	Lorentz covariance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lorentz covariance requires that in two different frames of reference, located at the same event in spacetime but moving relative to each other, all non-gravitational laws must make the same predictions for identical experiments.
		Note: this usage of the term covariant should not be confused with the related concept of a covariant vector.
		Lorentz violation refers to theories which are approximately relativistic when it comes to experiments that have actually been performed (and there are quite a number of such experimental tests) but yet contain tiny or hidden Lorentz violating corrections.

	The Theory of the Electron
		Lorentz constructed a microscopic theory by using Maxwell's equations and adding to it an expression for the force which a charged particle experiences in the presence of electric and magnetic fields.
		While the second term in (1) obviously arises from the self-field of the electron and is therefore often referred to as "radiation reaction." I shall not enter upon any further discussion of it, because this term will eventually disappear from the equation.
		Since this equation is almost exactly the Lorentz equation in the point particle limit, and in order to avoid confusion with Dirac's equation for the electron in relativistic quantum mechanics, this equation is referred to as the "Lorentz-Dirac Equation." In fact, the radiation term was also known long before Dirac.

		In this context, the term "Lorentz frame" refers to any of the family of inertial coordinate systems, with 3 space coordinates and 1 time coordinate, used in the special theory of relativity.
		In this context, the term "Lorentz transformation" refers to any of the family of linear mathematical transformations used in the special theory of relativity to relate the space and time variables of different Lorentz frames.
		In this context, the term "Lorentz invariance" refers to the property, possessed by the laws of physics and by certain physical quantities, of being the same in any Lorentz frame, and thus unchanged by a Lorentz transformation.

	2.5 Lorentz violation and the equivalence principle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Lorentz violation implies a violation of the equivalence principle.
		Intuitively this is clear: In order for there to be Lorentz violation particles must travel on world-lines that are species dependent (and not fully determined by the mass).
		terms are different, as is natural with some Lorentz violating models [110], then it is also obviously violated.

		Here we formalize this conjecture by means of a stochastic ensemble of Lorentz gases, in which i.i.d.\ random scatterers are placed in each cell of a co-compact lattice in the plane.
		We prove that the typical Lorentz gas, in the sense of Baire, is recurrent, and give results in the direction of showing that recurrence is an almost sure property (including a zero-one law that holds in every dimension).
		This dynamical \sy\ generalizes on the one hand the so-called `Sinai \bi', in which the particle is confined to a bounded domain, and on the other hand the \emph{periodic} Lorentz gas, in which the \sca\ configuration is invariant for the action of a co-compact lattice in $\R^2$.

	On the uniqueness of QED
		This term respects Lorentz invariance, gauge invariance, and CP invariance, and there is no reason, from the point of view of symmetries, why it shouldn't be in the Lagrangian.
		Of course, as vanesch said, these terms are all non-renormalizable which is why they were historically excluded, but in the spirit of effective field theory, non-renormalizability isn't such a big deal.
		Such a term could actually be present and we wouldn't even know it unless we made it to sufficiently high energy or otherwise looked sufficiently closely.

		Similar situations arise in the study of electron transport in solids in a semi-classical regime [Lorentz 1916, Sommerfeld 1956, Ben Abdolllah and Degon 1996, Ben Abdolllah {\it et al} 1996, Golse and Poupaud 1992].
		The latter can be obtained explicitly in the so-called ``two-term'' approximation [Lorentz 1916, Margenau and Hartman 1948, Allis 1956, Carron 1991], in which one keeps only the first two terms in a spherical harmonic expansion of $\bar f({\bf v})$.
		Starting with a two term $\epsilon$-expanded kinetic equation (slightly different than what is obtained from (3)) he observed, that after a scaling of space, time and electric field and neglecting the time variation of the first harmonic, one is led to an equation in which $\epsilon$ does not appear at all.

		The fact that Einstein asserted that the Lorentz transformation equations were the basis of the special theory, and these are, of course, purely mathematical, means that, in so far as the theory is considered to have any physical implications, these implications must be the result of the interpretation of mathematical expressions in physical terms.
		The Lorentz transformations have proved not to be the necessary formulation of the principle of relativity, as Poincaré believed, since physical interpretations of them have contradicted the principle.
		But the Lorentz transformation equations were first derived and used by Voigt in 1887 in connection with elasticity, and later, again by Lorentz in connection with the electron theory of matter, and do not depend on 'relativity' for their derivation.

	Clock Behavior and the Search for an Underlying Mechanism for Relativistic Phenomena (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The effect of the sun’s gravitational potential upon the clocks is to continually adjust the clock bias (needed to convert the Selleri transformation to the Lorentz transformation) such that the clock bias is modified to account for the changing direction of the earth’s velocity vector.
		It is assumed that this Lorentz transformation will also describe the properties of the particle and its true rest system as seen from the laboratory system.
		The Lorentz transformation achieves a slower running clock by actually increasing the clock rate but then more than counteracting that effect with a clock bias that is a function of position.

		Since the waves describe light, this term is the speed of light, c (from celeritas, Latin for speed).

		We then considered the gradient term in the Lagrangian, and rewrote it as i\hbar \psibar \gamma^\mu \del_\mu \psi, where \gamma^\mu = (\beta, \beta \vec{\alpha}).
		We then showed that the bilinear \psibar \gamma^\mu \psi transforms under Lorentz transformations as a spacetime 4-vector: that the Lorentz transformation matrices acting on \psi and \psibar in spin space induce an effective Lorentz transformation of the spacetime indices \mu of \gamma^\mu.
		Thus the gradient term in the Lagrangian, i\hbar \psibar \gamma^\mu \del_\mu \psi, transforms as a Lorentz scalar, with \psibar \gamma^\mu \psi transforming in the opposite direction as \del_\mu in spacetime.

		Lorentz’s space transformation indicates the shortening of the moving bodies, since the radical EMBED Equation.3 is situated in the denominator of the transformation — in the moving frame the marks on the space axis are located denser than in the immovable one.
		Thus, in case of low velocities, Lorentz’s space transformation not only turns into Galileo’s transformation analytically without problems, but also it is well confirmed experimentally.
		Conclusions A simple analysis and elementary numerical calculations showed that Lorentz’s transformation for the time coordinate does not correspond to Bohr’s principle, therefore, as a whole, SRT cannot be correct.

		Lorentz reasoned that, well, since this bothersome enormous energy flow component did not power anything, it "had no physical significance" (Lorentz's term).
		We essentially measure by dissipation from the circuit, and all the energy that is dissipated from the circuit must first have entered the circuit, hence is the Poynting component.
		Yet also, in the appalling lack of understanding of the engineers, every one of those systems deliberated self-enforces Lorentz symmetry in the system's vacuum interaction during the system's excitation energy discharge, by using the simple closed current loop circuit.

		Lorentz understood both components, but he also had not the foggiest notion of where on earth such an enormous energy flow could be coming from.
		He reasoned that Heaviside's vast parallel component was "physically insignificant" (Lorentz's term) since it did not interact with the circuit and did not power anything, and therefore it could just be arbitrarily discarded from all accountability.
		Hence the Lorentz closed surface integration procedure discards the enormous Heaviside nondiverged component.
