Lorentz transformation and vector field flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
The parameter changes resulting from a combination of Lorentz transformation are shown to form vector field flows. The exact, finite Thomas rotation angle is determined and interpreted intuitively. Using phase portraits, the parameters evolution can be clearly visualized. In addition to identifying the fixed points, we obtain an analytic invariant, which correlates the evolution of parameters.

From the Lorentz Transformation Group in Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces to Bi-gyrogroups
The Lorentz transformation of order $(m=1,n)$, $ninNb$, is the well-known Lorentz transformation of special relativity theory. It is a transformation of time-space coordinates of the pseudo-Euclidean space $Rb^{m=1,n}$ of one time dimension and $n$ space dimensions ($n=3$ in physical applications). A Lorentz transformation without rotations is called a {it boost}. Commonly, the ...
متن کامل0 Se p 20 04 Derivation of the Lorentz Force Law , the Magnetic Field Concept and the Faraday - Lenz Law using an Invariant Formulation of the Lorentz Transformation
It is demonstrated how the right hand sides of the Lorentz Transformation equations may be written, in a Lorentz invariant manner, as 4–vector scalar products. This implies the existence of invariant length intervals analagous to invariant proper time intervals. This formalism, making essential use of the 4-vector electromagnetic potential concept, provides a short derivation of the Lorentz for...
متن کاملTranslation Surfaces of the Third Fundamental Form in Lorentz-Minkowski Space
In this paper we study translation surfaces with the non-degenerate third fundamental form in Lorentz- Minkowski space $mathbb{L}^{3}$. As a result, we classify translation surfaces satisfying an equation in terms of the position vector field and the Laplace operator with respect to the third fundamental form $III$ on the surface.
متن کاملLorentz transformation as a problem of vector field flow Shao
We study the Lorentz transformation as a vector field flow problem using the 2×2 spinor algebra. The exact, finite Thomas rotation angle is determined and interpreted intuitively. We also establish an invariant and examine the general features of the Lorentz transformation using the phase portraits of the parameters.
