چکیده
In this introductory review article, we explore the special relativistic equations of particle motions and the consequent derivation of Einstein's famous formula E = mc 2. Next, we study the special relativistic electromagnetic field equations and generalizations of Lorentz equations of motion for charged particles. We then introduce the special relativistic gravitational field as a symmetric second order tensor field. Particle motions in the presence of static gravity are explored which could be used to study planetary dynamics, revealing perihelion shifts. Next, we investigate the system of consisting of pressureless plasmas and neutral perfect fluids coupled to the gravitational field. In that arena, we derive the relativistic Euler equation. Finally, we investigate the relativistic dynamics of a perfect fluid plasma and extensions to viscous flow and derive the relativistic Navier-Stokes equation.

We have studied the formation of relativistic solitary waves due to nonlinearinteraction of strong electromagnetic wave with the plasma wave.

متن کاملCosmology as Relativistic Particle Mechanics: From Big Crunch to Big Bang
Cosmological solutions of gravity coupled to scalar fields, with arbitrary scalar potential, were recently shown to be geodesics in an appropriately augmented, and conformally rescaled, target space. Here we obtain these geodesics as solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations of a relativistic particle action. As an application, we find some exact (flat and curved) cosmologies for models with N ...
متن کاملDynamics of Relativistic Solitons
Relativistic solitons are self-trapped, finite size, electromagnetic waves of relativistic intensity that propagate without diffraction spreading. They have been predicted theoretically within the relativistic fluid approximation, and have been observed in multi–dimensional particle in cell simulations of laser pulse interaction with the plasma. Solitons were observed in the laser irradiated pl...
متن کاملTowards a fully consistent relativistic quantum mechanics and a change of perspective on quantum gravity
This paper can be seen as an exercise in how to adapt quantum mechanics from a strict relativistic perspective while being respectful and critical towards the experimental achievements of the contemporary theory. The result is a fully observer independent relativistic quantum mechanics for N particle systems without tachyonic solutions. A remaining worry for the moment is Bell’s theorem.
