Space and time in special relativity [PDF]
In this review of the kinematic part of Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity, the physical meaning of the Lorentz Transformations is elucidated from basic physical facts that, although implicit in the formulation of the theory, are usually overlooked ...

Seiberg-Witten map for noncommutative super Yang-Mills theory
In this letter we derive the Seiberg-Witten map for noncommutative super Yang-Mills theory in Wess-Zumino gauge. Following (and using results of) hep-th/0108045 we split the observer Lorentz transformations into a covariant particle Lorentz ...

Superconformal Symmetry in Three-dimensions [PDF]
Three-dimensional N-extended superconformal symmetry is studied within the superspace formalism. A superconformal Killing equation is derived and its solutions are classified in terms of supertranslations, dilations, Lorentz transformations, R-symmetry ...

For a certain example of a "doubly special relativity theory" the modified space-time Lorentz transformations are obtained from momentum space transformations by using canonical methods.

Since the introduction of Special theory of Relativity (SR), Lorentz invariance has been a fundamental part of our description of nature. Over the past decades, this (Lorentz invariance) was tested and verified by many research groups and almost no ...

Lorentz transformations, sideways shift and massless spinning particles
Recently (Stone et al. (2015) [16]) the influence of the so called “Wigner translations” (more generally-Lorentz transformations) on circularly polarized Gaussian packets (providing the solution to Maxwell equations in paraxial approximation) has been ...

Origins of Hyperbolicity in Color Perception
In 1962, H. Yilmaz published a very original paper in which he showed the striking analogy between Lorentz transformations and the effect of illuminant changes on color perception. As a consequence, he argued that a perceived color space endowed with the

On Lorentz Invariant Complex Scalar Fields
We obtain a Lorentz covariant wave equation whose complex wave function transforms under a Lorentz boost according to the following rule, Ψx⟶ei/ℏfxΨx. We show that the spacetime-dependent phase fx is the most natural relativistic extension of the phase ...

Relativistic kinematics in flat and curved space-times
Almost immediately after the seminal papers of Poincaré (1905,1906) and Einstein (1905) on special relativity, wherein Poincaré established the full covariance of the Maxwell-Lorentz equations under the scale-extended Poincaré group and Einstein ...

Inertial frames without the relativity principle
Ever since the work of von Ignatowsky circa 1910 it has been known (if not always widely appreciated) that the relativity principle, combined with the basic and fundamental physical assumptions of locality, linearity, and isotropy, leads almost uniquely ...
