2. Quantum Mechanics
Let the line element
for the ‘four-momentum’
, then,
for
,
and
, where,
for the rest mass
, whereas
is the ‘four-velocity’, then, the rearrangement of (
1) as,
, may yield the representation of a wave field
by superposition of a free particle (de Broglie wave) as,
Thus, from (
2), we can get the (total) energy operator
(it is analogous with but not exactly the same as the classical Quantum Mechanics, since it is now related to
instead of
spacetime due to the presence of
in its wave field), and the three momentum operator
, whereas the ‘Four-momentum’ operator,
and the mass operator,
for
. Let us prescribe quantum-to-classical metric tensor (i.e.,
) for the ‘Four-momentum’ operator
as,
Here, the ‘quantum metric tensor’
is symmetric, i.e.,
, and
. Components of its inverse matrix
are themselves the components of matrix
, namely,
, where,
is the Kronecker delta.
Then,
in (
4) may express as,
But, (
6) immediately tells us that (
1) is possible to write as,
The quantum line element
has neither a Minkowski spacetime, nor a purely Hilbert space and not its metric is Lorentzian, since
is satisfying (
5).
Note that,
since
. Hence, for
and
, (
4) becomes as,
. For constant velocity
and
in the
rhs term of (
4) yields an uncertainty principle describing the intrinsic indeterminacy with which
and
s can be determined by,
The mass-energy relation in (
1), i.e.,
, yields its quantum definition for the mass operator
of (
4) along with (
3) and (
6) as,
The
rhs term of this equation becomes very surprising due to
, because it is not clear to whom
acts upon.
Relating the first line of (
7) to its last line, the quantum line element yields,
or, simply discarding
, we can get,
Then, (
9) may give us the Schrödinger equation in
spacetime for (
8) as,
Again, applying the representation of wave field
of (
2) into
from (
1) and replacing
with
for (
5), we can get,
Thus, (
11) should be used as a general alternation of (
10).
Now, let us check
Quantum Mechanics from the perspective of General theory of Relativity [
2]. Let us consider a space
. Let
is a coordinate system of a point
. Let a line element (
) is,
hence, this yields (
7) as,
where,
, for (
6) and for some value of
(see (
18) below for more details).
Let
is a smooth,
D-dimensional manifold, where
is an
n-dimensional differentiable manifold and
is a metric, which is either as a positive-definite section of the bundle of symmetric (covariant) 2-tensors
or as positive-definite bilinear maps,
for all
. Here,
is the subspace of
generated by elements of the form
. Let
be local coordinates in a neighborhood
U of some point of
M. In
U the vector fields
form a local basis for
and the 1-forms
form a dual basis for
, that is,
. The metric may then be written in local coordinates as
. Let
denote the Levi-Civita connection of the metric
. The Christoffel symbols are the components of the Levi-Civita connection and are defined in
U by
, and for
, we see that they are given by,
Let the curvature
-tensor
is defined by,
Thus, the curvature tensor,
, is purely Quantum Mechanical due to (
12).
Let the tensor
is the trace of
curvature tensor:
, defined by
, and the scalar curvature
is the trace of
tensor:
where
is a unit vector spanning
. Then, the Einstein-like tensor
directly acts on a quantum space. Thus, Einstein-like field equation,
, is now ‘purely’ Quantum Mechanical for (
12). But the Ricci tensor
, thus, Einstein field equation (in quantum spacetime) should become as,
where
g is satisfying (
5), and where
is Einsteinian and not renormalizable, though, in the first line of (
13), mass dimension of gravitational constant vanishes due to
and if divergences are to be present, they could now be disposed of by the technique of renormalization (though, this will not play a role in our present discussion). Hence, (
13) should be used as a renormalizable Einstein field equation in quantum spacetime for general purposes.
