A Categorical View on the Principle of Relativity

Abstract: Category theory plays a special character in mathematics -it unifies distinct branches under the same formalism. Despite this integrative power in math, it also seems to provide the proper foundations to the experimental physicist. In this work, we present another application of category in physics, related to the principle of relativity. The operational construction of (inertial) frames of reference indicates that only the movement between one and another frame is enough to differentiate both of them. This fa… Show more
