Consequence of lack of invariance under active Lorentz transformations

William B. Rolnick

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

It is shown that lack of invariance under active Lorentz transformations implies that the spectrum of states violates Lorentz invariance in the passive sense. The rest mass of particles will not be invariant to ordinary (passive) Lorentz transformations.
