    Acceleration-induced nonlocality: kinetic memory versus dynamic memory

    Get PDF
    The characteristics of the memory of accelerated motion in Minkowski spacetime are discussed within the framework of the nonlocal theory of accelerated observers. Two types of memory are distinguished: kinetic and dynamic. We show that only kinetic memory is acceptable, since dynamic memory leads to divergences for nonuniform accelerated motion.Comment: LaTeX file, 6 PS figures, 34 page
