Discrete Relativistic Positioning Systems

Sante Carloni, Lorenzo Fatibene, Marco Ferraris, Raymond G. McLenaghan, Paolo Pinto

摘要:

我们讨论了一个离散的,即时的,简单的相对论定位系统(rPS)的设计,这是潜在的自我定位(等距)和操作没有校准或地面控制援助。设计是讨论在二维时空(即一个空间维度加一个时间维度),在闵可夫斯基和史瓦西解决方案,以及在三维(即两个空间维度加一个时间维度)在闵可夫斯基。该系统在没有校准、时钟同步或关于时钟运动的先验知识的情况下工作,它能够自我诊断假设故障(例如,如果一个时钟暂时变得不自由下降,或者引力场改变),并且当假设条件恢复时,它自动返回并运行。在史瓦西的情况下,我们表明,该系统也可以最好地拟合的引力质量的源的引力场,并强调,没有弱场假设的任何地方。特别是,我们提出的rPS可以在接近视界的区域工作,因为它不使用近似或PPN展开。更一般地说,rPS可以作为引力场的探测器,我们将简要地讨论它们在测试不同的引力理论设置中的作用。事实上,rPS是从引力理论中提取可观测量的规范方法的自然候选者,这种活动也被称为设计实验来测试引力。

英文摘要:

We discuss the design for a discrete, immediate, simple relativistic positioning system (rPS) which is potentially able of self-positioning (up to isometries) and operating without calibration or ground control assistance. The design is discussed in dimension two on spacetime (i.e. one spatial dimension plus one time dimension), in Minkowski and Schwarzschild solutions, as well as in dimension three (i.e. two spatial dimensions plus one time dimension) in Minkowski. The system works without calibration, clock synchronizations, or a priori knowledge about the motion of clocks, it is able to self-diagnose hypotheses break down (for example, if one clock temporarily becomes not-freely falling, or the gravitational field changes) and it is automatically back and operational when the assumed conditions are restored. In the Schwarzschild case, we show that the system can also best fit the gravitational mass of the source of the gravitational field and stress that no weak field assumptions are made anywhere. In particular, the rPS we propose can work in a region close to the horizon since it does not use approximations or PPN expansions. More generally, the rPS can be adapted as detectors for the gravitational field and we shall briefly discuss their role in testing different theoretical settings for gravity. In fact, rPS is a natural candidate for a canonical method to extract observables out of a gravitational theory, an activity also known as designing experiments to test gravity.
