On Galilean and Lorentz invariance in pilot-wave dynamics

arXiv:0812.4941 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9601(97)00101-1

Abstract

It is argued that the natural kinematics of the pilot-wave theory is Aristotelian. Despite appearances, Galilean invariance is not a fundamental symmetry of the low-energy theory. Instead, it is a fictitious symmetry that has been artificially imposed. It is concluded that the search for a Lorentz-invariant extension is physically misguided.
