation For Accelerated Observers
We show that for an observer in translational, rotational or gravitational motion, a linearly polarized plane wave has two modes of propagation in a stationary, homogeneous and isotropic medium according to Hertz’s version of Maxwell’s theory. The first mode is characterized by polarization at right angles to the direction of propagation and has a phase velocity that is controlled by the materi...

متن کاملNeutrinos, Axions and Conformal Symmetry
We demonstrate that radiative breaking of conformal symmetry (and simultaneously electroweak symmetry) in the Standard Model with right-chiral neutrinos and a minimally enlarged scalar sector induces spontaneous breaking of lepton number symmetry, which naturally gives rise to an axion-like particle with some unusual features. The couplings of this ‘axion’ to Standard Model particles, in partic...
متن کاملExtended Conformal Symmetry
We show that the grading of fields by conformal weight, when built into the initial group symmetry, provides a discrete, non-central conformal extension of any group containing dilatations. We find a faithful vector representation of the extended conformal group and show that it has a scale-invariant scalar product and satisfies a closed commutator algebra. The commutator algebra contains the i...
