Graduate How Does the Infinite Momentum Frame Relate to Differential Forms in Mechanics?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between infinite momentum frames and differential forms in mechanics, using light cone coordinates x+ and x-. The equations presented, such as dx- = dx-/x+ and L = T - V, are compared to differential forms, suggesting a complex interplay between these concepts. Participants express confusion over the original question and request more context and clarity to facilitate meaningful responses. The need for references and clearer explanations is emphasized, indicating that the initial inquiry lacks sufficient detail for constructive discussion. Overall, the thread highlights the importance of clear communication in technical discussions.

Let x+ and x- be the light cone coordinates x + t and x - t. The coordinate x- = log x+. The equations dx- = dx-/x+ and x+ = x+ dx- are like ds = dQ/T and dE = p dV.

d- = d- dx+

D- = d- + d- dx+

In mechanics we have L = T - V, where L = L dt. This is a complex differential form just like x+ = x+ dx- and d- = d- dx+.

Has anyone seen D- = d- + d- dx+?

Maybe you should give a bit more context or references to get some replies here. I personally don't really have a clue what you're asking precisely. Why e.g.
your relation between x+ and x- ?
 
I will post more later. for now, there are two extra equations of the same type as L = L dt

x = x dE

D = i dt

Again, I have no clue what you're referring to. If you want people to respond, you should be clear about what you're asking.

Seconded. Ddddx, please post provide some context to the question, general equations, and your thinking behind this. In short, explain what you're talking about in more detail please.
 
This thread is closed. The OP needs to not only explain, but also provide a reference. This seems like personal speculation.
 
This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
