Time parameters and Lorentz transformations of relativistic stochastic processes
arXiv:0812.0466 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.79.010101
Abstract
Rules for the transformation of time parameters in relativistic Langevin equations are derived and discussed. In particular, it is shown that, if a coordinate-time parameterized process approaches the relativistic Juttner-Maxwell distribution, the associated proper-time parameterized process converges to a modified momentum distribution, differing by a factor proportional to the inverse energy.
