Algebraic and geometric structures of Special Relativity
I review, on an advanced level, some of the algebraic and geometric structures that underlie the theory of Special Relativity. This includes a discussion of relativity as a symmetry principle, derivations of the Lorentz group, its composition law, its Lie algebra, comparison with the Galilei group, Einstein synchronization, the lattice of causally and chronologically complete regions in Minkows...
متن کاملSpecial Relativity from Soft Gravitons
We study all translationally and rotationally invariant local theories involving massless spin 2 and spin 1 particles that mediate long range forces, allowing for general energy relations and violation of boost invariance. Although gauge invariance is not a priori required to describe non Lorentz invariant theories, we first establish that locality requires ‘soft gauge invariance’. Then by taki...
متن کاملVIEWPOINT Relativity Gets Thorough
O n September 14, 2015, the LIGO interferometers made the first direct measurement of gravitational waves [1]. The historic discovery came nearly 100 years after Einstein showed that his general relativity theory predicts the existence of gravitational waves and over 50 years since the first quest to observe the Universe in gravitational waves [2]. The observed event, labeled GW150914, was the ...
متن کاملA logic road from special relativity to general relativity
We present a streamlined axiom system of special relativity in first-order logic. From this axiom system we “derive” an axiom system of general relativity in two natural steps. We will also see how the axioms of special relativity transform into those of general relativity. This way we hope to make general relativity more accessible for the non-specialist.
متن کاملSpecial Relativity
References 43 Index 45 ii Preface For me, the wonder of special relativity lies in its successful prediction of interesting and very nonintuitive phenomena from simple arguments with simple premises. These notes have three (perhaps ambitious) aims: (a) to introduce undergraduates to special relativity from its founding principle to its varied consequences, (b) to serve as a reference for those ...
