Loops in Relativistic Dynamics

Authors: T. Scarr

Abstract

The Einstein velocity addition loop and the symmetric velocity addition loop are used to develop relavistic dynamic equations. Since these loops are highly non-commutative, the question arises whether one should use the left or the right translations of these loops. We show that while the left translations are well-suited to relativistic dynamics, the right translations are problematic. We hypothesize that using the left translations is equivalent to a generalized form of the Equivalence Principle.
