On the Kinematics of Uniformly Accelerated Motions and Classical Electromagnetic Theory

Abstract

In continuation of earlier work a study is made of the 4-dimensional conformal group of transformations in space-time as the extension of the Lorentz group permitting the introduction of uniformly accelerated reference frames into relativity theory. The problem of the motion of a particle is discussed, as well as the implications for the classical-type electron theory developed by Dirac.
