Vector Affine Quantization Can Create Valid Quantum Field Theories

John R. Klauder

Published Jan 1, 2022• 0 citations

Abstract

Affine quantization, a parallel procedure to canonical quantization, needs to use its principal quantum operators, specifically D = (PQ+QP)/2 and Q ≠ 0, to represent appropriate kinetic factors, such as P2, which involves only one canonical quantum operator. The need for this requirement stems from path integral quantizations of selected problems that affine quantization can solve but canonical quantization fails to solve. This task is resolved for simple examples, as well as examples that involve scalar, and vector, quantum field theories.

Kinetic factors in affine quantization and their role in field theory Monte Carlo

Riccardo Fantoni, John R. Klauder

Affine quantization, which is a parallel procedure with canonical quantization, needs to use its principal quantum operators, most simply [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], to represent appropriate kinetic factors, normally [Formula: see text], which involve only one canonical quantum operator. The need for this requirement stems from the quantization of selected problems that require affine quantization to achieve valid Monte Carlo results. This task is resolved for introductory examples as well as examples that involve scalar quantum field theories.

Valid Quantization: The Next Step

John R. Klauder

Canonical quantization is a wonderful procedure for selected problems, but there are many problems for which it fails. Affine quantization is a different procedure that has shown that it can solve many problems that canonical quantization cannot. Here, words like succeed and fail to refer to whether the quantization results are correct or incorrect. This paper offers two simple examples that serve to introduce affine quantization, and compare studies of two different quantization procedures. Brief comments about field theory and gravity problems undergoing quantization by affine procedures complete the paper.

Solving Major Problems Using Vector Affine Quantization

John R. Klauder

Affine quantization is a parallel procedure to canonical quantization, which is ideally suited to deal with special problems. Vector affine quantization introduces multiple degrees of freedom which find that working together creates novel tools suitable to eliminate typical difficulties encountered in more conventional approaches.

The Magnificent Realm of Affine Quantization: Valid Results for Particles, Fields, and Gravity

John R. Klauder, Riccardo Fantoni

Affine quantization is a relatively new procedure, and it can solve many new problems. This essay reviews this new, and novel, procedure for particle problems, as well as those of fields and gravity. New quantization tools, which are extremely close to, and even constructed from, the tools of canonical quantization, are able to fully solve selected problems that using the standard canonical quantization would fail. In particular, improvements can even be found with an affine quantization of fields, as well as gravity.
