Holographic special relativity [PDF]
We reinterpret special relativity, or more precisely its de Sitter deformation, in terms of 3d conformal geometry, as opposed to (3+1)d spacetime geometry. An inertial observer, usually described by a geodesic in spacetime, becomes instead a choice of ways to reverse the conformal compactification of a Euclidean vector space up to scale. The observer's

Nonlocal special relativity [PDF]
AbstractIn the special theory of relativity, Lorentz invariance is extended in Minkowski spacetime from ideal inertial observers to actual observers by means of the hypothesis of locality, which postulates that accelerated observers are always pointwise inertial.

Quaternions and special relativity [PDF]
We reformulate Special Relativity by a quaternionic algebra on reals. Using real linear quaternions, we show that previous difficulties, concerning the appropriate transformations on the 3+1 space–time, may be overcome. This implies that a complexified quaternionic version of Special Relativity is a choice and not a necessity.

Doubly Special Relativity: A New Relativity or Not [PDF]
Double Special Relativity theories are the relativistic theories in which the transformations between inertial observers are characterized by two observer-independent scales of the light speed and the Planck length. We study two main examples of these theories and want to show that these theories are not the new theories of relativity, but only are re ...

Discussions on Special and General Relativity Model
In this study, the Michelson–Morley experiment and the result of this experiment (the speed of light appears to be the same in all directions) were explored.

The principle of relativity and the special relativity triple [PDF]
Based on the principle of relativity and the postulate on universal invariant constants ($c,l$) as well as Einstein's isotropy conditions, three kinds of special relativity form a triple with a common Lorentz group as isotropy group under full Umov-Weyl-Fock-Lorentz transformations among inertial motions.

Symmetry and Special Relativity [PDF]
We explore the role of symmetry in the theory of Special Relativity. Using the symmetry of the principle of relativity and eliminating the Galilean transformations, we obtain a universally preserved speed and an invariant metric, without assuming the constancy of the speed of light.

Moving Unstable Particles and Special Relativity
In Poincaré-Wigner-Dirac theory of relativistic interactions, boosts are dynamical. This means that, just like time translations, boost transformations have a nontrivial effect on internal variables of interacting systems.

Renormalization of Very Special Relativity gauge theories
Mandelstam-Leibbrandt (ML) regularization of Very Special Relativity (VSR) amplitudes in momentum space depends on two fixed null vectors n μ , n ¯ μ $$ {\overline{n}}_{\mu } $$ besides external momenta. ML is known to preserve gauge invariance and naive
