Transformation Properties of Classical and Quantum Laws under Some Nonholonomic Spacetime Transformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonrelativistic Newton and Schrödinger equations remain correct not only under holonomic but also under nonholonomic transformations of the spacetime coordinates. Here we study the properties of transformations which are holonomic in the space coordinates while additionally tranforming the time in a path-dependent way. This makes them nonholonomic in spacetime. The resulting transformation formulas of physical quantities establish relations between different physical systems. Furthermore we point out certain differential-geometric features of these relations.

Quantum Mechanics on a Noncommutative Geometry
Quantum mechanics in its presently known formulation requires an external classical time for its description. A classical spacetime manifold and a classical spacetime metric are produced by classical matter fields. In the absence of such classical matter fields, quantum mechanics should be formulated without reference to a classical time. If such a new formulation exists, it follows as a conseq...

We consider open dynamical systems, subject to external interventions by agents that are not completely described by the theory (classical or quantal). These interventions are localized in regions that are relatively spacelike. Under these circumstances, no relativistic transformation law exists that relates the descriptions of the physical system by observers in relative motion. Still, physica...

A simple mapping procedure is presented by which classical orbits and path integrals for the motion of a point particle in flat space can be transformed directly into those in curved space with torsion. Our procedure evolved from well-established methods in the theory of plastic deformations, where crystals with defects are described mathematically as images of ideal crystals under active nonho...

متن کاملSUq(n) Gauge Theory
A field theory with local transformations belonging to the quantum group SUq(n) is defined on a classical spacetime. Gauge transformations for the potentials are given which lead to the appropriate quantum-group transformations for field strengths and covariant derivatives, and gaugeinvariant commutation relations are identified.
