A model-theory for Tachyons in two dimensions

  • 1. Istituto Dip.le di Fisica, Universita Statale di Catania, Catania

Description

The subject of Tachyons, even if still speculative, may deserve some attention for reasons that can be divided into a few categories, two of which are as follows: The larger scheme, to build up in order to incorporate space-like objects in the relativistic theories. These allow better understanding of many aspects of the ordinary relativistic physics, even if Tachyons would not exist in our cosmos as ''asymptotically free'' objects; superliminal classical objects can have a role in elementary particle interactions (perhaps even in astrophysics) and possible verification of the reproduction of quantum-like behaviour at a classical level when taking into account the possible existence of faster-than-light classical particles. This paper shows that Special Relativity - even without tachyons - can be given a form which describes both particles and anti-particles. This paper also is confined only to a ''model theory'' of Tachyons in two dimensions
