Production Probability

In this paper we present the calculation of the production probability of an e-–e+ pair in the presence of a strong, uniform and slowly rotating magnetic field by taking into account the presence of a weak background gravitational field. The gravitational field is treated perturbatively and it is shown how the curvature of the space–time metric induced by the gravitational field itself enhances the production probability with respect to the analogous one obtained in Minkowski space–time.

Using the Clifford bundle formalism, a Lagrangian theory of the Yang–Mills type (with a gauge fixing term and an auto interacting term) for the gravitational field in Minkowski space–time is presented. It is shown how two simple hypotheses permit the interpretation of the formalism in terms of effective Lorentzian or teleparallel geometries. In the case of a Lorentzian geometry interpretation of the theory, the field equations are shown to be equivalent to Einstein's equations.

After briefly reviewing the relativistic approach to positioning systems based on the introduction of the emission coordinates, we show how explicit maps can be obtained between the Cartesian coordinates and the emission coordinates, for a suitably chosen set of emitters, whose world lines are supposed to be known by the users. We consider Minkowski space–time and the space–time where a small inhomogeneity is introduced (i.e. a small a "gravitational" field), in 1 + 1 and 1 + 3 dimensions.

By using the 3 + 1 point of view and parametrized Minkowski theories we develop the theory of noninertial frames in Minkowski space-time. The transition from a noninertial frame to another one is a gauge transformation connecting the respective notions of instantaneous three-space (clock synchronization convention) and of the three-coordinates inside them. As a particular case we get the extension of the inertial rest-frame instant form of dynamics to the noninertial rest-frame one. We show that every isolated system can be described as an external decoupled noncovariant canonical center of mass (described by frozen Jacobi data) carrying a pole–dipole structure: the invariant mass and an effective spin. Moreover we identify the constraints eliminating the internal three-center of mass inside the instantaneous three-spaces. In the case of the isolated system of positive-energy scalar particles with Grassmann-valued electric charges plus the electro-magnetic field, we obtain both Maxwell equations and their Hamiltonian description in noninertial frames. Then by means of a noncovariant decomposition we define the noninertial radiation gauge and we find the form of the noncovariant Coulomb potential. We identify the coordinate-dependent relativistic inertial potentials and we show that they have the correct Newtonian limit. In the second paper we will study properties of Maxwell equations in noninertial frames like the wrap-up effect and the Faraday rotation in astrophysics. Also the 3 + 1 description without coordinate-singularities of the rotating disk and the Sagnac effect will be given, with added comments on pulsar magnetosphere and on a relativistic extension of the Earth-fixed coordinate system.

In the presence of an external magnetic field, cobalt nanoparticle-based ferrofluid forms a self-assembled hyperbolic metamaterial. The wave equation, which describes propagation of extraordinary light inside the ferrofluid, exhibits 2+1 dimensional Lorentz symmetry. The role of time in the corresponding effective three-dimensional Minkowski space–time is played by the spatial coordinate directed along the periodic nanoparticle chains aligned by the magnetic field. Here, we present a microscopic study of point, linear, planar and volume defects of the nanoparticle chain structure and demonstrate that they may exhibit strong similarities with such Minkowski space–time defects as magnetic monopoles, cosmic strings and the recently proposed space–time cloaks. Experimental observations of such defects are described.

We apply the theory of noninertial frames in Minkowski space–time, developed in the previous paper, to various relevant physical systems. We give the 3 + 1 description without coordinate singularities of the rotating disk and the Sagnac effect, with added comments on pulsar magnetosphere and on a relativistic extension of the Earth-fixed coordinate system. Then we study properties of Maxwell equations in noninertial frames like the wrap-up effect and the Faraday rotation in astrophysics.

The unity of the structure of matter fields with flavor symmetry laws involves that the left-handed neutrino in the field of emission can be converted into a right-handed one and vice versa. These transitions together with classical solutions of the Dirac equation testify in favor of the unidenticality of masses, energies, and momenta of neutrinos of the different components. If we recognize such a difference in masses, energies, and momenta, accepting its ideas about that the left-handed neutrino and the right-handed antineutrino refer to long-lived leptons, and the right-handed neutrino and the left-handed antineutrino are short-lived fermions, we would follow the mathematical logic of the Dirac equation in the presence of the flavor symmetrical mass, energy, and momentum matrices. From their point of view, nature itself separates Minkowski space into left and right spaces concerning a certain middle dynamical line. Thereby, it characterizes any Dirac particle both by left and by right space–time coordinates. It is not excluded therefore that whatever the main purposes each of earlier experiments about sterile neutrinos, namely, about right-handed short-lived neutrinos may serve as the source of facts confirming the existence of a mirror Minkowski space–time.
