We basically define this wave as a SLW (Scalar Longitudinal Wave), whose existence derives from the MCE (More Complete Electrodynamic) theory aspect of Maxwell’s classical electrodynamic equations. MCE falls into the QED (Quantum Electrodynamic) aspect of the Maxwell’s equations, in particular out of his four famous classical equations, our interest focuses on the one that is known to us as Faraday’s Law of the Maxwell’s Equation set. Key words: Scalar wave, more complete Maxwell’s equation, longitudinal wave, quantum electrodynamic, lagrangian and hamiltonian relationship. 1. Introduction Of the above two waves, the SLW wave is the matter of interest and it is the subject of this white paper. From a classical physics point of view, typically there are three kinds of waves: 2.

  • Chapter 5 ANGULAR MOMENTUM and ROTATIONS
    Chapter 5 ANGULAR MOMENTUM AND ROTATIONS In classical mechanics the total angular momentum L~ of an isolated system about any …xed point is conserved. The existence of a conserved vector L~ associated with such a system is itself a consequence of the fact that the associated Hamiltonian (or Lagrangian) is invariant under rotations, i.e., if the coordinates and momenta of the entire system are rotated “rigidly” about some point, the energy of the system is unchanged and, more importantly, is the same function of the dynamical variables as it was before the rotation. Such a circumstance would not apply, e.g., to a system lying in an externally imposed gravitational …eld pointing in some speci…c direction. Thus, the invariance of an isolated system under rotations ultimately arises from the fact that, in the absence of external …elds of this sort, space is isotropic; it behaves the same way in all directions. Not surprisingly, therefore, in quantum mechanics the individual Cartesian com- ponents Li of the total angular momentum operator L~ of an isolated system are also constants of the motion. The di¤erent components of L~ are not, however, compatible quantum observables. Indeed, as we will see the operators representing the components of angular momentum along di¤erent directions do not generally commute with one an- other. Thus, the vector operator L~ is not, strictly speaking, an observable, since it does not have a complete basis of eigenstates (which would have to be simultaneous eigenstates of all of its non-commuting components). This lack of commutivity often seems, at …rst encounter, as somewhat of a nuisance but, in fact, it intimately re‡ects the underlying structure of the three dimensional space in which we are immersed, and has its source in the fact that rotations in three dimensions about di¤erent axes do not commute with one another.

I recall him as the man in relativity when I entered Princeton as a graduate student in 1957. One of his most recent students on the staff there at that time was Charlie Misner, who taught a really new, interesting, and, to me, exciting type of relativity class based on then “modern mathematical techniques involving topology, bundle theory, differential forms, etc. Cer- tainly Misner had been influenced by Wheeler to pursue these then cutting-edge topics and begin the re-write of relativity texts that ultimately led to the massive Gravitation or simply “Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler. As I recall (from long! ago) Wheeler was the type to encourage and mentor young people to investigate new ideas, especially mathe- matical, to develop and probe new insights into the physical universe. Wheeler himself remained, I believe, more of a “generalist, relying on experts to provide details and rigorous arguments. Certainly some of the world’s leading mathematical work was being done only a brief hallway walk away from Palmer Physical Laboratory to Fine Hall. Perhaps many are unaware that Bob Dicke had been an undergraduate student of Wheeler’s a few years earlier. It was Wheeler himself who apparently got Bob thinking about the foundations of Einstein’s gravitational theory, in particular, the ever present mysteries of inertia.

ABSTRACT. - The quantum theory of scalar field is constructed in the de Sitter spherical world. The field equation in a Riemannian space- time is chosen in the = 0 owing to its confor- . mal invariance for m = 0. In the de Sitter world the conserved quantities are obtained which correspond to isometric and conformal transformations. The Fock representations with the cyclic vector which is invariant under isometries are shown to form an one-parametric family. They are inequi- valent for different values of the parameter. However, its single value is picked out by the requirement for motion to be quasiclassis for large values of square of space momentum.

