Interpretation of the Five Dimensional Mechanics of a Single Spinless Massless Particle
نویسنده
چکیده
We attempt a unification of the Quantum and the Statistical Mechanics of a single spinless particle. We consider a five dimensional (5D) space-time with no matter. We postulate that all the physical information on a 5D massless particle propagation is provided by the statistics over null paths in this 5D space-time. If the 5D metric does not depend on the fifth space-like coordinate, then the propagation problem can be reduced to 4D by foliation along the fifth coordinate, and we obtain a formulation of Quantum Mechanics. If the 5D metric does not depend on time, we foliate along the time coordinate, and obtain a formulation of Statistical Mechanics. If the 5D metric is independent on both time and the fifth coordinate, then Quantum Mechanics and Statistical Mechanics are pictures of the same 5D reality. electronic mail: [email protected]

متن کاملInterpretation of the Five Dimensional Quantum Propagation of a Spinless Massless Particle
We consider a five dimensional (5D) space-time with a space-like fifth dimension. We implement a quantum formalism by path integrals, and postulate that all the physical information on a 5D massless particle propagation is provided by the statistics over null paths in this 5D space-time. If the 5D metric is independent of the fifth coordinate, then the propagation problem can be reduced to four...
متن کاملMassive 4 d particle with torsion and conformal mechanics
The consequences of coupling of the torsion (highest curvature) term to the Lagrangian of a massive spinless particle in four-dimensional space time are studied. It is shown that the modified system remains spinless and possesses extended gauge invariance. Though the torsion term does not generate spin, it provides the system with a nontrivial mass spectrum, described by one-dimensional conform...
متن کاملWhen the classical & quantum mechanical considerations hint to a single point; a microscopic particle in a one dimensional box with two infinite walls and a linear potential inside it
In this paper we have solved analytically the Schrödinger equation for a microscopic particle in a one-dimensional box with two infinite walls, which the potential function inside it, has a linear form. Based on the solutions of this special quantum mechanical system, we have shown that as the quantum number approaches infinity the expectation values of microscopic particle position and square ...
متن کاملDelocalization transition via supersymmetry in one dimension
We use supersymmetric ~SUSY! methods to study the delocalization transition at zero energy in a onedimensional tight-binding model of spinless fermions with particle-hole symmetric disorder. Like the McCoy-Wu random transverse-field Ising model to which it is related, the fermionic problem displays two different correlation lengths for typical and mean correlations. Using the SUSY technique, me...
