Norm of Four Acceleration in Flat Space Time

Authors: Anamitra Palit

This article in Section I brings out the fact that the norm-squared of the acceleration four vector in flat space time is not a real number if the acceleration (of a particle)is non zero. This leads to the fiasco that the time derivative of the Lorentz factor is a complex quantity with a non zero imaginary part. For uniform motion the norm projects a consistent picture . Section II establishes the fact that zero proper acceleration ,spatial, is equivalent to zero coordinate acceleration,spatial and vice versa.
