Possessing Local Relativistic Symmetry

چکیده
It is shown that the problem of a possible violation of the Lorentz transformations at Lorentz factors γ > 5×10 10 , indicated by the situation which has developed in the physics of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (the absence of the GZK cutoff), has a nontrivial solution. Its essence consists in the discovery of the so-called generalized Lorentz transformations which seem to correctly link the inertial reference frames at any values of γ. Like the usual Lorentz transformations, the generalized ones are linear, possess group properties and lead to the Einstein law of addition of 3-velocities. However, their geometric meaning turns out to be different: they serve as relativistic symmetry transformations of a flat anisotropic Finslerian event space rather than of Minkowski space. Consideration is given to two types of Finsler spaces which generalize locally isotropic Riemannian space-time of relativity theory, e. g. Finsler spaces with a partially and entirely broken local 3D isotropy. The investigation advances arguments for the corresponding generalization of the theory of fundamental interactions and for a specific search for physical effects due to local anisotropy of space-time.

Four-dimensional graphene and chiral fermions
Motivated by the description of the graphene electronic structure in terms of the relativistic Dirac equation, a generalization to four dimensions yields a strictly local fermion action describing two species and possessing an exact chiral symmetry. This is the minimum number of species required by the well known “no-go” theorems. PACS numbers: 11.15.Ha, 11.30.Rd, 71.10.Fd, 71.20.-b
متن کاملRelativistic Shells and Gamma-Ray Bursts
In many models of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) relativistic shells are responsible for the overall envelope of emission. We use kinematics and symmetry to calculate the time history and spectral evolution expected from a relativistic shell including effects from intrinsic variations in the shell’s intensity and spectra. We find that the decay phase of an envelope is produced by photons delayed by th...
متن کاملBroken Relativistic Symmetry Groups, Toroidal Moments and Superconductivity in Magnetoelectric Crystals
A connection between creation of toroidal moments and breaking of the relativistic crystalline group associated to a given crystal, is presented in this paper. Indeed, if magnetoelectric effects exist, the interaction between electrons and elementary magnetic cells appears in such a way that the resulting local polarization and magnetization break the local relativistic crystalline symmetry. Th...

Structure of singularities on the world sheets of relativistic strings
We show that relativistic strings of open and closed types in Minkowski space-time of dimension 3 and 4 have topologically stable singular points. This paper describes the structure of singularities, derives their normal forms, and introduces a local characteristic of singularity (topological charge), possessing a global law of conservation. Two other types of solutions (breaking and exotic str...
