Relativistic kinematics beyond Special Relativity

, 2012
In the context of departures from Special Relativity written as a momentum power expansion in the inverse of an ultraviolet energy scale M, we derive the constraints that the relativity principle imposes between coefficients of a deformed composition law,

Generalised Einstein mass-variation formulae: I Subluminal relative frame velocities

Results in Physics, 2016
Much of the formalism in special relativity is intimately bound up with Einstein’s formula for the variation of mass m with its velocity v, namely m(v)=m0∗[1-(v/c)2]-1/2, where m is the mass, v the velocity, c denotes the speed of light and m0∗ denotes ...

"Mysteries" of modern physics and the fundamental constants c, h, and G

Quanta, 2022
We review how the kinematic structures of special relativity and quantum mechanics both stem from the relativity principle, i.e., "no preferred reference frame" (NPRF). Essentially, NPRF applied to the measurement of the speed of light c gives the light

Design, analysis and reformulation of a didactic sequence for teaching the special theory of relativity in high school

Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física
In this work, we design, implement and analyze a didactic sequence for the teaching of the basic topics of special relativity theory in high school. The sequence proposes a series of situations, specially designed to allow the emergence of the central ...

The existence of superluminal particles is consistent with the kinematics of Einstein's special theory of relativity

, 2013
Within an axiomatic framework of kinematics, we prove that the existence of faster than light particles is logically independent of Einstein's special theory of relativity.

The Function of the Second Postulate in Special Relativity [PDF]

, 2016
Many authors noted that the principle of relativity, together with space-time symmetries, suffices to derive Lorentz-like coordinate transformations between inertial frames.

Special Relativity

, 2008
Abstract This chapter begins with a discussion of Newton's mechanics. It then covers Maxwell's equations, Minkowski spacetime, Poincaré group, Lorentz group, special relativity, Newtonian law, relativistic law, equivalence of mass and energy, and continuous matter.

Special Relativity from Soft Gravitons

, 2017
We study all translationally and rotationally invariant local theories involving massless spin 2 and spin 1 particles that mediate long range forces, allowing for general energy relations and violation of boost invariance.

Numerical Hydrodynamics in Special Relativity

Living Reviews in Relativity, 2003
This review is concerned with a discussion of numerical methods for the solution of the equations of special relativistic hydrodynamics (SRHD). Particular emphasis is put on a comprehensive review of the application of high-resolution shock-capturing ...
