Quantum field theory on fractal spacetime: a new regularisation method
نویسنده
چکیده
Spacetime is modelled a s a fractal subset of R". Analysis on homogeneous sets with non-integer Hausdorff dimension is applied to the low-order perturbative renormalisation of quantum electrodynamics. This new regularisation method implements the Dirac matrices and tensors in R4 without difficulties, is gauge invariant, covariant and differs from dimensional regularisation in some aspects.

Effective action for scalar fields and generalised zeta-function regularisation
Motivated by the study of quantum fields in a Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime, the one-loop effective action for a scalar field defined in the ultrastatic manifold R × H/Γ, H/Γ being the finite volume, non-compact, hyperbolic spatial section, is investigated by a generalisation of zeta-function regularisation. It is shown that additional divergences may appear at one-loop level. The o...
متن کاملDark Energy and its Cosmic Density from Einstein’s Relativity and Gauge Fields Renormalization Leading to the Possibility of a New 'tHooft Quasi Particle
Since in Euclidean and Riemannian continuous smooth geometry a point cannot rotate, it follows then that only a finite length line could rotate. Overlooking this simple evident and trivial point is the cause of most of the troubles associated with the general theory of relativity. Once realized, the situation could be resolved by going in the directions of Cartan-Einstein spacetime but all the ...
متن کاملFractal universe and quantum gravity.
We propose a field theory which lives in fractal spacetime and is argued to be Lorentz invariant, power-counting renormalizable, ultraviolet finite, and causal. The system flows from an ultraviolet fixed point, where spacetime has Hausdorff dimension 2, to an infrared limit coinciding with a standard four-dimensional field theory. Classically, the fractal world where fields live exchanges energ...
متن کاملWhy we live in 3 + 1 dimensions
In the same fashion that Einstein’s General Relativity required Riemannian Geometry for its foundations, the New Relativity Theory requires a Cantorian-Fractal Spacetime, which is an example of Von Neumann’s Noncommutative Geometry. Starting from first principles, an ensemble distribution for all the infinite dimensions of quantum spacetime is derived that requires Fermat’s last theorem. An exp...
متن کاملOn a New Elementary Particle from the Disintegration of the Symplectic ‘t Hooft-Veltman-Wilson Fractal Spacetime
‘t Hooft-Veltman Wilson dimensional regularization depends crucially upon Borel summability which entails strong links to the modern mathematical theory of transfinite sets and consequently to the fractal-Cantorian spacetime proposal of Ord-Nottale-El Naschie. Starting from the above, we interpret the main step of the mathematical analysis in terms of elementary particles interaction. Thus ‘t H...
