Geometrical particle models on 3D null curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
The simplest (2+1)-dimensional mechanical systems associated with light-like curves, already studied by Nersessian and Ramos, are reconsidered. The action is linear in the curvature of the particle path and the moduli spaces of solutions are completely exhibited in 3-dimensional Minkowski background, even when the action is not proportional to the pseudo-arc length of the trajectory. PACS numbers(s): 04.20.-q, 02.40.-k

Massive spinning particles and the geometry of null curves
We study the simplest geometrical particle model associated with null paths in fourdimensional Minkowski space-time. The action is given by the pseudo-arclength of the particle worldline. We show that the reduced classical phase space of this system coincides with that of a massive spinning particle of spin s = α/M , where M is the particle mass, and α is the coupling constant in front of the a...
متن کاملExtended Gauge Invariance in Geometrical Particle Models and the Geometry of W - Symmetry
We prove that particle models whose action is given by the integrated n-th curvature function over the world line possess n+ 1 gauge invariances. A geometrical characterization of these symmetries is obtained via Frenet equations by rephrasing the n-th curvature model in Rd in terms of a standard relativistic particle in Sd−n. We “prove by example” that the algebra of these infinitesimal gauge ...
متن کاملParticle with torsion on 3d null-curves
The search of Lagrangians, describing spinning particles, both massive and massless, has a long story. The conventional approach in this direction consists in the extension of the initial spacetime by auxiliary odd/even coordinates which equip a system with spinning degrees of freedom. There is another, less developed approach, where the spinning particle systems are described by the Lagrangian...
متن کاملSe p 20 07 CLOSED TRAJECTORIES OF A PARTICLE MODEL ON NULL CURVES IN ANTI - DE SITTER 3 - SPACE
We study the existence of closed trajectories of a particle model on null curves in anti-de Sitter 3-space defined by a functional which is linear in the curvature of the particle path. Explicit expressions for the trajectories are found and the existence of infinitely many closed trajectories is proved.
متن کاملSingularity analysis of pseudo null hypersurfaces and pseudo hyperbolic hypersurfaces
This paper introduces the notions of pseudo null curves in Minkowski 4-space. Meanwhile, some geometrical characterizations and the singularities of pseudo null hypersurfaces and pseudo hyperbolic hypersurfaces, which are generated by pseudo null curves, are considered in this paper. c ©2016 All rights reserved.
