Lecture notes of Relativistic Mechanics: Worldlines, times and velocities of a particle

  • David Carf`ı Department of Mathematics University of California Riverside, USA

Abstract




In these notes, we define and study some concepts from Special Relativistic Mechanics, in a differential geometric perspective. Our approach allows us to revisit and rethink some basic theoretical structures, in a way that reveals more feasible to developments in various directions, in particular in view of a better integration with Quantum Mechanics.
