Discrete Symmetries of Off-Shell Electromagnetism
This paper discusses the discrete symmetries of off-shell electromagnetism, the Stueckelberg-Schrodinger relativistic quantum theory and its associated 5D local gauge theory. Seeking a dynamical description of particle/antiparticle interactions, Stueckelberg developed a covariant mechanics with a monotonically increasing Poincaréinvariant parameter. In Stueckelberg’s framework, worldlines are t...
متن کاملSymmetries of Contact Metric Manifolds
We study the Lie algebra of infinitesimal isometries on compact Sasakian and K–contact manifolds. On a Sasakian manifold which is not a space form or 3– Sasakian, every Killing vector field is an infinitesimal automorphism of the Sasakian structure. For a manifold with K–contact structure, we prove that there exists a Killing vector field of constant length which is not an infinitesimal automor...
متن کاملUnified Description of Gravitation and Electromagnetism through a Symmetric Metric
If gravitation and electromagnetism are both described in terms of a symmetric metric tensor, then the deflection of an electron beam by a charged sphere should be different from its deflection according to the Reissner-Nordstrøm solution of General Relativity. If such a unified description is true, the equivalence principle for the electric field implies that the photon has a nonzero effective...
متن کاملThe Symmetries of the $\pi$-metric
Let V be an n-dimensional vector space over a finite field Fq. We consider on V the π-metric dπ recently introduced by K. Feng, L. Xu and F. J. Hickernell. In this paper we give a complete description of the group of symmetries of the metric space (V, dπ).
متن کاملOn the Symmetries of theEdgar-Ludwig Metric
The conformal Killing equations for the most general (nonplane wave) conformally flat pure radiation field are solved to find the conformal Killing vectors. As expected fifteen independent conformal Killing vectors exist, but in general the metric admits no Killing or homothetic vectors. However for certain special cases a one-dimensional group of homotheties or motions may exist and in one ver...
