Proper velocity by Hermann Minkowski's flat-space metric equation . Here a reference map frame of yardsticks and synchronized clocks define map position x and map time "t" respectively, and the "d" preceding a coordinate means infinitesimal change. A bit of manipulation allows one to show that proper velocity where as usual coordinate velocity . Thus finite "w" ensures that "v" is less than lightspeed "c". By grouping "γ" with v in the expression for relativistic momentum p, proper velocity also extends the Newtonian form of momentum as mass times velocity to high speeds without a need for relativistic mass. The proper velocity
Smith–Minkowski–Siegel mass formula all the "p"-masses have their standard value, then the total mass is the standard mass where The values of the Riemann zeta function for an even integers "s" are given in terms of Bernoulli numbers by So the mass of "ƒ" is given as a finite product of rational numbers as If the form "f" has a p-adic Jordan decomposition where "q" runs through powers of "p" and "f" has determinant prime to "p" and dimension "n"("q"), then the "p"-mass is given by Here "n"(II) is the sum of the dimensions of all Jordan components of type 2 and "p"
