Simultaneity in special and general relativity
E. Minguzzi
We present some basic facts concerning simultaneity in both special and general relativity. We discuss Weyl's proof of the consistence of Einstein's synchronization convention and…
Maximizing curves for the charged-particle action in globally hyperbolic spacetimes
E. Minguzzi
In a globally hyperbolic spacetime any pair of chronologically related events admits a connecting geodesic. We present two theorems which prove that, more generally, under weak ass…
A globally well-behaved simultaneity connection for stationary frames in the weak field limit
E. Minguzzi
Local simultaneity conventions are mathematically represented by connections on the bundle of timelike curves that defines the frame. Those simultaneity conventions having an holon…
On the existence of maximizing curves for the charged-particle action
E. Minguzzi
The classical Avez-Seifert theorem is generalized to the case of the Lorentz force equation for charged test particles with fixed charge-to-mass ratio. Given two events x_{0} and x…
Universal one-way light speed from a universal light speed over closed paths
E. Minguzzi, A. Macdonald
This paper gives two complete and elementary proofs that if the speed of light over closed paths has a universal value , then it is possible to synchronize clocks in such a way…
Simultaneity and generalized connections in general relativity
E. Minguzzi
Stationary extended frames in general relativity are considered. The requirement of stationarity allows to treat the spacetime as a principal fiber bundle over the one-dimensional…
