HYPERCOMPLEX ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURES ORIGINATING ON A SET OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL ELEMENTS
Abstract
А series of hypercomplex numerical sets having a compositional structure is shown to arise in an abstract environment consisting of randomly oriented 1D geometric objects. We focus on the series’core set which is represented by a groupoid-type algebraic system with one binary operation, associative multiplication, admitting zero-dividers but having no unity; an original Cayley-type table for this set is given. Introduction of the operation of reversible addition extends the set to algebras of real, complex and hypercomplex numbers with units built of the initial simple elements. It is demonstrated that this fundamental mathematics is tightly linked with the origin of the basic equation of quantum physics.
THE SECOND REVOLUTION IN MATHEMATICS?
Abstract
The formation and development of category theory, one of the most profound areas of modern mathematics, is discussed. The origins of this theory related to algebraic geometry and algebraic topology are described. Three stages of its development are analyzed: from a means for describing particular mathematical theories and connections between them to a self-sufficient direction, independent of the set-theoretic apparatus, and then to the development of new foundations of mathematics.
THE “NON-STANDARD” FORMALISM OF QUANTUM THEORY II: FUNDAMENTAL ROTATIONS, THE ORDINAL PARADIGM
Abstract
This article is the second article in the series of “non-standard” formalism of quantum theory. It develops the set-theoretic paradigm and substantiates the notion of fundamental rotation, which was introduced at the intuitive level in the first article of the series. It is shown that the fundamental rotation is a carrier of an ordinal infinity. We prove a number of theorems on the relation between the carriers of ordinal and quantitative infinity in particular, we formulate the condition under which the carrier of infinity is a set. It is shown that for the set-theoretic continuum S ( N ) this condition is not fulfilled, and hence S ( N ), contrary to G. Cantor’s wish, is not a set. Due to the large amount of material, this article is the second part of the general article. It presents the key points of the set-theoretic paradigm, while the third part formulates and develops the ordinal paradigm.
CANTOR’ CONTINUUM HYPOTHESIS AND THE PROBLEM OF GRAVITY QUANTIZATION
Abstract
The following hypothesis is substantiated. On the segment of the numerical line [0,999..., 1,000...] there is: a) an uncountable set of irrational numbers of the form 0.999...1415926535 ...; a finite set of rational numbers of the form 0.999 ...; everywhere a dense set of meta-rational numbers of the form 0.999...5. The existence of a set of meta-rational numbers intermediate, in power in power, between a set of rational numbers and a set of irrational numbers, is revealed. In physics, there are also: a continuous material medium; a discrete set of particles of matter and radiation; the intermediate set of de Broglie P-photons, as elements of gravitational interactions between real particles and the medium. It is shown that the set of all meta-rational numbers and the set of all P-photons are in one-to-one correspondence.
SEMANTIC NETWORKS AND INSUFFICIENCY OF MATHEMATICAL DESCRIPTION OF SCIENTIFIC MODELS
Abstract
The article puts forward and substantiates the following thesis. A mathematical model is not sufficient to define a scientific model. A scientific model must include a conceptual model and a mathematical model built on the basis of the first. As a conceptual model, it is proposed to use ontology’s, which in Computer Science are used as a representation of knowledge. It is shown that it is possible to construct ontology’s for models of modern physics, in particular for models of quantum mechanics.
MACH'S PRINCIPLE AND QUANTUM MECHANICS IN THE RELATIONAL APPROACH
Abstract
The past century after the creation of quantum mechanics forces us to turn to the fundamentals of physical theory at a different level. In the relational approach, statistical spacetime is constructed, which correlates with the probabilistic notions of quantum mechanics. Mach’s principle in its generalized formulation also turns out to be important. The present paper shows how, by moving to a graph formalism for expressing spatial dimensions, coupled with the statistical dimension of time, quantum relationships are derived. Combined with a description of gravitational effects, a general physical apparatus can be created. The global nature of Mach’s principle allows us to connect the microand macroscales of description.
ON POSSIBLE ANSWERS TO METAPHYSICAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF CHARACTERISTIC PROPERTIES OF ELEMENTARY MATERIAL OBJECTS
Abstract
The paper shows that space-time with certain geometrical properties can be a source of origin of characteristic properties of elementary material objects. It is demonstrated that such space-time is a homogeneous stationary space with rotation caused by the rotation of congruences of time-like world lines.
INFLUENCE OF POWERFUL NONSTATIONARY PROCESSES ON TIME AND FREQUENCY STANDARDS PARAMETERS
Abstract
In this work, an attempt is made to consider from an unified perspective a range of experimental phenomena associated with some unidentified external influence on time and frequency standards. To the latter, in addition to traditional quartz and rubidium generators, hydrogen frequency standards, we also include the process of radioactive decay, which traditionally plays the role of an ultrastable clock in various methods of radioisotope dating. Moreover, the “ultrastability” of such watches is usually assumed for “ultralong” periods of time. Some features of the hypothetical external influence are considered, as well as the characteristic periods observed in this case. Also briefly reviewed are studies in which attempts were made to recreate the process of influencing quartz and radioisotope standards in laboratory experiments.
FORMATION OF MASSIVE PARTICLES BY SPHERICAL MASSLESS WAVES IN A SPHERICAL RESONATOR
Abstract
Considering the particle as a spherical resonator of “electromagnetic” de Broglie waves, it was shown that the propagation of spherical de Broglie waves along mutually opposite radii leads to the emergence of standing spherical waves, the nodes and antinodes of which can be associated with the spatial distribution of the particle’s characteristics. Thus, in the work it is examinated a steady-state oscillatory process inside a hollow resonator. Using a suitable phase difference between the converging and diverging spherical waves, it is possible to obtain the spatial distribution of characteristics inside the de Broglie wave resonator particle without a singularity at the center (r=0).
