Relativistic Poisson Equation

Recommended Posts

I wondered whether anyone had considered an equation of the form:

 

[math]\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t} = \alpha \Box^2 \phi[/math]

 

Which is analogous to the Ricci flow but instead focuses on the potential - I soon found out it had indeed been suggested (see ref). The idea would invoke a relativistic Newton-Poisson equation of the form

 

[math]\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t} = \alpha \Box^2 \phi = - \alpha (\frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial \tau^2} - \frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial y^2} + \frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial z^2}) = \alpha ( \frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial \tau^2} + \nabla^2\phi)[/math]

 

We should note now, what the Newton-Poisson equation is in a standard three dimensional form

 

[math]\nabla^2 \phi = 4 \pi G \rho[/math]

 

It means we can write it as

 

[math]\alpha \Box^2 \phi = \alpha (\frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial \tau^2} + 4\pi G \rho)[/math]

 

This would be equivalent to a relativistic Poisson equation.

 

You can consider a mass parameter as well and this would look like:

 

[math]\alpha (\eta^{\mu \nu}\partial_{\mu} \partial_{\nu} \phi + |\mathbf{k}|^2 + \frac{\omega^2}{c^2}) = \alpha( \Box^2 \phi + \frac{m^2c^2}{\hbar}\phi )  = \alpha (\frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial \tau^2} + \nabla^2 \phi + \frac{m^2c^2}{\hbar}\phi)[/math]


 

In which

 

[math]- |\mathbf{k}|^2 + \frac{\omega^2}{c^2} =  \frac{m^2c^2}{\hbar^2}[/math]

 

Is the dispersion relation.

 


In the context of curved space in general relativity, this turns into

 

First without mass parameter. 

 


[math]\partial_t \phi \equiv \alpha g^{\mu \nu} \nabla_{\mu} \nabla_{\nu} \phi  = \alpha g^{\mu \nu} \nabla_{\mu} (\partial_{\nu} \phi)  = \alpha(g^{\mu \nu} \partial_{\mu}\partial_{\nu} \phi + g^{\mu \nu} \Gamma^{\sigma}_{\mu \nu}\partial_{\sigma}\phi) = \alpha(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{-g}}\partial_{\mu}(g^{\mu \nu} \sqrt{-g} \partial_{\nu} \phi)) [/math]


 

And now with the mass parameter. 

 

[math] \alpha(g^{\mu \nu} \nabla_{\mu} \nabla_{\nu} \phi + \frac{p^{\mu}p_{\mu}}{\hbar^2}\phi) = \alpha (g^{\mu \nu} \nabla_{\mu} (\partial_{\nu} \phi) + \frac{p^{\mu}p_{\mu}}{\hbar^2}\phi) = \alpha(g^{\mu \nu} \partial_{\mu}\partial_{\nu} \phi + g^{\mu \nu} \Gamma^{\sigma}_{\mu \nu}\partial_{\sigma}\phi + \frac{p^{\mu}p_{\mu}}{\hbar^2}\phi)[/math]

 

[math]= \alpha(g^{\mu \nu} \partial_{\mu}\partial_{\nu} \phi + g^{\mu \nu} \Gamma^{\sigma}_{\mu \nu}\partial_{\sigma}\phi + \frac{m^2}{\hbar^2} \frac{dx}{d \tau^{\mu}} \frac{d x}{d \tau^{\nu}}g^{\mu \nu}\phi)[/math]

 

which is the curved diffusion equation with mass parameter. I have never seen the diffusion Ricci flow written like this.

Ya, See I get what dubblesoix  is saying here, basically Probability over Space then over time as torque.

[math]\phi[/math] is not a wave function, it is a gravitational potential. There is no torque in these equations either. It's a wave equation ... a four dimensional Poisson equation with diffusion coefficient. And the last equation describes it in terms of the curvature of spacetime. 

 

then why did you use the symbol phi that is probability and tau or τ  which is torque?

 

In any case, what is that like a 3rd or 4th or 5th integral?

[math]\tau[/math] is spacelike time. It is composed of [math]c t[/math]. You can read about that on wiki's page on relativistic heat equation which even tells you about the difference between [math]\Box[/math] and [math]\Box^2[/math]

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_heat_conduction

 

Though their construction is using the temperature denoted as [math]\Theta[/math], in this work, in the OP, we are considered the diffusion of the potential field [math]\phi[/math]. 

Yes, so the time component is phi/tau = Probability per torque @ a unit of time which is the grad part.

Yes you can rewrite this as

 

[math]\square = \frac{\partial^2}{\partial \tau^2}-\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2}-\frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2}-\frac{\partial^2}{\partial z^2}[/math]

 

As you can see the time derivative has absorbed the inverse speed of light squared and is the definition of the spacelike time variable. 

 

yes that's correct

What about an ADS/CFT duality treatment for a 5 dimensional (one positive & one negative ~2.5 [2+/-1 as opposed to 3+1 dimensions [not dimensional analysis] to allow for causal sets, sub-planck micro causality for gw waves, for divisions of 1 planck length per 1 planck time aka C regimes for a non-discrete/lorentz invariant continuous spacetime with non-instantaneous quantum jumps albeit local realism] fractal dimension connected via wormhole metric) relativistic poisson equation?

 

Could you build that for my theory in the event that I end up taking some calculus & can use it in the future?
