Towards a framework for possible unification of quantum and relativity theories∗
نویسنده
چکیده
We put forward a framework, inspired by recent axiomatic and operational approaches to generalized quantum theories, wherein we investigate the possibility of unifying quantum theories and relativity theories. The framework concentrates on a detailed analysis of a general construction of reality, that can be used in both, quantum and relativity theories. By means of this construction of reality we clarify some well known conceptual problems that stand in the way for a conceptual unification of quantum and relativity theories on a more profound physical level than the purely mathematical algebraic level on which now unification attempts are investigated. More specifically we concentrate on the problem of ’what is physical reality’ in quantum and relativity theories. ∗Published as: Aerts, D., 1996, “Towards a framework for possible unification of quantum and relativity theories”, Int.

Superrelativity as a unification of quantum theory and relativity (II)
A underlying dynamical structure for both relativity and quantum theory— “superrelativity” has been proposed on order to overcome the well known incompatibility between these theories. The relationship between curvature of spacetime (gravity) and curvature of the projective Hilbert space of pure quantum states is established as well.
متن کاملA Possible Unification Model for All Basic Forces
A unification model for strong, electromagnetic, weak and gravitational forces is proposed. The tangent space of ordinary coordinate 4-dimensional spacetime is a submanifold of an 14-dimensional internal spacetime spanned by four frame fields. The unification of the standard model with gravity is governed by gauge symmetry in the internal spacetime. One of the great theoretical endeavours in th...
متن کاملLorentz Violation and Gravity
Lorentz symmetry lies at the heart of relativity and is a feature of low-energy descriptions of nature. Minuscule Lorentz-violating effects arising in theories of quantum gravity offer a promising candidate signal for new physics at the Planck scale. A framework is presented for incorporating Lorentz violation into general relativity and other theories of gravity. Applying this framework yields...
متن کاملN ov 1 99 9 Underlying Field Structure of Matter
Special relativity (SR), general relativity (GR), and quantum theory (QT) were developed on the ground of classical mechanics. There is, however, the deep internal incompatibily between these theories. On one hand SR and GR are intrinsically deterministic in spacetime since they deal with pure classical notions (e.g. material point, events, etc.) On the other hand in QT one uses deterministic e...
متن کاملNonlinear modification of quantum mechanics
In order to prevent “unavoidable” break-down of the “peaceful coexistence” between foundations of quantum theory and relativity I propose a new type of a quantum gauge theory (superrelativity). This differs from ordinary gauge theories in the sense that the affine connection of this theory is constructed from first derivatives of the Fubini-Study metric tensor in the projective Hilbert space of...
