Modifications of the trajectory of a uniformly accelerating mass due to spacetime-symmetry breaking

ORAL

Abstract

This presentation will discuss constant acceleration motion in flat spacetime. We consider the implications when spacetime-symmetry breaking occurs. The framework uses background coefficients to describe the degree of symmetry breaking in the equations of motion for an accelerating mass. We will show properties of the trajectory with different values for the coefficients, and compare the standard case. We discuss numerical methods, analytical forms of the trajectories, and the relationship to motion in the standard case (without spacetime symmetry breaking). Evidence of nonzero symmetry breaking could point to the nature of an underlying unified theory.
