Angularly Deformed Special Relativity and its Results for Quantum Mechanics

Łukasz Andrzej Glinka

Published Sep 15, 2015• 0 citations

Abstract

In this paper, the deformed Special Relativity, which leads to an essentially new theoretical context of quantum mechanics, is presented. The formulation of the theory arises from a straightforward analogy with the Special Relativity, but its foundations are laid through the hypothesis on breakdown of the velocity-momentum parallelism which affects onto the Einstein equivalence principle between mass and energy of a relativistic particle. Furthermore, the derivation is based on the technique of an eikonal equation whose well-confirmed physical role lays the foundations of both optics and quantum mechanics. As a result, we receive the angular deformation of Special Relativity which clearly depicts the new deformation-based theoretical foundations of physics, and, moreover, offers both constructive and consistent phenomenological discussion of the theoretical issues such like imaginary mass and formal superluminal motion predicted in Special Relativity for this case. In the context of the relativistic theory, presence of deformation does not break the Poincaré invariance, in particular the Lorentz symmetry, and provides essential modifications of both bosons described through the Klein-Gordon equation and fermions satisfying the Dirac equation. On the other hand, on the level of discussion of quantum theory, there arises the concept of emergent deformed space-time, wherein the presence of angular deformation elucidates a certain new insight into the nature of spin, as well as both the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the Schrödinger wave equation.

Geometrical Lorentz Violation and Quantum Mechanical Physics

Roberto Mignani, Andrea Petrucci, Fabio Cardone A

On the basis of the results of some experiments dealing with the violation of Local Lorentz Invariance (LLI) and on the formalism of the Deformed Special Relativity (DSR), we examine the connections between the local geometrical structure of space-time and the foundation of Quantum Mechanics. We show that Quantum Mechanics, beside being an axiomatic theory, can be considered also a deductive physical theory, deducted from the primary physical principle of Relativistic Correlation. This principle is synonym of LLI and of a rigid and at minkowskian space-time. The results of the experiments mentioned above show the breakdown of LLI and hence the violation of the principle of Relativistic Correlation. The formalism of DSR allows to highlight the deep meaning of LLI breakdown in terms of the geometrical structure of local space-time which, far from being rigid and at, is deformed by the energy of the physical phenomena that take place and in this sense it has an active part in the dynamics of the whole physical process. This perspective has a far reaching physical meaning that extends its consequences to the foundations of Quantum Mechanics according to the interpretation of Copenhagen. It provides a 'real' explanation and description of quantum phenomena enriching, by the concept of deformed space-time, the realistic interpretation in terms of pilot wave and hence it uncovers the reality hidden below the probabilistic interpretation and dualistic nature of quantum objects.

Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

Tao Xiang

In special relativity, time and space are transformed according to the Lorentz transformation. Relativistic quantum mechanics is quantum mechanics that is consistent with special relativity. Nevertheless, relativistic quantum mechanics is only an approximation to a fully self-consistent relativistic theory of known particle interactions because it does not describe cases where the number of particles changes. In special relativity, mass can emerge from energy, which is not possible in quantum mechanics based on the conservation of probability. Dirac proposed the equation named after him to solve the difficulty encountered in the Klein-Gordon equation stemmed from the fact that it is a second-order differential equation in time.

Elementary relativistic quantum mechanics

Efstratios Manousakis

Abstract This chapter is seeking relativistic wave equations, which are invariant under Lorentz transformations, in an attempt to obtain a quantum mechanical description of relativistic particles. First, the chapter starts with the Klein–Gordon equation and then it discusses the Dirac equation. It also takes the non-relativistic limit of the Dirac equation to derive the Schrödinger equation with two additional terms, the Zeeman term and the spin–orbit coupling term. These two terms emerge naturally from the Dirac equation, and thus the spin, as an internal quantum number which behaves like angular momentum, is clearly identified. Finally, the existence of antimatter is clearly supported by the nature of the solutions to the Dirac equation.

Quantum time and spatial localization in relativistic quantum mechanics

Von Zuben, Francis Stephen Geisler

Two related problems in relativistic quantum mechanics, the apparent superluminal propagation of initially localized particles, and the dependence of their localization on the motion of the observer, are analyzed in the context of the theory of constraints. Time and energy operators are introduced for the free relativistic particle, and a parametrization invariant formulation is obtained through Dirac constraint theory. The resulting description is of a system constrained in momentum and energy, but not in position or time, for which observables are constants of the motion. The Klein-Gordon equation is recovered on a physical Hilbert space, constructed via integration over the proper time from an augmented Hilbert space, wherein time and energy are dynamical variables...

The Relativistic Wave Equation

Ilija Barukčić

In general, it is well known that the Schrödinger equation is not compatible with special relativity theory to a necessary extent.Thus far, there are already several trials to formulate versions of the Schrödinger equation to ensure compatibility with special relativity theory, the Klein-Gordon-equation or the Dirac equation are some of these attempts.Material and Methods: In this paper, Einstein's relativistic energy momentum relation is re-analyzed, a normalized relativistic energy momentum relation is derived.The derived normalized relativistic energy momentum relation together with the known Schrödinger equation is used as a starting point to establish a wave equation consistent with special relativity theory.Results: In this publication, based on Einstein's relativistic energy momentum relation, the historical problem of the "particle-wave-duality" is solved.Furthermore, a special relativity theory consistent wave equation is derived.

The quantummechanical wave equations from a relativistic viewpoint

Engel Roza

A derivation is presented of the quantummechanical wave equations based upon the Equity Principle of Einstein's General Relativity Theory. This is believed to be more generic than the common derivations based upon Einstein's energy relationship for moving particles. It is shown that Schrodinger's Equation, if properly formulated, is relativisticly covariant. This makes the critisized Klein-Gordon Equation for spinless massparticles obsolete. Therefore Dirac's Equation is presented from a different viewpoint and it is shown that the relativistic covariance of Schrodinger's Equation gives a natural explanation for the dual energy outcome of Dirac's derivation and for the nature of antiparticles. The propagation of wave functions in an energy field is studied in terms of propagation along geodesic lines in curved space-time, resulting in an equivalent formulation as with Feynman's path integral. It is shown that Maxwell's wave equation fits in the developed framework as the massless limit of moving particles. Finally the physical appearance of electrons is discussed including a quantitative calculation of the jitter phenomenon of a free moving electron.
