Quantum Mechanics as a Gauge Theory of Metaplectic Spinor Fields 1
A hidden gauge theory structure of quantum mechanics which is invisible in its conventional formulation is uncovered. Quantum mechanics is shown to be equivalent to a certain Yang–Mills theory with an infinite–dimensional gauge group and a nondynamical connection. It is defined over an arbitrary symplectic manifold which constitutes the phase–space of the system under consideration. The ”matter...
متن کاملA Gauge Theory of Quantum Mechanics
An Abelian gerbe is constructed over classical phase space. The 2–cocycles defining the gerbe are given by Feynman path integrals whose integrands contain the exponential of the Poincaré–Cartan form. The U(1) gauge group on the gerbe has a natural interpretation as the invariance group of the Schroedinger equation on phase space.
متن کاملStochastic Mechanics as a Gauge Theory
We introduce a classical diffusion process which provides a full description of non-relativistic quantum mechanics and has the form of a Z4 gauge theory. We first define a stochastic process on a discretization of physical space of the form (aZ)3, where a is an elementary length scale. We then lift this process to the principal bundle (aZ)3 × Z4. Nonrelativistic quantum mechanics is recovered i...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics as a Theory of Probability
We develop and defend the thesis that the Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics is a new theory of probability. The theory, like its classical counterpart, consists of an algebra of events, and the probability measures defined on it. The construction proceeds in the following steps: (a) Axioms for the algebra of events are introduced following Birkhoff and von Neumann. All axioms, except...
متن کاملSpinor Formulation of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
We have altered here slightly our notation of S̃(~ w, ~ θ), expressing its dependence on ~ w, ~ θ through a complex variable ~z, ~z ∈ C3. Because of its block-diagonal form each of the diagonal components of S̃(~z), i.e., a(~z) and b(~z), must be two-dimensional irreducible representations of the Lorentz group. This fact is remarkable since it implies that the representations provided through a(~...
