Representative Geometry of States in the Bilocal Formalism. SU(n) Symmetries from the State-Value Space and Spin Dualism.

ATAndrzej Tyminski

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore how the bilocal formalism in quantum mechanics relates to the geometry of states and SU(n) symmetries.
  • Analyzed the bilocal formalism considering wave functions in finite-dimensional complex vector spaces.
  • Examined the structure of configuration and phase-space realizations without modifying them.
  • Investigated the geometric implications for complex projective spaces and symplectic manifolds.
  • The physical state space is established as a complex projective space, highlighting its manifold properties.
  • For n=2, the geometry reflects existing structures in bilocal formalism; for n=3, a new representational symmetry is observed.
  • Emergence of internal symmetries is attributed to the quantum state space geometry, not as postulated additions.

Abstract

We consider the bilocal formalism of quantum mechanics, in which the wave functiondefined on the space Q Q is interpreted as a description of two statesof the same particle. In contrast to earlier approaches, we do not assume the wave function to be scalar-valued, but instead allow it to take values in a finite-dimensional complex vector space. We show that changing the codomain of the wave function does not modify the structureof the configuration space nor its phase-space realization. The entire bilocal geometry, responsible for the emergence of spacetime, mass, and kinematical spin, remains unchanged. New structures appear exclusively at the level of the state-value space. The space of physical states then takes the form of the complex projective spaceCP^n-1, which is a natural symplectic manifold and a coadjoint orbitof the group SU (n). For n=2, the resulting geometry duplicates the structural spin spherealready present in the bilocal formalism, whereas the case n=3 leads tothe first non-degenerate representational symmetry. These results suggest that internal symmetries of a representational naturecan be understood as consequences of the geometry of quantum state spaces, rather than as additional postulated degrees of freedom.
