Galilei-invariant equations for massive fields

چکیده
Galilei-invariant equations for massive fields with various spins have been found and classified. They have been derived directly, i.e., by using requirement of the Galilei invariance and various facts on representations of the Galilei group deduced in the paper written by de Montigny M, Niederle J and Nikitin A G, J. Phys. A 39, 1-21, 2006. A completed list of non-equivalent Galileiinvariant wave equations for vector and scalar fields is presented. It shows two things. First that the collection of such equations is very broad and describes many physically consistent systems. In particular it is possible to describe spin-orbit and Darwin couplings in frames of Galilei-invariant approach. Second, these Galilei-invariant equations can be obtained either via contraction of known relativistic equations or via contractions of quite new relativistic wave equations.

Nonlinear Evolution Equations Invariant Under Schrödinger Group in three-dimensional Space-time
A classification of all possible realizations of the Galilei, Galilei-similitude and Schrödinger Lie algebras in three dimensional space-time in terms of vector fields under the action of the group of local diffeomorphisms of the space R3 × C is presented. Using this result a variety of general second order evolution equations invariant under the corresponding groups are constructed and their p...
متن کاملCentrally Extended Conformal Galilei Algebras and Invariant Nonlinear PDEs
We construct, for any given ` = 1 2 + N0, second-order nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) which are invariant under the transformations generated by the centrally extended conformal Galilei algebras. This is done for a particular realization of the algebras obtained by coset construction and we employ the standard Lie point symmetry technique for the construction of PDEs. It is obs...

A ‘covariant’ field that transforms like a relativistic field operator is required to be a linear combination of ‘canonical’ fields that transform like annihilation and creation operators and with invariant coefficients. The Invariant Coefficient Hypothesis contends that this familiar construction by itself yields useful results. Thus, just the transformation properties are considered here, not...
متن کاملA Chern-Simons approach to Galilean quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions
We define and discuss classical and quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions in the Galilean limit. Although there are no Newtonian forces between massive objects in (2+1)dimensional gravity, the Galilean limit is not trivial. Depending on the topology of spacetime there are typically finitely many topological degrees of freedom as well as topological interactions of Aharonov-Bohm type between massive...
متن کامل`-oscillators from second-order invariant PDEs of the centrally extended conformal Galilei algebras
We construct, for any given ` = 12 + N0, the second-order, linear PDEs which are invariant under the centrally extended Conformal Galilei Algebra. At the given `, two invariant equations in one time and ` + 12 space coordinates are obtained. The first equation possesses a continuum spectrum and generalizes the free Schrödinger equation (recovered for ` = 12) in 1 + 1 dimension. The second equat...
