Special Relativity in Reduced Power Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, [10,11], the Heisenberg Uncertainty relation and the NoCloning property in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation, respectively, have been extended to versions of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation which are re-formulated using scalars in reduced power algebras, [2-9], instead of the usual real or complex scalars. Here, the Lorentz coordinate transformations, fundamental in Special Relativity, are extended to versions of Special Relativity that are similarly re-formulated in terms of scalars in reduced power algebras, instead of the usual real or complex scalars. The interest in such re-formulations of basic theories of Physics are due to a number of important reasons, [2-11]. Suffice to mention two of them : the difficult problem of so called ”infinities in Physics” falls easily aside due to the presence of infinitesimal and infinitely large scalars in such reduced power algebras, and the issue of fundamental constants in physics, like Planck’s h, or the velocity of light c, comes under a new focus which offers rather surprising alternatives. 1.

Galilean Relativity and Einstein's Special and General Relativity showed that the Laws of Physics go deeper than their representations in any given reference frame. Thus covariance, or independence of Laws of Physics with respect to changes of reference frames became a fundamental principle. So far, all of that has only been expressed within one single mathematical model, namely, the traditiona...
متن کاملκ-Minkowski Spacetimes and DSR Algebras: Fresh Look and Old Problems
Some classes of Deformed Special Relativity (DSR) theories are reconsidered within the Hopf algebraic formulation. For this purpose we shall explore a minimal framework of deformed Weyl–Heisenberg algebras provided by a smash product construction of DSR algebra. It is proved that this DSR algebra, which uniquely unifies κ-Minkowski spacetime coordinates with Poincaré generators, can be obtained...
متن کاملTfHE OCTONIONS
The octonions are the largest of the four normed division algebras. While somewhat neglected due to their nonassociativity, they stand at the crossroads of many interesting fields of mathematics. Here we describe them and their relation to Clifford algebras and spinors, Bott periodicity, projective and Lorentzian geometry, Jordan algebras, and the exceptional Lie groups. We also touch upon thei...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملArens Regularity and Weak Amenability of Certain Matrix Algebras
Motivated by an Arens regularity problem, we introduce the concepts of matrix Banach space and matrix Banach algebra. The notion of matrix normed space in the sense of Ruan is a special case of our matrix normed system. A matrix Banach algebra is a matrix Banach space with a completely contractive multiplication. We study the structure of matrix Banach spaces and matrix Banach algebras. Then we...
