Autonomous geometro-statistical formalism for quantum mechanics I : Noncommutative symplectic geometry and Hamiltonian mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
Considering the problem of autonomous development of quantum mechanics in the broader context of solution of Hilbert's sixth problem (which relates to joint axiomatization of physics and probability theory), a formalism is evolved in this two-part work which facilitates the desired autonomous development and satisfactory treatments of quantum-classical correspondence and quantum measurements. This first part contains a detailed development of superderivation based differential calculus and symplectic structures and of noncommutative Hamiltonian mechanics (NHM) which combines elements of noncommutative symplectic geometry and non-commutative probability in an algebraic setting. The treatment of NHM includes, besides its basics, a reasonably detailed treatment of symplectic actions of Lie groups and noncom-mutative analogues of the momentum map, Poincaré-Cartan form and the symplectic version of Noether's theorem. Consideration of interaction between systems in the NHM framework leads to a division of physical systems into two 'worlds' — the 'commutative world' and the 'noncommutative world' [in which the systems have, respectively, (super-)commutative and non-(super-)commutative system algebras] — with no consistent description of interaction allowed between two systems belonging to different 'worlds'; for the 'noncommutative world', the formalism dictates the introduction of a universal Planck type constant as a consistency requirement.

Supmech: the Geometro-statistical Formalism Underlying Quantum Mechanics
A scheme of mechanics, called ‘supmech’, is developed which aims at providing a base for a solution of Hilbert’s sixth problem (seeking a unified axiomatization of physics and probability theory) and serves to develop quantum mechanics autonomously (i.e. without having to quantize classical systems). Integrating noncommutative symplectic geometry and noncommutative probability in an algebraic s...
متن کاملTowards an Autonomous Formalism for Quantum Mechanics
A formalism is presented in which quantum particle dynamics can be developed on its own rather than ‘quantization’ of an underlying classical theory. It is proposed that the unification of probability and dynamics should be considered as the basic feature of quantum theory. Arguments are given to show that when such a unification is attempted at the configuration space level, the wave funtions ...

Operating in the framework of ‘supmech’( a scheme of mechanics which aims at providing a concrete setting for the axiomatization of physics and of probability theory as required in Hilbert’s sixth problem; integrating noncommutative symplectic geometry and noncommutative probability in an algebraic setting, it associates, with every ‘experimentally accessible’ system, a symplectic algebra and o...
متن کاملClassical and quantum q-deformed physical systems
On the basis of the non-commutative q-calculus, we investigate a q-deformation of the classical Poisson bracket in order to formulate a generalized q-deformed dynamics in the classical regime. The obtained q-deformed Poisson bracket appears invariant under the action of the q-symplectic group of transformations. In this framework we introduce the q-deformed Hamilton’s equations and we derive th...

I present in this paper some tools in symplectic and Poisson geometry in view of their applications in geometric mechanics and mathematical physics. After a short discussion of the Lagrangian an Hamiltonian formalisms, including the use of symmetry groups, and a presentation of the Tulczyjew’s isomorphisms (which explain some aspects of the relations between these formalisms), I explain the con...
