Least Null Trajectories in Lorentzian Geometries and their Application in Physics
Abstract
The Euler-Lagrange formulation for extremum trajectories can be applied also in the case of null trajectories. In Physics the null trajectories result in equations of motion and equations describing the evolution of the system. We show that in Cl(1, 4) the theory of fundamental interactions are the geometric conditions derived from considering least-null trajectories for the description of a system in relation to the observer and the system's environment.
