Perspectives of superluminal Lorentz transformations

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

The difficulties connected with the introduction of Superluminal Lorentz transformations both as maps between frames of a single manifold and as maps between two manifolds are briefly discussed. It is suggested that fibre bundles with more than one canonical projection should be used. An example is given in which the bundle manifold is a Lie group.
