Acceleration-induced nonlocality: kinetic memory versus dynamic memory

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2017-09-27 v1

Abstract

The characteristics of the memory of accelerated motion in Minkowski spacetime are discussed within the framework of the nonlocal theory of accelerated observers. Two types of memory are distinguished: kinetic and dynamic. We show that only kinetic memory is acceptable, since dynamic memory leads to divergences for nonuniform accelerated motion.
