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

Demystifying the Lagrangians of special relativity [PDF]
Special relativity beyond its basic treatment can be inaccessible, in particular because introductory physics courses typically view special relativity as decontextualized from the rest of physics. We seek to place special relativity back in its physics context, and to make the subject approachable.

Doubly Special Relativity and Finsler geometry [PDF]
We discuss the recent proposal of implementing Doubly Special Relativity in configuration space by means of Finsler geometry. Although this formalism leads to a consistent description of the dynamics of a particle, it does not seem to give a complete description of the physics. In particular, the Finsler line element is not invariant under the deformed

On reaction thresholds in doubly special relativity [PDF]
Two theories of special relativity with an additional invariant scale, "doubly special relativity" (DSR), are tested with calculations of particle process kinematics.

Spatial Geometry and Special Relativity: a comparative approach
In this work, it is shown the interplay of relative and absolute entities, which are present in both spatial geometry and special relativity. In order to strengthen the understanding of special relativity, we discuss firstly an instance of geometry and ...

Existence of Faster Than Light Signals Implies Hypercomputation Already in Special Relativity [PDF]
Within an axiomatic framework, we investigate the possibility of hypercomputation in special relativity via faster than light signals. We formally show that hypercomputation is theoretically possible in special relativity if and only if there are faster than light signals.
