The Group Theory and Non-Euclidean Superposition Principle in Quantum Mechanics

Abstract

One of the unsolved problem in theoretical physics during some decades remains a construction of the complete and closed theory in which quantum mechanics and special relativity would be consistent without divergences and renormalization (Dirac, 1978). It may be assumed that divergences show conservation laws violation in the conventional theories, and a cause for it may be in turn violation of the group-theoretic principles in these theories, in accordance with the Noether theorems. A success of renormalization allows one to believe that the theory without divergences is possible. This paper is devoted to consideration of possibility to develop the consistent group-theoretic scheme of the quantum mechanics merely. It consists of Introduction, three parts, and Conclusion. The requirements which allow one to consider the quantum mechanics as a consistent group-theoretic theory are formulated in Introduction. The Noether theorems set one-to-one correspondence between conservation laws of the variables to be measured, i.e. observables (Dirac, 1958), and groups of symmetries of the solutions transformations of equations for complex wave functions, spinors, matrices and so on in which the space-time properties appear (Olver, 1986). These solutions do not obey to be an observables but the last ones may be constructed as the Hermitian forms corresponding to these observables on their basis. The mathematical tool to express the space-time symmetry properties is the group theory. Two circumstances connected with the stated above attract attention in the generally accepted schemes of the quantum mechanics. The exact conservation laws fulfilment is inconceivable in any theoretical scheme under absence of the complete set of the Hermitian forms, based on the main equations solutions and its derivatives, each of them would be corresponded to the observables. Some of these Hermitian forms have to be conserved, another have to be changed but all of them have to satisfy to some completeness condition expressed mathematically. The last subject has exceptional significance since if only some part of the unknown complete set of observables really existing is included into the theory, then both physical interpretation and conservation laws would be dependent on the Hermitian forms which are excluded from the theory. Of course, such theory can not be recognized to be the consecutive, complete and closed theory. One of the impressive consequence of the observables complete set and corresponding completeness condition absence is the well known question on the hidden parameters 13
