Fractality and geometry in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions

Abstract

Assuming fractality of hadronic constituents, we argue that asymmetry of space-time can be induced in the ultra-relativistic interactions of hadrons and nuclei. The asymmetry is expressed in terms of the anomalous fractal dimensions of the colliding objects. Besides state of motion, the relativistic principle is applied to the state of asymmetry as well. Such realization of relativity concerns scale dependence of physical laws emerging at small distances. We show that induced asymmetries of space-time are a priori not excluded by the Michelson's experiment even at large scales.
