Worldine deviations and epicycles
In general relativity, only relative acceleration has an observer-independend meaning: curvature and non-gravitational forces determine the rate at which world lines of test bodies diverge or converge. We derive the equations governing both in the conventional geometric formalism as well as using the background field method. This allows us to generalize the results to test bodies with charge an...
متن کاملMotions and world-line deviations in Einstein-Maxwell theory
We examine the motion of charged particles in gravitational and electro-magnetic background fields. We study in particular the deviation of world lines, describing the relative acceleration between particles on different space-time trajectories. Two special cases of background fields are considered in detail: (a) pp-waves, a combination of gravitational and electro-magnetic polarized plane wave...
متن کامل1 Dynamics or Representational Epicycles ?
The stated objective of Cognitive Dynamics is to defend the representational/ computational theory (R/CT) in cognitive science against various criticisms. Starting from the view that R/CT is the best theory we have, the book attempts to meet the challenges posed by cognitive dynamics, embodied cognition, and situated action to convince the reader that these issues can be handled by R/CT. The au...
متن کاملFermions and world-line supersymmetry
The world-line path-integral representation of fermion propagators is discussed. Particular attention is paid to the representation of γ5, which is connected to the realization of manifest world-line supersymmetry. Contribution to Proceedings of 29th Int. Symposium on the Theory of Elementary Particles Buckow (1995) Introduction The path-integral representation of the evolution operator of dyna...
متن کاملWorld-line of Photon World-line of Polarizer Locality, Independence and the Pro-liberty Bell
Bell’s Theorem requires the assumption that the values of hidden variables are statistically independent of future measurement settings. This Independence Assumption (IA) is normally taken for granted, though Bell himself sometimes considered relaxing it, as a way of defending locality. On balance he regarded such a move as even less attractive than non-locality, however—this despite the fact t...
