Relativistic Astronomy. III. test of special relativity via Doppler effect [PDF]
The "Breakthrough Starshot" program is planning to send transrelativistic probes to travel to nearby stellar systems within decades. Since the probe velocity is designed to be a good fraction of the light speed, \citet{zha18} recently proposed that these transrelativistic probes can be used to study astronomical objects and to test special relativity ...

Ontology of the Theory of Relativity [PDF]
Both relativistic mechanics and Newtonian mechanics are based on principles that have ontological implications. We propose a series of formalisms that rigorously define the ontology underlying mechanical theories, in order to clarify and formally establish the ontology of the physics of motion.

Modification of the mean free path of very high-energy photons due to a relativistic deformed kinematics [PDF]
Ultra-high-energy physics is about to enter a new era thanks to the impressive results of experiments such as the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory, detecting photons of up to 1.4×10^15 eV (PeV scale).

Doubly-Special Relativity: Facts, Myths and Some Key Open Issues [PDF]
I report, emphasizing some key open issues and some aspects that are particularly relevant for phenomenology, on the status of the development of "doubly-special" relativistic ("DSR") theories with both an observer-independent high-velocity scale and an ...

Spatial-sign based High Dimensional White Noises Test [PDF]
A spatial-sign based test procedure is proposed for high dimensional white noise test in this paper. We establish the limit null distribution and give the asymptotical relative efficient of our test with respect to the test proposed by Feng et al. (2022) under some special alternative hypothesis.

Quantum theory is incompatible with relativity: A new proof beyond Bell's theorem and a test of unitary quantum theories [PDF]
It has been debated whether quantum mechanics and special relativity are incompatible and whether there is a preferred Lorentz frame if they are incompatible.

Twin Peaks: A possible signal in the production of resonances beyond special relativity [PDF]
It is usually expected that quantum gravity corrections will modify somehow the symmetries of special relativity. In this paper we point out that the possibility of very low-energy (with respect to the Planck energy) modifications to special relativity in the framework of a deformed relativistic theory is not ruled out, and that, depending on the value

Axially Symmetric Solutions for SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory [PDF]
By casting the Yang-Mills-Higgs equations of an SU(2) theory in the form of the Ernst equations of general relativity, it is shown how the known exact solutions of general relativity can be used to give similiar solutions for Yang-Mills theory.

Recent Experimental Tests of Special Relativity
We review our recent Michelson-Morley (MM) and Kennedy-Thorndike (KT) experiment, which tests Lorentz invariance in the photon sector, and report first results of our ongoing atomic clock test of Lorentz invariance in the matter sector.
