A Gauge Theory of Quantum Mechanics
نویسندگان
چکیده
An Abelian gerbe is constructed over classical phase space. The 2–cocycles defining the gerbe are given by Feynman path integrals whose integrands contain the exponential of the Poincaré–Cartan form. The U(1) gauge group on the gerbe has a natural interpretation as the invariance group of the Schroedinger equation on phase space.

In this article, a causal model on the basis of trajectory is introduced for description of quantum systems. This theory is structurally very similar to Bohme mechanics, and like Bohme theory reproduces all statistical consequences of standard quantum mechanics. Particle trajectories in this model are different from anticipated ones by Bohme model. Quantum potential (force) form, which is give...
متن کاملLarge N Gauge Theory – Expansions and Transitions
We use solvable two-dimensional gauge theories to illustrate the issues in relating large N gauge theory to string theory. We also give an introduction to recent mathematical work which allows constructing master fields for higher dimensional large N theories. We illustrate this with a new derivation of the Hopf equation governing the evolution of the spectral density in matrix quantum mechanic...
متن کاملWhat does E 8 know about 11 dimensions ?
We discuss some possible relationships in gauge theories, string theory and M theory in the light of some recent results obtained in gauge invariant supersymmetric quantum mechanics. In particular this reveals a new relationship between the gauge group E8 and 11-dimensional space. PACS: 11.25.-w, 11.25.Mj
متن کاملTopological Gauge Theories from Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics on Spaces of Connections
We rederive the recently introduced N = 2 topological gauge theories, representing the Euler characteristic of moduli spaces M of connections, from supersymmetric quantum mechanics on the infinite dimensional spaces A/G of gauge orbits. To that end we discuss variants of ordinary supersymmetric quantum mechanics which have meaningful extensions to infinite-dimensional target spaces and introduc...
متن کاملOn Gauge Bosons in the Matrix Model Approach to M Theory
We discuss the appearance of E8 × E8 gauge bosons in Banks, Fischler, Shenker, and Susskind’s zero brane quantum mechanics approach to M theory, compactified on the interval S/Z2. The necessary bound states of zero branes are proven to exist by a straightforward application of T-duality and heterotic Spin(32)/Z2-Type I duality. We then study directly the zero brane Hamiltonian in Type I ′ theor...
متن کاملQuantum Gauge Symmetry from Classical Gauge Non-invariant Action
We have recently shown that the modified quantization scheme of Zwanziger, Parrinello and Jona-Lasinio is in fact identical at least in the perturbative accuracy to the conventional Faddeev-Popov formula, if one takes into account the variation of the gauge field along the entire gauge orbit. This in particular suggests that the classical massive gauge theory, for example, and the gauge invaria...
