Physics Asked by Syr on May 9, 2021
I’m trying to understand the definition of relativistic phase space given by Rovelli in his book Quantum Gravity. At chapter 3 he states those following definitions
relativistic states definition: he define using the pendulum example: we have the pendulum physical motion given by the evolution equation $f(alpha,t)=0$ where $alpha$ is elongation and $t$ is time. So, $(alpha,t)$ is just a point in relativistic configuration space $mathcal{C}$. But, the evolution equation $f$ changes when we disturb the pendulum: so we have two parameters $(A,phi)$ such that $f(alpha,t;A,phi)=alpha-Asin{(omega t+phi)}$ and we define $(A,phi)$ as a state.
orbits definition: we define a degenerated 2-form on $mathbb{R}times T^*mathcal{C}$ such that $Sigma$ is the hypersurface which $(dtheta)(X)=0$ and the orbits of $dtheta$ is the integral curves of such $X$ (called the null vector space).
My question: Actually there isn’t difficult link the last two definitions. My problem is link the first (where $Gamma$ is space of states) with the others (like where $Gamma$ is the space of all physical motions).
Also, I’m looking for more about it, but I can’t find those definitions in any other book. Therefore, I would also be grateful for new references ! Thanks in advance.
