Very Special Relativity in Curved Space-Times
نویسنده
چکیده
The generalization of Cohen and Glashow’s Very Special Relativity to curved space-times is considered. Gauging the SIM(2) symmetry does not, in general, provide the coupling to the gravitational background. However, locally SIM(2) invariant Lagrangians can always be constructed. For space-times with SIM(2) holonomy, they describe chiral fermions propagating freely as massive particles.

The Principle of Relativity: From Ungar’s Gyrolanguage for Physics to Weaving Computation in Mathematics
This paper extends the scope of algebraic computation based on a non standard $times$ to the more basic case of a non standard $+$, where standard means associative and commutative. Two physically meaningful examples of a non standard $+$ are provided by the observation of motion in Special Relativity, from either outside (3D) or inside (2D or more), We revisit the ``gyro''-theory ...
متن کاملIntroduction to Tensor Calculus for General Relativity
There are three essential ideas underlying general relativity (GR). The first is that spacetime may be described as a curved, four-dimensional mathematical structure called a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. In brief, time and space together comprise a curved fourdimensional non-Euclidean geometry. Consequently, the practitioner of GR must be familiar with the fundamental geometrical properties of c...

Gravitational waves are the last unconfirmed prediction of the general relativity. These waves are tiny fluctuations in world frame that dessipate energy throghout space. The gravitatinal waves spectra of fluctuations can be originated from the non-linear effects during different cosmic evolution periods, especially from initially non-linear and excited vacuum state in the very early universe. ...
متن کاملWhat Is Categorical Relativity?
The categorical relativity is a groupoid category of massive bodies in mutual motions. The relative velocity is defined to be the basis-free and coordinate-free binary morphism. In categorical relativity there is no need to distinguish separately the constant relative velocities (special relativity) from the variable accelerated velocities, hence the categorical relativity goes beyond boundary ...

A new formalism for spinors on curved spaces is developed in the framework of variational calculus on fibre bundles. The theory has the same structure of a gauge theory and describes the interaction between the gravitational field and spinors. An appropriate gauge structure is also given to General Relativity, replacing the metric field with spin frames. Finally, conserved quantities and superp...
