Three Different Formalisations of Einstein's Relativity Principle

Classical Physics 2018-01-24 v1 Logic

Abstract

We present three natural but distinct formalisations of Einstein's special principle of relativity, and demonstrate the relationships between them. In particular, we prove that they are logically distinct, but that they can be made equivalent by introducing a small number of additional, intuitively acceptable axioms.
