In this work, we investigate fractal properties in Yang–Mills fields, in particular their Hausdorff fractal dimension. Fractal properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) have been suggested as the origin of power-law distributions in high energy collisions, as well as of non-extensive properties that have been observed experimentally. The fractal dimension obtained here can be calculated directly from the properties of the field theory.

AbstractIt is observed that the shifted Poisson structure (antibracket) on the solution complex of Klein–Gordon and linear Yang–Mills theory on globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds admits retarded/advanced trivializations (analogs of retarded/advanced Green’s operators). Quantization of the associated unshifted Poisson structure determines a unique (up to equivalence) homotopy algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT), i.e. a functor that assigns differential graded $$*$$ ∗ -algebras of observables and fulfills homotopical analogs of the AQFT axioms. For Klein–Gordon theory the construction is equivalent to the standard one, while for linear Yang–Mills it is richer and reproduces the BRST/BV field content (gauge fields, ghosts and antifields).

In this work, we provide an overview of the recent investigations on the non-extensive Tsallis statistics and its applications to high energy physics and astrophysics, including physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), hadron physics, and neutron stars. We review some recent investigations on the power-law distributions arising in high energy physics experiments focusing on a thermodynamic description of the system formed, which could explain the power-law behavior. The possible connections with a fractal structure of hadrons is also discussed. The main objective of the present work is to delineate the state-of-the-art of those studies and show some open issues that deserve more careful investigation. We propose several possibilities to test the theory through analyses of experimental data.

The origin of fractional charge of a quark is investigated considering the fractal structure of a hadron. Hadron is suggested to be a fractal object with fractal dimension 9/2. Describing quark as a quasiparticle in an analogy with quasi particle in Fractional Quantum Hall Effect, the filling factors are extracted which show large fractional plateau. It is suggested that quarks behave like quasi particles and the fractional charges of quarks can be attributed to the fractal behavior of a hadron.

An octonionic ternary gauge field theory is explicitly constructed based on a ternary-bracket defined earlier by Yamazaki. The ternary infinitesimal gauge transformations do obey the key closure relations [δ1, δ2] = δ3. An invariant action for the octonionic-valued gauge fields is displayed after solving the previous problems in formulating a nonassociative octonionic ternary gauge field theory. These octonionic ternary gauge field theories constructed here deserve further investigation. In particular, to study their relation to Yang–Mills theories based on the G2 group which is the automorphism group of the octonions and their relevance to noncommutative and nonassociative geometry.

Unified nonlinear spinorfield models are self-regularizing quantum field theories in which all observable (elementary and non-elementary) particles are assumed to be bound states of fermionic preon fields. Due to their large masses the preons themselves are confined and below the threshold of preon production the effective dynamics of the model is only concerned with bound state reactions. In preceding papers a functional energy representation, the statistical interpretation and the dynamical equations were derived and the effective dynamics for preonantipreon scalar boson states and three-preon fermion (and anti-fermion) states was studied in the low energy as well as in the high energy limit, leading to a functional energy representation of an effective Yukawa theory (with high energy form-factors). In this paper the effective dynamics of two-preon composite vector bosons is studied. The weak mapping of the functional energy representation of the spinorfield on to the functional energy representation for the effective vector boson dynamics (with interactions) produces a non-abelian SU (2) local gauge theory (Yang-Mills theory) for a triplet of mass-zero vector bosons in the temporal and Coulomb gauge. This special gauge is enforced by the use of the energy representation and is compatible with the nonlinear Yang-Mills dynamics (and quantization). Apart from the non-abelian Gauss-law all other field laws and constraints directly follow from the mapping procedure. The non-abelian Gauss-law is a consequence of the relativistic invariance of the effective dynamics.

In this paper, the statistics of excitation-tangles in a postulated background ideal-superfluid field is studied. The structure of the Standard Model is derived in terms of tangle vortex-knots and soliton. Gravity is observed in terms of torsion and curvature in the continuum. In this way, non-linear dynamics and excitations give rise to a unified field theory as well as a Theory of Everything. As a result of this unification, spacetime and matter are shown to be fundamentally equivalent, while gauge fields arise from reorientation and excitations of the the fundamental underlying field. Finally, the equivalence of topological and quantum entanglement is explored to posit a theory of everything in terms of long- and short-range entanglement between fundamental quantum units (bits) of information.
