Fermion Systems in Discrete Space-Time – Outer Symmetries and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
A systematic procedure is developed for constructing fermion systems in discrete space-time which have a given outer symmetry. The construction is illustrated by simple examples. For the symmetric group, we derive constraints for the number of particles. In the physically interesting case of many particles and even more spacetime points, this result shows that the permutation symmetry of discre...
متن کاملSymmetries in the hyperbolic Hilbert space
The Cl(3, 0) Clifford algebra is represented with the commutative ring of hyperbolic numbers H . The canonical form of the Poincaré mass operator defined in this vector space corresponds to a sixteen-dimensional structure. This conflicts with the natural perception of a four-dimensional space-time. The assumption that the generalized mass operator is an hermitian observable forms the basis of a...
متن کاملThe Isometry Group of Outer Space
We prove analogues of Royden’s Theorem for the Lipschitz metrics of Outer Space, namely that Isom(CVn) = Out(Fn).
متن کاملQuantum Space-time: Deformed Symmetries versus Broken Symmetries
Several recent studies have concerned the faith of classical symmetries in quantum spacetime. In particular, it appears likely that quantum (discretized, noncommutative,...) versions of Minkowski space-time would not enjoy the classical Lorentz symmetries. I compare two interesting cases: the case in which the classical symmetries are “broken”, i.e. at the quantum level some classical symmetrie...
متن کاملMetric Properties of Outer Space
We define metrics on Culler-Vogtmann space, which are an analogue of the Teichmüller metric and are constructed using stretching factors. In fact the metrics we study are related, one being a symmetrised version of the other. We investigate the basic properties of these metrics, showing the advantages and pathologies of both choices. We show how to compute stretching factors between marked metr...
