# Conformal Symmetry, Accelerated Observers and Nonlocality

## TL;DR

This paper explores the properties of accelerated observers in Minkowski spacetime through conformal symmetry, analyzing their kinematics and effects of conformal rescaling on acceleration transformations.

## Contribution

It introduces a conformal symmetry-based framework for understanding accelerated observers and generalizes their kinematics under conformal rescaling of spacetime.

## Key findings

- Acceleration transformations form an Abelian subgroup of the conformal group.
- Properties of uniformly accelerated observers are characterized within this framework.
- Conformal rescaling impacts the kinematic description of accelerated observers.

## Abstract

The acceleration transformations form a 4-parameter Abelian subgroup of the conformal group of Minkowski spacetime. The passive interpretation of acceleration transformations leads to a congruence of uniformly accelerated observers in Minkowski spacetime. The properties of this congruence are studied in order to illustrate the kinematics of accelerated observers in relativistic physics. The generalization of this approach under conformal rescaling of the spacetime metric is examined.