  • Scalar Wave Transponder
    Konstantin Meyl Scalar wave transponder Field-physical basis for electrically coupled bi- directional far range transponder With the current RFID -Technology the transfer of energy takes place on a chip card by means of longitudinal wave components in close range of the transmitting antenna. Those are scalar waves, which spread towards the electrical or the magnetic field pointer. In the wave equation with reference to the Maxwell field equations, these wave components are set to zero, why only postulated model computations exist, after which the range is limited to the sixth part of the wavelength. A goal of this paper is to create, by consideration of the scalar wave components in the wave equation, the physical conditions for the development of scalar wave transponders which are operable beyond the close range. The energy is transferred with the same carrier wave as the information and not over two separated ways as with RFID systems. Besides the bi-directional signal transmission, the energy transfer in both directions is additionally possible because of the resonant coupling between transmitter and receiver. First far range transponders developed on the basis of the extended field equations are already functional as prototypes. Scalar wave transponder 3 Preface Before the introduction into the topic, the title of the book should be first explained more in detail. A "scalar wave" spreads like every wave directed, but it consists of physical particles or formations, which represent for their part scalar sizes. Therefore the name, which is avoided by some critics or is even disparaged, because of the apparent contradiction in the designation, which makes believe the wave is not directional, which does not apply however.

  • The Velocity and Momentum Four-Vectors
    Physics 171 Fall 2015 The velocity and momentum four-vectors 1. The four-velocity vector The velocity four-vector of a particle is defined by: dxµ U µ = =(γc ; γ~v ) , (1) dτ where xµ = (ct ; ~x) is the four-position vector and dτ is the differential proper time. To derive eq. (1), we must express dτ in terms of dt, where t is the time coordinate. Consider the infinitesimal invariant spacetime separation, 2 2 2 µ ν ds = −c dτ = ηµν dx dx , (2) in a convention where ηµν = diag(−1 , 1 , 1 , 1) . In eq. (2), there is an implicit sum over the repeated indices as dictated by the Einstein summation convention. Dividing by −c2 yields 3 1 c2 − v2 v2 dτ 2 = c2dt2 − dxidxi = dt2 = 1 − dt2 = γ−2dt2 , c2 c2 c2 i=1 ! X i i 2 i i where we have employed the three-velocity v = dx /dt and v ≡ i v v . In the last step we have introduced γ ≡ (1 − v2/c2)−1/2. It follows that P dτ = γ−1 dt . (3) Using eq. (3) and the definition of the three-velocity, ~v = d~x/dt, we easily obtain eq. (1). Note that the squared magnitude of the four-velocity vector, 2 µ ν 2 U ≡ ηµνU U = −c (4) is a Lorentz invariant, which is most easily evaluated in the rest frame of the particle where ~v = 0, in which case U µ = c (1 ; ~0). 2.

  • Quantum Fields in Curved Spacetime
    Quantum fields in curved spacetime June 11, 2014 Abstract We review the theory of quantum fields propagating in an arbitrary, clas- sical, globally hyperbolic spacetime. Our review emphasizes the conceptual issues arising in the formulation of the theory and presents known results in a mathematically precise way. Particular attention is paid to the distribu- tional nature of quantum fields, to their local and covariant character, and to microlocal spectrum conditions satisfied by physically reasonable states. We review the Unruh and Hawking effects for free fields, as well as the be- havior of free fields in deSitter spacetime and FLRW spacetimes with an exponential phase of expansion. We review how nonlinear observables of a free field, such as the stress-energy tensor, are defined, as well as time- ordered-products. The “renormalization ambiguities” involved in the defini- tion of time-ordered products are fully characterized. Interacting fields are then perturbatively constructed. Our main focus is on the theory of a scalar field, but a brief discussion of gauge fields is included. We conclude with a brief discussion of a possible approach towards a nonperturbative formula- tion of quantum field theory in curved spacetime and some remarks on the formulation of quantum gravity. arXiv:1401.2026v2 [gr-qc] 10 Jun 2014 1Universitat¨ Leipzig, Institut fur¨ Theoretische Physik, Bruderstrasse¨ 16, D-04103 Leipzig, FRG 2Enrico Fermi Institute and Department of Physics, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA 1 1 The nature of Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime Quantum field theory in curved spacetime (QFTCS) is the theory of quantum fields propagating in a background, classical, curved spacetime (M ;g).
