The Lorentz Force Law and Spacetime Symmetries
Richard Shurtleff
Assume that arc length is measured with the flat spacetime metric. Then, for the most general Poincare group representation for translating 4-vectors, curves with parallel translat…

Poincare Connections in Flat Spacetime
Richard Shurtleff
In flat spacetime, as a simple 4-vector, a particle's 4-velocity cannot be changed by translation. Parallel translation then produces constant velocity, motion without force. Here…
