We relax the assumption of time translation and Lorentz boost symmetry in theories involving massless spin 2 gravitons, while maintaining a basic notion of locality that there is no instantaneous signaling at a distance. We project out…

Lorentz transformation equations provide us a set of relations between the spacetime coordinates as observed from two different inertial frames. In case, one of the frames is moving with a uniform rectilinear acceleration we have Rindler's…

Angular momentum is traditionally taught as a (pseudo)vector quantity, tied closely to the cross product. This approach is familiar to experts but challenging for students, and full of subtleties. Here, we present an alternative pedagogical…

A classical derivation of Betz's law is first presented along with some insights. The extended Betz's theory is deduced for a rotor with axis orthogonal to the direction of an ideal fluid in uniform motion. The conceptual design used to…

Leibniz algebras are non-skewsymmetric analogue of Lie algebras. In this paper, we consider weighted relative Rota-Baxter operators on Leibniz algebras. We define cohomology of such operators and as an application, we study their…

The two-boost problem in space mission design asks whether two points of phase space can be connected with the help of two boosts of given energy. We provide a positive answer for a class of systems related to the restricted three-body…

It is known that optical activities can perform rotations. It is shown that the rotation, if modulated by attenuations, can perform symmetry operations of Wigner's little group which dictates the internal space-time symmetries of elementary…

We propose two methods for obtaining the dual of non-linear relativity as previously formulated in momentum space. In the first we allow for the (dual) position space to acquire a non-linear representation of the Lorentz group independently…

The second-order differential equation for a damped harmonic oscillator can be converted to two coupled first-order equations, with two two-by-two matrices leading to the group $Sp(2)$. It is shown that this oscillator system contains the…

We address soliton spiraling in optical lattices induced by multiple coherent Bessel beams and show that the dynamical nature of such lattices make them able to drag different soliton structures, setting them into rotation. The rotation…

We propose a modification of special relativity in which a physical energy, which may be the Planck energy, joins the speed of light as an invariant, in spite of a complete relativity of inertial frames and agreement with Einstein's theory…

A self-interacting SU(2)-doublet of complex scalar fields, minimally coupled to Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity is considered in five space-time dimensions. The classical equations admit two families of solitons corresponding to spinning and…

In a recent article [1] we have explored alternative decompositions of the Lorentz transformation by adopting the synchronization convention of the target frame at the end and alternately at the outset. In this note we develop the…
