Abstract

We continue to explore, in the context of a toy model, the hypothesis that the interacting universe we see around us could result from single particle (undergraduate) quantum mechanics via a novel spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) acting at the level of probability distributions on Hamiltonians (rather than on states as is familiar from both Ginzburg-Landau superconductivity and the Higgs mechanism). In an earlier paper [1] we saw qubit structure emerge spontaneously on ℂ4 and ℂ8, and in this work we see ℂ6 spontaneously decomposing as ℂ2 ⊗ ℂ3 and very curiously ℂ5 (and ℂ7) splitting off one (one or three) directions and then factoring. This evidence provides additional support for the broad hypothesis: Nature will seek out tensor decompositions where none are present. We consider how this finding may form a basis for the origins of interaction and ask if it can be related to established foundational discussions such as string theory.

Highlights

  • Using the concept GUE, we obtain one toy model for this Hamiltonian of the universe, drawn from the Gaussian ensemble:

Summary

Review of kaq

To specify each Hs,k requires 4 parameters for a total of 4N , but since scalars pass through the tensor factors 4N becomes 3N + 1 for each value of k of which there are 4N − 1 This makes a total of (4N − 1) + (3N + 1)(4N − 1) = (3N + 2)(4N − 1) parameters to determine a kaq metric (not normalizing so that det(gij) = 1), whereas the space of metrics gij on su(2N ) has dimension. To show that even when N = 2 kaq is a proper subvariety we estimate its local dimension around a generic, normalized metric gij which is diagonal in the so-called Pauli-word basis PBn defined below. We suspect that 21 is the maximum kaq strata dimension in Her0(4)
