Best Matching: Technical Details

The best matching procedure described in Chapter 4 is equivalent to the introduction of a principal fibre bundle in configuration space. Essentially one introduces a one-dimensional gauge connection on the time axis, which is a representation of the Euclidean group of rotations and translations (or, possibly, the similarity group which includes dilatations). To accommodate temporal relationalism, the variational principle needs to be invariant under reparametrizations. The simplest way to realize this in point–particle mechanics is to use Jacobi’s reformulation of Mapertuis’ principle. The chapter concludes with the relational reformulation of the Newtonian N-body problem (and its scale-invariant variant).

Let P be a principal fibre bundle over M with group G and with projection π : P → M. By definition of a principal fibre bundle, G acts on P on the right. We shall denote this transformation law by ρ

Utilizing gauge symmetries, the Geometric Arbitrage Theory reformulates any asset model, allowing for arbitrage by means of a stochastic principal fibre bundle with a connection whose curvature measures the “instantaneous arbitrage capability”. The cash flow bundle is the associated vector bundle. The zero eigenspace of its connection Laplacian parameterizes all risk-neutral measures equivalent to the statistical one. A market satisfies the No-Free-Lunch-with-Vanishing-Risk (NFLVR) condition if and only if 0 is in the discrete spectrum of the Laplacian. The Jarrow–Protter–Shimbo theory of asset bubbles and their classification and decomposition extend to markets not satisfying the NFLVR. Euler’s characteristic of the asset nominal space and non-vanishing of the homology group of the cash flow bundle are both topological obstructions to NFLVR.

We present a new model of QED which exhibits two distinct phases. The model emerges in the first-quantized formalism where it is possible to generalize QED by adding the curvature of the world line to the usual kinetic term, the arc length action of the point particle. The Boltzmann factor associated with the curvature term favors rigid paths. The curvature term is not only scale-invariant and hence renormalizable but it is also the unique reparametrization-invariant term with second derivatives with this property. The new term transforms a single electron of mass m into an infinite number of particles with masses varying inversely with the spin (Majorana mass spectrum). The value of the bare curvature coupling determines which phase the theory is in. For bare curvature coupling α0 less than a certain critical coupling αc, we recover conventional QED as one phase where the curvature term is absent at large distance scales in the continuum theory. For α0 greater than αc, we have a new phase characterized by a curvature law. Using mean field theory methods, we determine αc to be of the order of one. We argue that the positronium spectrum in the strong curvature phase is approximately described by a Majorana mass formula. Even though the GSI experiments might not survive further experimental tests, we nevertheless examine the Majorana spectrum with the three observed narrow e+ e− peaks observed in the GSI experiments and make some possible new predictions.
