A modification of boost transformation in arbitrary pseudo-Euclidean space is suggested, which in the case of the Minkowski space admits the existence of inertial reference frames moving with velocities taking values in a certain bounded…
Two new formulations of general relativity are introduced. The first one is a parabolization of the Arnowitt, Deser, Misner (ADM) formulation and is derived by addition of combinations of the constraints and their derivatives to the…
Models of relativistic particle with Lagrangian ${\cal L}(k_1)$, depending on the curvature of the worldline $k_1$, are considered. By making use of the Frenet basis, the equations of motion are reformulated in terms of the principal…
We develop a generic spacetime model in General Relativity which can be used to build any gravitational model within General Relativity. The generic model uses two types of assumptions: (a) Geometric assumptions additional to the inherent…
We analyze particle dynamics on $N$ dimensional one-sheet hyperboloid embedded in $N+1$ dimensional Minkowski space. The dynamical integrals constructed by $SO_\uparrow (1,N)$ symmetry of spacetime are used for the gauge-invariant…
We discuss the imaginary-time formalism for field theories in thermal equilibrium in uniformly accelerating frames. We show that under a Wick rotation of Minkowski spacetime, the Rindler event horizon shrinks to a point in a two-dimensional…
A solution of the sourceless Einstein's equation with an infinite value for the cosmological constant \Lambda is discussed by using Inonu-Wigner contractions of the de Sitter groups and spaces. When \Lambda --> infinity, spacetime becomes a…
Newton second law of dynamics is a law of motion but also a useful definition of force (F=MA) or inertial mass (M=F/A), assuming a definition of acceleration and parallelism of force and acceleration. In the special theory of relativity,…
In loop quantum cosmology the quantum dynamics is well understood. We approximate the full quantum dynamics in the infinite dimensional Hilbert space by projecting it on a finite dimensional submanifold thereof, spanned by suitably chosen…
We derive a manifestly duality-symmetric formulation of the action principle for conformal gravity linearized around Minkowski space-time. The analysis is performed in the Hamiltonian formulation, the fourth-order character of the equations…
Universal velocity addition formulas analogous to the well-known formula in special relativity are found for four geometrically defined relative velocities in a large class of Robertson-Walker spacetimes. Explicit examples are given. The…
We correct an error that occurs with certain frequency in popular literature of Special Relativity, namely that supposedly that mass of moving objects depends on the relative velocity of the object and the observer. In this pedagogical…
Basic notions of continuous media mechanics are introduced for spaces with affine connections and metrics. The physical interpretation of the notion of relative acceleration is discussed. The notions of deformation acceleration, shear…
In this work, the relativistic phenomena of Lorentz contraction and time dilation are derived using a modified distance formula appropriate for discrete space. This new distance formula is different than Pythagoras's theorem but converges…
Relativistic thermodynamics is generalized to accommodate four dimensional rotation in a flat spacetime. An extended body can be in equilibrium when its each element moves along a Killing flow. There are three types of basic Killing flows…
We revisit the problem of the particle dynamics subject to a geometric holonomic constraint of codimension 1 in spatial dimensions d =2 and 3. In the absence of dissipation, we show that by solving the Lagrangian multiplier in a general…
Starting with two light clocks to derive time dilation expression, as many textbooks do, and then adding a third one, we work on relativistic spacetime coordinates relations for some simple events as emission, reflection and return of light…
A solution is proposed to a longstanding open problem in kinetic theory, namely, given any set of realizable velocity moments up to order 2n, a closure for the moment of order 2n+1 is constructed for which the moment system found from the…
Boundary equations for the relativistic string with masses at ends are formulated in terms of geometrical invariants of world trajectories of masses at the string ends. In the three-dimensional Minkowski space $E^1_2$, there are two…
Minkowski spacetime is a convenient setting for the study of the relativistic dynamics of particles and fields in the vacuum. In order to study events that occur in a dielectric or other linear medium, we adopt the familiar continuum…
