Homogeneity of spacetime implies the free Schrödinger equation
نویسنده
چکیده
The free Schrödinger equation is shown to be a consequence of spacetime homogeneity in the non-relativistic domain. This may help understand the origin of the wave equations in quantum theory.

Spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect flui...
متن کاملA Pseudoconformal Compactification of the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation and Applications
We interpret the lens transformation (a variant of the pseudoconformal transformation) as a pseudoconformal compactification of spacetime, which converts the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) without potential with a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with attractive harmonic potential. We then discuss how several existing results about NLS can be placed in this compactified setting, thus offeri...
متن کاملRigidity and Irregularity Effect on Surface Wave Propagation in a Fluid Saturated Porous Layer
The propagation of surface waves in a fluid- saturated porous isotropic layer over a semi-infinite homogeneous elastic medium with an irregularity for free and rigid interfaces have been studied. The rectangular irregularity has been taken in the half-space. The dispersion equation for Love waves is derived by simple mathematical techniques followed by Fourier transformations. It can be seen t...
متن کاملGLOBAL WELL-POSEDNESS AND SCATTERING FOR THE DEFOCUSING ENERGY-CRITICAL NONLINEAR SCHRÖDINGER EQUATION IN R1+4 By E. RYCKMAN and M. VISAN
We obtain global well-posedness, scattering, uniform regularity, and global L6 t,x spacetime bounds for energy-space solutions to the defocusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in R×R4. Our arguments closely follow those of Colliender, Hoel, et al., though our derivation of the frequency-localized interaction Morawetz estimate is somewhat simpler. As a consequence, our method yie...
متن کاملPhysical theories in Galilean space-time and the origin of Schrödinger-like equations
A method to develop physical theories of free particles in spacetime with the Galilean metric is presented. The method is based on a Principle of Analyticity and a Principle of Relativity, and uses the Galilei group of the metric. The first principle requires that state functions describing the particles are analytic and the second principle demands that dynamical equations for these functions ...
