Abstract

Abstract The mass spectrum of elementary particles is calculated in a new approach, based on B. Heim’s quantum field theory, which manifests in a non-linear eigenvalue equation and merges into the Einstein field equation in the macroscopic limit. The poly-metric of the theory allows spacetime and matter to be described in a unified formalism, representing a radical geometrisation of physics. The calculated mass energies are in very good agreement with the empirical data (error < 1 % ${< }1\%$ on average) if the mass scale is gauged to the electron as lowest mass and the second main parameter, determining the strength of obtained mass hierarchy levels, is close to the half inverse of the fine structure constant, describing the difference in strength between the electromagnetic and the strong interaction. The obtained hierarchy levels are not identical to the particle generations of the Standard Model; however, show a self-similarity typical for non-linear theories. For higher values of the main quantum number N, the calculated mass formula becomes identical to the phenomenological formulae of Nambu, respectively, Mac Gregor.
