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

Abstract

We consider the bilocal formalism of quantum mechanics, in which the wave functiondefined on the space $Q \times Q$ 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 space$\mathbb{C}P^{n-1}$, 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.

From Relation to Hilbert Space. Reduction Before Quantization in Bilocal Geometry.

Andrzej Tyminski

Previous works have shown that bilocal constraint geometry naturally gives rise to twodistinct geometric structures.The radial sector generates a distinguished one-dimensional characteristic flowinterpreted as relational time, whereas the angular sector reduces to a symplecticorbit carrying an internal Hamiltonian symmetry. The present work investigates the next natural step of this construction.Instead of interpreting the reduced orbit merely as a classical internal state space,we propose that it should be regarded as the classical precursor of a quantum statespace. Starting from the reduced symplectic orbit obtained by presymplectic reduction,we show that its geometric quantization naturally leads to a Hilbert space associatedwith every bilocal relation.After localization over spacetime, these Hilbert spaces form a bundle of quantumstates whose sections play the role of wave functions. Within this framework, neither time, gauge fields, nor Hilbert space are introducedas fundamental structures.All three emerge from the geometry of bilocal constraint orbits through differentstages of the same relational construction.

Bilocal Phase Space. Geometric and Operator Structure

Tymiński, Andrzej

This work presents the construction of a bilocal phase space arising from arelational description of the state $\Psi(x_{1},x_{2})$ on an extended configurationspace. We introduce bilocal configuration and gradient variables and analyse thecorresponding symplectic form on $T^{\ast}\mathbb{R}^{3,3}$. Angle reduction leads to aneffective phase-space structure\[\omega_{\mathrm{eff}} = dt\wedge dE + dr\wedge dp,\]described by two canonically conjugate pairs: a relational pair $(t,E)$ and a localpair $(r,p)$. The first pair is associated with the moduli of bilocal configuration andgradient vectors, and its structure is a classical counterpart of the quantum relation$[t,\hat E]=2i\hbar$. The second pair reproduces the radial part of the standard phasespace. The resulting phase space is entirely relational and can be interpreted as a geometricintertwining of two Minkowski spaces, $M_{1,3}^{(x)} \times M_{1,3}^{(\nabla)}$. This suggeststhat the bilocal construction provides a natural framework for describing structuresin which relations between configuration points, rather than the points themselves,are fundamental. The analysis presented here forms the basis for formulating bilocalextensions of dynamics and quantization, which will be developed in future work.

Geometrization of quantum physics

Oleg A. Olkhov

It is shown that the Dirac equation for free particle can be considered as a description of specific distortion of the space euclidean geometry (space topological defect). This approach is based on possibility of interpretation of the wave function as vector realizing representation of the fundamental group of the closed topological space-time 4-manifold. Mass and spin appear to be topological invariants. Such concept explains all so called “strange” properties of quantum formalism: probabilities, wave-particle duality, nonlocal instantaneous correlation between noninteracting particles (EPR-paradox) and so on. Acceptance of suggested geometrical concept means rejection of atomistic concept where all matter is considered as consisting of more and more small elementary particles. There is no any particles a priori, before measurement: the notions of particles appear as a result of classical interpretation of the contact of the region of the curved space with a device.

Quantum Distance, Bilocal Geometry and the Emergence of Minkowski Time

Tymiński, Andrzej

In the standard formulation of quantum mechanics, time appears as an externalevolution parameter rather than as an operator. In this work we analyze an alterna-tive perspective: time as an emergent quantity resulting from relations between twoquantum states of the same system. A pair of wave functions defines a point in the six-dimensional bilocal configuration space R3,3 , in which a natural “quantum distance”operator leads to an invariant with Minkowski structure ds2 = dt2 − dr2 .Constructing a basis adapted to this quantity yields a metric equivalent to M4 + S 2 —four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime coupled to an internal sphere of radius equal tothe quantum distance t. On this space we analyze the scalar field equations and showthat the spherical harmonics correspond to Klein–Gordon equations with geometric,time-dependent masses. The lowest modes l = 0, 1 form a four-component multipletwhich can be linearized in the spirit of Dirac, producing a first-order equation withadditional terms arising from the time-varying geometric mass.

A Hypercomplex Fiber Model of the Electron: Geometry, Spin, and Transient Structure Beyond Complex Quantum States

Abhishek Bansal

The conventional quantum-mechanical description of the electron represents physical states as complexvalued wavefunctions evolving in a Hilbert space over C. While empirically successful, this formulation incorporates several essential features of the electron-such as spin, orbital geometry, geometric phase, tunneling, chirality, and transient internal structure-only indirectly, through auxiliary formalisms or externally imposed symmetries, rather than as intrinsic components of the quantum state itself. In this work, we propose a hypercomplex fiber model of the electron within a unified geometricalgebraic framework consisting of the Bansal Manifold, Bansal Space, and Bansal Algebra. Quantum states are formulated as algebra-valued fields defined over a contextual base manifold, with observable physics arising through admissible projection onto associative subalgebras. The internal fiber algebra extends beyond C to include real, complex, split-complex, quaternionic, split-quaternionic, octonionic, dual-quaternionic, dual-octonionic, and nilpotent sectors, organized into a strict hierarchy governed by associativity and projection admissibility. Within this stratified structure, the electron is modeled as a layered entity in which charge, phase, spin, orbital geometry, and transient substructure occupy distinct algebraic strata. Non-associative components do not admit direct projection into observables, providing a natural algebraic mechanism for confinement-like behavior, while nilpotent extensions encode tunneling and threshold-activated phenomena without modifying leading-order spectral predictions. An algebra-valued Schrödinger equation is formulated on the Bansal Space, whose complex projection reproduces the standard Schrödinger dynamics exactly. The framework further admits a structured SU(10) action as an internal automorphism symmetry of the hypercomplex fiber, unifying spinorial, geometric, and subatomic degrees of freedom. Familiar Standard Model symmetries arise as projection-level residues, without introducing new particles, forces, or violations of established physical laws. Complex quantum mechanics thus emerges as a stable and observable projection of a richer underlying algebraic geometry, providing a controlled and testable extension of the electron's theoretical description.

Quantum Geometry of the Dynamical Space-time

Peter Leifer

Quantum theory of field (extended) objects without a priori space-time geometry has been represented. Intrinsic coordinates in the tangent fibre bundle over complex projective Hilbert state space $CP(N-1)$ are used instead of space-time coordinates. The fate of quantum system modeled by the generalized coherent states is rooted in this manifold. Dynamical (state-dependent) space-time arises only at the stage of the quantum "yes/no" measurement. The quantum measurement of the gauge ``field shell'' of the generalized coherent state is described in terms of the affine parallel transport of the local dynamical variables in $CP(N-1)$.
