    Adelic geometry on arithmetic surfaces I: idelic and adelic interpretation of the Deligne pairing

    Full text link
    For an arithmetic surface XB=SpecOKX\to B=\operatorname{Spec} O_K the Deligne pairing \left \colon \operatorname{Pic}(X) \times \operatorname{Pic}(X) \to \operatorname{Pic}(B) gives the "schematic contribution" to the Arakelov intersection number. We present an idelic and adelic interpretation of the Deligne pairing; this is the first crucial step for a full idelic and adelic interpretation of the Arakelov intersection number. For the idelic approach we show that the Deligne pairing can be lifted to a pairing \left_i:\ker(d^1_\times)\times \ker(d^1_\times)\to\operatorname{Pic}(B) , where ker(d×1)\ker(d^1_\times) is an important subspace of the two dimensional idelic group AX×\mathbf A_X^\times. On the other hand, the argument for the adelic interpretation is entirely cohomological.Comment: Some typos have been correcte

    Deterministic Quantization by Dynamical Boundary Conditions

    Full text link
    We propose an unexplored quantization method. It is based on the assumption of dynamical space-time intrinsic periodicities for relativistic fields, which in turn can be regarded as dual to extra-dimensional fields. As a consequence we obtain a unified and consistent interpretation of Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics in terms of Deterministic Geometrodynamics.Comment: 4 pages.

    Elementary spacetime cycles

    Full text link
    Every system in physics is described in terms of interacting elementary particles characterized by modulated spacetime recurrences. These intrinsic periodicities, implicit in undulatory mechanics, imply that every free particle is a reference clock linking time to the particle's mass, and every system is formalizable by means of modulated elementary spacetime cycles. We propose a novel consistent relativistic formalism based on intrinsically cyclic spacetime dimensions, encoding the quantum recurrences of elementary particles into spacetime geometrodynamics. The advantage of the resulting theory is a formal derivation of quantum behaviors from relativistic mechanics, in which the constraint of intrinsic periodicity turns out to quantize the elementary particles; as well as a geometrodynamical description of gauge interaction which, similarly to gravity, turns out to be represented by relativistic modulations of the internal clocks of the elementary particles. The characteristic classical to quantum correspondence of the theory brings novel conceptual and formal elements to address fundamental open questions of modern physics.Comment: 6 pages.

    AdS/CFT as classical to quantum correspondence in a Virtual Extra Dimension

    Full text link
    The correspondence between classical extra dimensional geometry and quantum behavior, typical of the AdS/CFT, has a heuristic semiclassical interpretation in terms of undulatory mechanics and relativistic geometrodynamics. We note, in fact, that the quantum recurrence of ordinary particles enters into the equations of motions in formal duality with the extra dimensional dynamics of a Kaluza-Klein theory. The kinematics of the particle in a generic interaction scheme can be described as modulations of the spacetime recurrences and encoded in corresponding geometrodynamics. The quantization can be obtained semiclassically by means of boundary conditions, so that the interference of the classical paths with different windings numbers associated to the resulting recurrences turns out to be described by the ordinary Feynman Path Integral. This description applied to the Quark-Gluon-Plasma freeze-out yields basic aspects of AdS/QCD phenomenology.Comment: 6 pages. 36th International Conference on High Energy Physics - ICHEP 2012, Melbourne, Australia.

    On certain modules of covariants in exterior algebras

    Full text link
    We study the structure of the space of covariants B:=((g/k)g)k,B:=\left(\bigwedge (\mathfrak g/\mathfrak k)^*\otimes \mathfrak g\right)^{\mathfrak k}, for a certain class of infinitesimal symmetric spaces (g,k)(\mathfrak g,\mathfrak k) such that the space of invariants A:=((g/k))kA:=\left(\bigwedge (\mathfrak g/\mathfrak k)^*\right)^{\mathfrak k} is an exterior algebra (x1,...,xr),\wedge (x_1,...,x_r), with r=rk(g)rk(k)r=rk(\mathfrak g)-rk(\mathfrak k). We prove that they are free modules over the subalgebra Ar1=(x1,...,xr1)A_{r-1}=\wedge (x_1,...,x_{r-1}) of rank 4r4r. In addition we will give an explicit basis of BB. As particular cases we will recover same classical results. In fact we will describe the structure of ((Mn±)Mn)G\left(\bigwedge (M_n^{\pm})^*\otimes M_n\right)^G, the space of the GG-equivariant matrix valued alternating multilinear maps on the space of (skew-symmetric or symmetric with respect to a specific involution) matrices, where GG is the symplectic group or the odd orthogonal group. Furthermore we prove new polynomial trace identities.Comment: Title changed. Results have been generalised to other infinitesimal symmetric space
