The special theory of relativity describes the motion and dynamics of objects moving at significant fractions of the speed of light.

Violation of Lorentz Invariance

Both. Simply put, condensed matter physics works in a non relativistic regime. It violates Lorentz invariance because it's not a relativistic theory. Like Newton's mechanics. Those are low energy limi …

Which summation should be chosen for a divergent series arising from the expression of relat...

First of all you should avoid using ChatGPT as a reference about math/phys questions, a lot of the time it is incorrect or gives you answers unrelated to what you ask him. Said that, you can't renorma …

Unruh particles

Your question is a bit misleading. Unruh radiation is not about light radiation. Is about thermal radiation. You need to have a field, for example a scalar one $\phi$. The field is full of modes. Now …

Mass as generator of two distinct sets of phenomena

We know that mass, which is a continous parameter, generates two classes of different phenomena: the ones where $m=0$ and the ones with $m \neq 0$. When a particle has $m=0$ we have phenomena which be …

How does a refractive index of less than one not violate relativity?

What travels faster than light is the phase (phase velocity), not the envelope of the x-ray beam. The waveform travels with the group velocity which is less than $c$. Information is encoded into the w …

Classical fermions, where are they?

Context: Studying the path integral formulation of QFT I stumbled upon a fairly simple statement: when doing loop expansions of a partition function: $$Z[\eta ; \bar{\eta}] = \int [d\psi][d\bar{\psi}] …

Is intrinsic spin a quantum or/and a relativistic phenomenon?

SPIN ORIGIN Spin is a purely relativistic property. It comes in fact from the representation theory of the Lorentz group (the relativistic symmetries group). In classical mechanics, you have represent …
