Mass and total energy of moving bodies in a quantified expansion
In this paper, we present a new formulation of Lorentz transformations using
a metric that quantifies the space expansion. As a consequence, we sort out
that the limiting velocity of moving bodies is decreasing together with the
space expansion. A new adjustment of relativistic laws is added to incorporate
the non static nature of space-time. The conservation of the physical laws at
each step of the quantified expansion allows the obtaining of new formalisms
for the physical laws, in particular when an object starts moving under any
force, its total energy, momentum and mass are directly affected by the
expansion of the space. An example of inelastic collision is studied and
several conclusions derived, specially the example of fission of atoms leads to
clear correlation between liberated energy and universe expansion, it turns out
that the liberated energy is increasing together with the universe expansion.Comment: 28 page
Fractal Topology Foundations
In this paper, we introduce the foundation of a fractal topological space
constructed via a family of nested topological spaces endowed with subspace
topologies, where the number of topological spaces involved in this family is
related to the appearance of new structures on it. The greater the number of
topological spaces we use, the stronger the subspace topologies we obtain. The
fractal manifold model is brought up as an illustration of space that is
locally homeomorphic to the fractal topological space.Comment: 20 page
Non-differentiable variational principles
We develop a calculus of variations for functionals which are defined on a
set of non differentiable curves. We first extend the classical differential
calculus in a quantum calculus, which allows us to define a complex operator,
called the scale derivative, which is the non differentiable analogue of the
classical derivative. We then define the notion of extremals for our
functionals and obtain a characterization in term of a generalized
Euler-Lagrange equation. We finally prove that solutions of the Schr\"odinger
equation can be obtained as extremals of a non differentiable variational
principle, leading to an extended Hamilton's principle of least action for
quantum mechanics. We compare this approach with the scale relativity theory of
Nottale, which assumes a fractal structure of space-time.Comment: 20 page
Fractional Vector Calculus and Fractional Maxwell's Equations
The theory of derivatives and integrals of non-integer order goes back to
Leibniz, Liouville, Grunwald, Letnikov and Riemann. The history of fractional
vector calculus (FVC) has only 10 years. The main approaches to formulate a
FVC, which are used in the physics during the past few years, will be briefly
described in this paper. We solve some problems of consistent formulations of
FVC by using a fractional generalization of the Fundamental Theorem of
Calculus. We define the differential and integral vector operations. The
fractional Green's, Stokes' and Gauss's theorems are formulated. The proofs of
these theorems are realized for simplest regions. A fractional generalization
of exterior differential calculus of differential forms is discussed.
Fractional nonlocal Maxwell's equations and the corresponding fractional wave
equations are considered.Comment: 42 pages, LaTe
Scale calculus and the Schrodinger equation
We introduce the scale calculus, which generalizes the classical differential
calculus to non differentiable functions. The new derivative is called the
scale difference operator. We also introduce the notions of fractal functions,
minimal resolution, and quantum representation of a non differentiable
function. We then define a scale quantization procedure for classical
Lagrangian systems inspired by the Scale relativity theory developped by
Nottale. We prove that the scale quantization of Newtionian mechanics is a non
linear Schrodinger equation. Under some specific assumptions, we obtain the
classical linear Schrodinger equation.Comment: 49 page
