نویسنده
چکیده
The notions of stress and hyperstress are anchored in 3-dimensional continuum mechanics. Within the framework of the 4-dimensional spacetime continuum, stress and hyperstress translate into the energy-momentum and the hypermomentum current, respectively. These currents describe the inertial properties of classical matter fields in relativistic field theory. The hypermomentum current can be split into spin, dilation, and shear current. We discuss the conservation laws of momentum and hypermomentum and point out under which conditions the momentum current becomes symmetric.

A new type of nonlinear gauge quantum theory (superrelativity) has been proposed [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Such theory demands a radical reconstruction of the quantum field conception and spacetime structure, and this paves presumably way to the comprehension of the quantum nature of inertia.

We present a method to study the time variation of the orbital parameters of a Post–Keplerian binary system undergoing a generic external perturbation. The method is the relativistic extension of the planetary Lagrangian equations. The theory only assumes the smallness of the external perturbation while relativistic effects are already included in the unperturbed problem. This is the major adva...

A discussion of relativistic quantum–geometric mechanics on phase space and its gener-alisation to the propagation of free, massive, quantum–geometric scalar fields on curved spacetimes is given. It is shown that in an arbitrary coordinate system and frame of reference in a flat spacetime, the resulting propagator is necessarily the same as derived in the standard Minkowski coordinates up to a ...

Relativistic elasticity on an arbitrary spacetime is formulated as a Lagrangian field theory which is covariant under spacetime diffeomorphisms. This theory is the relativistic version of classical elasticity in the hyperelastic, materially frame-indifferent case and, on Minkowski space, reduces to the latter in the limit c → ∞. The field equations are cast into a first – order symmetric hyperb...

We investigate the possibility that the quantum theory of gravity could be constructed discretely using algebraic methods. The algebraic tools are similar to ones used in constructing Topological Quantum Field theories. The algebraic structures are related to ideas about the reinterpretation of quantum mechanics in a general relativistic context.
