Geodesic Multiplication and Quantum Kinematics in a Newtonian Spacetime
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a quantum test particle in the background of a Newtonian gravitational field in the framework of Cartan’s formulation of nonrelativistic spacetime. We have proposed a novel quantization of a point particle which amounts to introducing its position operators as multiplication with the corresponding Riemann normal coordinates and momentum operators as infinitesimal right translation operators determined by geodesic multiplication of points of the spacetime. We present detailed calculations for the simplest model of a two-dimensional Newtonian spacetime.

We use Fermi coordinates to calculate the canonical partition function for an ideal gas in a circular geodesic orbit in Schwarzschild spacetime. To test the validity of the results we prove theorems for limiting cases. We recover the Newtonian gas law subject only to tidal forces in the Newtonian limit. Additionally we recover the special relativistic gas law as the radius of the orbit increase...
متن کاملGeodesics in Lewis Spacetime
The geodesic equations are integrated for the Lewis metric and the effects of the different parameters appearing in the Weyl class on the motion of test particles are brought out. Particular attention deserves the appearance of a force parallel to the axial axis and without Newtonian analogue.
متن کاملGeodesic multiplication as a tool for classical and quantum gravity
Algebraic systems called the local geodesic loops and their tangent Akivis algebras are considered. Their possible role in theory of gravity is considered. Quantum conditions for the infinitesimal quantum events are proposed.
متن کاملGravity and the Quantum Vacuum Inertia Hypothesis I. Formalized Groundwork for Extension to Gravity
It has been shown [1,2] that the electromagnetic quantum vacuum makes a contribution to the inertial mass, mi, in the sense that at least part of the inertial force of opposition to acceleration, or inertia reaction force, springs from the electromagnetic quantum vacuum (see also [3] for an earlier attempt). Specifically, in the previously cited work, the properties of the electromagnetic quant...
متن کاملEpicyclic orbital oscillations in Newton’s and Einstein’s gravity from the geodesic deviation equation
In a recent paper Abramowicz and Kluźniak [1] have discussed the problem of epicyclic oscillations in Newton’s and Einstein’s dynamics and have shown that Newton’s dynamics in a properly curved three-dimensional space is identical to testbody dynamics in the three-dimensional optical geometry of Schwarzschild spacetime. One of the main results of this paper was the proof that different behaviou...
