Spin and Maximal Acceleration
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the spin current tensor of a Dirac particle at accelerations close to the upper limit introduced by Caianiello. Continual interchange between particle spin and angular momentum is possible only when the acceleration is time-dependent. This represents a stringent limit on the effect that maximal acceleration may have on spin physics in astrophysical applications. We also investigate some dynamical consequences of maximal acceleration.

A pr 1 99 8 Exact Gravitational Gauge Structures and the Dirac Equation ∗
Exact gauge structures arise in the evolution of spin-1 2 particles in conformally flat space-times. The corresponding Berry potentials can be Abelian or non-Abelian depending on the mass degeneracy of the system considered. Examples include de Sitter universes and maximal acceleration.
متن کاملOn Maximal-acceleration , Strings and the Group of Minimal Planck-area Relativity Theory
Recently we have presented a new physical model that links the maximum speed of light with the minimal Planck scale into a maximal-acceleration Relativity principle in phase spaces . The maximal proper-acceleration bound is a = c/Λ where Λ is the Planck scale. The group transformation laws of this Maximal-acceleration Relativity theory under velocity and acceleration boosts are analyzed in full...

The existence of a maximal acceleration for deterministic finsle-rian models at the Planck scale is argued. Possible phenomenological relativity groups O(1, 6), O(1, 7) and O(2, 6) are introduced from the perspective of finslerian deterministic models. The effect of maximal acceleration delaying the speed of light is studied. Finally, a mechanism generating maximal acceleration in connection wi...

The massless field perturbations of the accelerating Minkowski and Schwarzschild spacetimes are studied. The results are extended to the propagation of the Proca field in Rindler spacetime. We examine critically the possibility of existence of a general spin-acceleration coupling in complete analogy with the well-known spin-rotation coupling. We argue that such a direct coupling between spin an...
متن کاملThe Space-time Transformations Between Accelerated Systems
We determine transformations between coordinate systems which are mutually in linear accelerated motion. We also determine the transformations for rotating systems. In case of the symmetrical linear mutual acceleration, we immediately get the maximal acceleration limit which was derived by Caianiello from quantum mechanics. Maximal acceleration is an analogue of maximal velocity in special rela...
