摘要
我们在这里描述的粒子只能以光速 c 在三维空间中运动。速度随机但持续地改变方向,可以表示为半径为 c 的恒定球体表面上的一个点,其轨迹只能连接这个种类的点。我们用来描述球面上速度动态的维纳过程是各向异性的,因为速度的无穷小变化不仅总是与速度本身正交(这保证了速度恒定),而且也与位置正交。对速度无穷小变化的这种选择最能减缓粒子在空间中以光速随机运动的扩散。由于这些动力学原理,粒子的位置自发地限制在一个不断扩大的球体表面上,这个球体的半径在较大的时间内随着时间的平方根而增加。
Constant speed random particles spontaneously confined on the surface of an expanding sphere
The particles that we describe here can only move at the speed of light c in three-dimensional space. The velocity, which randomly but continuously changes direction, can be represented as a point on the surface of a sphere of constant radius c, and its trajectories may only connect points of this variety. The Wiener process that we use to describe the velocity dynamics on the surface of the sphere is anisotropic since the infinitesimal variation of the velocity is not only always orthogonal to the velocity itself (which guarantees a constant speed), but also to the position. This choice for the infinitesimal variation of the velocity is the one that best slows down the diffusion of particles in space by random motion at the speed of light. As a result of these dynamics, the position of the particles spontaneously remain confined on the surface of an expanding sphere whose radius increases, for large times, as the square root of time.
