A Brief History of the Energy-Momentum Tensor; 1900-1912
Jean-Pierre Provost
A critical look at the history of relativistic dynamics.
From Galilean Relativity to Quantum Gravity : Three Issues, c, h, G, concerning Time, Matter and Inertia
Jean-Pierre Provost
An odd look at "standard" physics (Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Dirac) leading to a radical change of our concept of inertial motion and to new heuristic approaches of gravitation an…
Poincare and relativity: the logic of the 1905 Palermo Memoir
Christian Bracco, Jean-Pierre Provost
We highlight four points which have been ignored or underestimated before and which allow a better understanding of "Sur la dynamique de l'electron": (i) the use by Poincare of act…
Had the planet mars not existed: Kepler's equant model and its physical consequences
Christian Bracco, Jean-Pierre Provost
We examine the equant model for the motion of planets, which has been the starting point of Kepler's investigations before he modified it because of Mars observations. We show that…
A simple derivation of Kepler's laws without solving differential equations
J. -P. Provost, C. Bracco
Proceeding like Newton with a discrete time approach of motion and a geometrical representation of velocity and acceleration, we obtain Kepler's laws without solving differential e…
Comparative Study of the Adiabatic Evolution of a Nonlinear Damped Oscillator and an Hamiltonian Generalized Nonlinear Oscillator
O. V. Usatenko, J. -P. Provost, G. Vallee +1
In this paper we study to what extent the canonical equivalence and the identity of the geometric phases of dissipative and conservative linear oscillators, established in a precee…
