Quantum Mechanics from an Equivalence Principle
We show that requiring diffeomorphic equivalence for one-dimensional stationary states implies that the reduced action S0 satisfies the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation with the Planck constant playing the role of a covariantizing parameter. The construction shows the existence of a fundamental initial condition which is strictly related to the Möbius symmetry of the Legendre transform and to i...
متن کاملInvariance in adelic quantum mechanics
Adelic quantum mechanics is form invariant under an interchange of real and p-adic number fields as well as rings of p-adic integers. We also show that in adelic quantum mechanics Feynman’s path integrals for quadratic actions with rational coefficients are invariant under changes of their entries within nonzero rational numbers.
متن کاملOn the Equivalence Principle of Quantum Mechanics
A recent concept in theoretical physics, motivated in string duality and M–theory, is the notion that not all quantum theories arise from quantising a classical system. Also, a given quantum model may possess more than just one classical limit. In view of these developments, we analyse some general properties that quantum mechanics must satisfy, if it is not to be formulated as a quantisation o...

Non-relativistic quantum mechanics for a free particle is shown to emerge from classical mechanics through the requirement of an invariance principle under transformations that preserve the Heisenberg position-momentum inequality. These transformations acting on the position and momentum uncertainties are induced by isotropic space dilatations. This invariance imposes a change in the laws of cl...
متن کاملRelativistic Quantum Mechanics without Gauge Invariance
_ _. We argue that th&crossing (CPT) y s mmetry of relativistic quantum mechanics requires that both the Coulombic and the Newtonian force between pairs of particles will reverse when one is replaced by its anti-particle. For consistency, this requires a theory in which both the equivalence principle and gauge invariance are abandoned. Thus whether ant,i-hydrogen " falls " up or down will provi...
