چکیده

In his conference given at the St Louis congress in 1904, Henri Poincaré wrote [1]: "Comme les astres proprement dits, [les atomes] s'attirent ou se repoussent et cette attraction (...) ne dépend que de la distance. La loi suivant laquelle cette force varie en fonction de la distance n'est peut-être pas la loi de Newton, mais c'est une loi analogue; au lieu de l'exposant –2, nous avons probablement un exposant différent, et c'est de ce changement d'exposant que sort toute la diversité des phénomènes physiques. (...) Telle est la conception primitive dans toute sa pureté. (...) Néanmoins, il est arrivé un jour où la conception des forces centrales n'a plus paru suffisante. Que fit-on alors ? On renonça à pénétrer dans le détail dans la structure de l'Univers, (...) et l'on se contenta de prendre pour guides certains principes généraux: (...) [conservation de l'énergie et de la masse, principe de Carnot, égalité de l'action et de la réaction, principe de relativité et principe de moindre action]. L'application de ces cinq ou six principes généraux aux différents phénomènes physiques suffit pour nous en apprendre ce que nous pouvons raisonnablement espérer en connaître1."

Scale relativity and gauge invariance∗

The theory of scale relativity extends Einstein’s principle of relativity to scale transformations of resolutions. It is based on the giving up of the axiom of differentiability of the space-time continuum. As a consequence, spacetime becomes fractal, i.e., explicitly resolution-dependent. The requirement that this geometry satisfies the principle of scale relativity leads to introduce scale la...

Scale relativity theory for one-dimensional non-differentiable manifolds

We discuss a rigorous foundation of the pure scale relativity theory for a one-dimensional space variable. We define several notions as ‘‘representation’’ of a continuous function, scale law and minimal resolution. We define precisely the meaning of a scale reference system and space reference system for non-differentiable one-dimensional manifolds. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Scale-Relativity Program∗

The theory of scale relativity is an attempt at developing the consequences of giving up the implicit hypothesis of space-time differentiability. One of these consequences is that space-time becomes fractal, i.e., explicitly resolution-dependent. The principle of relativity is extended in order to be also valid for scale transformations of space-time resolutions. In the present contribution, we...

The most intensive fluctuation in chaotic time series and relativity principle

Relativity principle in mechanics and principle of invariant speed of light lead to Einstein theory. The exponent of porder momentum, derived from a piece of multi-scale chaotic time series, varies with the order p and cannot exceeds a maximum, so there exists the principle of scale relativity. Its special case is the same one as Lorenz transformation from Einstein theory. 2002 Elsevier Science...

Doubly Special Relativity

I give a short non-technical review of the results obtained in recent work on “Doubly Special Relativity”, the relativistic theories in which the rotation/boost transformations between inertial observers are characterized by two observer-independent scales (the familiar velocity scale, c, and a new observer-independent length/momentum scale, naturally identified with the Planck length/momentum)...

Extensions (modifications) of the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle are derived within the framework of the theory of Special Scale-Relativity proposed by Nottale. In particular , generalizations of the Stringy Uncertainty Principle are obtained where the size of the strings is bounded by the Planck scale and the size of the Universe. Based on the fractal structures inherent with two dimensional...
