关于洛伦兹协变性的意义

On the meaning of Lorentz covariance

Laszlo E. Szabo

摘要:

在经典力学中,伽利略协变性和相对性原理是完全等价的,并且适用于所有可能的动力学过程。相比之下,在相对论物理学中,情况要复杂得多。这将表明,洛伦兹协变性和相对性原理是不完全等价的。原因是相对性原理实际上只适用于表征耗散系统平衡态的平衡量。根据这一事实,我们将论证洛伦兹协变性不应被视为物理定律的基本对称性。

英文摘要:

In classical mechanics, Galilean covariance and the principle of relativity are completely equivalent and hold for all possible dynamical processes. In contrast, in relativistic physics the situation is much more complex. It will be shown that Lorentz covariance and the principle of relativity are not completely equivalent. The reason is that the principle of relativity actually only holds for the equilibrium quantities that characterize the equilibrium state of dissipative systems. In the light of this fact it will be argued that Lorentz covariance should not be regarded as a fundamental symmetry of the laws of physics.
