Do Small-mass Neutrinos participate in Gauge Transformations?
Neutrino oscillation experiments presently suggest that neutrinos have a small but finite mass. If neutrinos are to have mass, there should be a Lorentz frame in which they can be brought to rest. This paper discusses how Wigner’s little groups can be used to distinguish between massive and massless particles. We derive a representation of the SL(2,c) group which separates out the two sets of s...
متن کاملDo Neutrinos Have Mass Only within Matter?
We look at the possibility that appreciable neutrino masses and flavor mixing occur only within material media, driven by an interaction between leptons and a very light scalar particle. Limits are placed on the scalar particle mass and coupling constants from a number of experimental and astrophysical considerations. 1.Introduction. The recent results on atmospheric neutrinos [1]-[4] offer a p...
متن کاملMass Superselection , Canonical Gauge Transformations , and Asymptotically Flat Variational Principles
The phase space reduction of Schwarzschild black holes by Thiemann and Kastrup and by Kuchař is reexamined from a different perspective on gauge freedom. This perspective introduces additional gauge transformations which correspond to asymptotically nontrivial diffeomorphisms. Various subtleties concerning variational principles for asymptotically flat systems are addressed which allow us to av...
متن کاملConformal Gauge Transformations in Thermodynamics
In this work, we show that the thermodynamic phase space is naturally endowed with a non-integrable connection, defined by all of those processes that annihilate the Gibbs one-form, i.e., reversible processes. We argue that such a connection is invariant under re-scalings of the connection one-form, whilst, as a consequence of the non-integrability of the connection, its curvature is not and, t...
متن کاملGauge transformations and quasitriangularity
Natural conditions on a Poisson/quantum group G to implement Poisson/quantum gauge transformations on the lattice are investigated. In addition to our previous result that transformations on one lattice link require G to be coboundary, it is shown that for a sequence of links one needs a quasitriangular G. 0 Introduction: one link results Is it possible to formulate lattice (group valued) gauge...
