This chapter attempts to find a measure for the “strength” of a system of field equations, which is determined by the amount of free data consistent with the system. It introduces the infinitesimal displacement field as a necessary remedy in general relativistic theory, as one can no longer form new tensors from a given tensor by simple differentiation and that in such a theory there are much fewer invariant formations. The infinitesimal displacement field replaces the inertial system inasmuch as it makes it possible to compare vectors at infinitesimally close points. After introducing these concepts, the chapter presents a discussion on relativistic field theory.

A scalar field theory in four space–time dimensions is proposed, which embodies a scalar condensate, but is free of the conceptual problems of standard ϕ4-theory. We propose an N-component, O(N)-symmetric scalar field theory, which is originally defined on the lattice. The scalar lattice model is analytically solved in the large-N limit. The continuum limit is approached via an asymptotically free scaling. The renormalized theory evades triviality, and furthermore gives rise to a dynamically formed mass of the scalar particle. The model might serve as an alternative to the Higgs sector of the standard model, where the quantum level of the standard ϕ4-theory contradicts phenomenology due to triviality.

The possibility of a new extension of the general relativistc theory will be considered using Finsler geometry. The extension of Einstein’s general relativity can be expected to regard gravitational, electroweak, and strong interactive fields as geometrical structure of a spacetime based on Finsler geometry. Indeed, it will be shown that this theory can include the general theory of relativity under a certain special condition. In addition, Maxwell’s equations will be expressed using new metric representations of the electromagnetic vector and its tensor. Moreover, it will be suggested that this theory may include metric representations of weak and strong interactive fields.

Quantum mechanics (first quantization) with self-consistent gravitational interaction, previously constructed for the stationary case, is extended to the general case. The two requirements for such a theory are realized: to obtain the theory maximally resembling a classical field theory and to achieve the invariance of the theory under the rescaling transformations of a wave function. The construction is not trivial, because it rejects the variational principles of extremality of any action and involves some principles of smoothed extremality which give relevant equations.
