加速非定域性的必要性
Necessity of Acceleration-Induced Nonlocality
摘要:
本文的目的是要解释清楚为什么非定域性必须是相对论的一个重要组成部分。在这个理论的标准局部版本中,洛伦兹不变性被扩展到加速观测者,假设他们是逐点惯性的。这个定域性假设在处理涉及经典点粒子和辐射射线的现象时是准确的,但对于电磁场来说就不成立了,因为场的性质一般不能瞬时测量。这个问题在非定域相对论中得到了纠正,方法是在定域性假设中补充一个观察者过去世界线的平均值。
英文摘要:
The purpose of this paper is to explain clearly why nonlocality must be an essential part of the theory of relativity. In the standard local version of this theory, Lorentz invariance is extended to accelerated observers by assuming that they are pointwise inertial. This locality postulate is exact when dealing with phenomena involving classical point particles and rays of radiation, but breaks down for electromagnetic fields, as field properties in general cannot be measured instantaneously. The problem is corrected in nonlocal relativity by supplementing the locality postulate with a certain average over the past world line of the observer.
