Relativistic velocity space, Wigner rotation and Thomas precession
We develop a relativistic velocity space called rapidity space from the single assumption of Lorentz invariance, and use it to visualize and calculate effects resulting from the successive application of non-colinear Lorentz boosts. In particular, we show how rapidity space provides a geometric approach to Wigner rotation and Thomas precession in the same way that spacetime provides a geometric...
متن کاملThomas precession angle and spinor algebra
We present an alternative derivation of the Thamos precession angle. Using Pauli matrices, the finite precession angle can be computed exactly. We also discuss a new physical interpretation of the precession angle. Email address: [email protected] Email address: [email protected]
متن کاملGravitational Thomas Precession -a Gravitomagnetic Effect ?
Gravitational Thomas Precession ( GTP ) is the name given to the Thomas Precession when the acceleration is caused by a gravitational force field. In continuation of our discussion on the idea of a GTP, in this note by way of considering the motion of a planet around the Sun, the GTP is shown to be a gravitomagnetic effect that a planet might experience while moving through a gravitational fiel...
متن کامل0 Thomas Precession, Berry potential and the Meron.
We begin with a prior observation by one of us that Thomas precession in the nonrelativistic limit of the Dirac equation may be attributed to a nonabelian Berry vector potential. We ask what object produces the nonabelian potential in parameter space, in the same sense that the abelian vector potential arising in the adiabatic transport of a nondegenerate level is produced by a monopole, (cente...
متن کاملThe minimum area, the flux tube, and Thomas precession
Quark confinement in Buchmüller’s picture of a rotating flux tube is reconsidered in the context of a minimum area evaluation of the Wilson loop. The question is asked whether resulting spin independent dynamics are consistent with Thomas precessional spin dependence leading from electric confinement. The answer appears to be in the negative; self-consistency of the picture found in the literat...
