Fractal Theory Space: Spacetime of Noninteger Dimensionality
We construct matter field theories in “theory space” that are fractal, and invariant under geometrical renormalization group (RG) transformations. We treat in detail complex scalars, and discuss issues related to fermions, chirality, and Yang-Mills gauge fields. In the continuum limit these models describe physics in a noninteger spatial dimension which appears above a RG invariant “compactific...
متن کاملOn the dimensionality of spacetime
Some superstring theories have more than one effective low-energy limit corresponding to classical spacetimes with different dimensionalities. We argue that all but the (3 + 1)-dimensional one might correspond to ‘dead worlds’, devoid of observers, in which case all such ensemble theories would actually predict that we should find ourselves inhabiting a (3 + 1)-dimensional spacetime. With more ...
متن کاملThe Origin of Spacetime Dimensionality
Our universe is undoubtedly three-dimensional, and you may wonder why. By using a weak form of the anthropic principle, you may constrain the number of spatial dimensions to be at least equal to 3; there is no convincing argument however why it is just equal to 3, and not any other bigger, even huge, number. Clearly there is no fundamental physical principle to single out 3 spatial dimensions, ...
متن کاملCompactified dimensions as produced by quantum entanglement, the four dimensionality of Einstein’s smooth spacetime and ‘tHooft’s 4-ε fractal spacetime
We show how Einstein’s four dimensionality of spacetime arises via a Hardy quantum entanglement form of compactification acting on Veneziano bosonic strings space. In turn this quantum entanglement mechanism is directly connected to the transfinite version of Heterotic string’s dimensional hierarchy, i.e. 26, 16, 10, 6, 4 and leads directly to ‘tHooft-Veltman-Wilson fractal spacetime of dimensi...
متن کاملQuantum field theory on fractal spacetime: a new regularisation method
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.
