The Lorentz Transformations [PDF]

open access: bronzeAustralian Journal of Physics, 1959
Sir Harold Jeffreys (1958) has asserted that my analysis of the clock paradox (Builder 1957) is based on concealed hypotheses; but the hypotheses to which he refers are ones that he claims are involved in the derivation of the Lorentz transformations and in the currently accepted methods of using them.

Factorization of the Lorentz transformations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The article shows how the factorization of an arbitrary Lorentz transformation is performed. That is, representation of an arbitrary Lorentz transformation as a sequence of spatial rotation and boost or boost and spatial rotation. Relations are obtained that determine the required boosts and turns.

Derivation of the Lorentz Force Law and the Magnetic Field Concept using an Invariant Formulation of the Lorentz Transformation [PDF]

open access: greenarXiv, 2003
It is demonstrated how the right hand sides of the Lorentz Transformation equations may be written, in a Lorentz invariant manner, as 4--vector scalar products. The formalism is shown to provide a short derivation, in which the 4--vector electromagnetic potential plays a crucial role, of the Lorentz force law of classical electrodynamics, and the ...

Derivation of transformation equations for the parameters that characterize a plane acoustic wave without using phase invariance and Lorentz-Einstein transformation [PDF]

open access: greenarXiv, 2005
We show that the transformation equations for the parameters that characterize a plane acoustic wave: period, (frequency), wave vector, wave length and phase velocity can be derived without using phase invariance and Lorentz-Einstein ...

The Lorentz Transformation [PDF]

open access: green, 2001
Traditionally, two postulates are put at the beginning of Special Relativity, from which all other results can be derived.

On the Lorentz Transformations of Momentum and Energy [PDF]

open access: greenModern Physics Letters A, 2003
Motivated by ultra-high-energy cosmic ray physics, we discuss all the possible alternatives to the familiar Lorentz transformations of the momentum and the energy of a particle. Starting from natural physical requirements, we exclude all the possibilities, apart from the ones which arise from the usual four-vector transformations by means of a change ...

Orthogonal decomposition of Lorentz transformations [PDF]

open access: yesGeneral Relativity and Gravitation, 2011
The canonical decomposition of a Lorentz algebra element into a sum of orthogonal simple (decomposable) Lorentz bivectors is discussed, as well as the decomposition of a proper orthochronous Lorentz transformation into a product of commuting Lorentz transformations, each of which is the exponential of a simple bivector.

Local Lorentz Transformation and "Lorentz Violation" [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2007
Some solutions to the anomalies of ultra high energy cosmic-ray(UHECR) and TeV $\gamma$-rays require disturbed non-quadratic dispersion relations, which suggest the Lorentz violation. Also, some new theories such as quantum gravity, string theory and the standard model extension imply the Lorentz violation.
