量子物理学中是否存在乔丹几何?

Is there a Jordan geometry underlying quantum physics?

Wolfgang Bertram

摘要:

对于量子力学的几何和本质上非线性的表述,已经有几个命题。从纯数学的观点来看,若当代数理论的观点可能会给这种方法带来新的力量:有一种“若当几何”属于观测量代数的若当部分,就像李群属于李群一样。李几何和约当几何都很适合描述量子理论的某些特征。在这里,我们集中在数学描述的约旦几何和提出一些问题可能的关系与基础问题的量子理论。

英文摘要:

There have been several propositions for a geometric and essentially non-linear formulation of quantum mechanics. From a purely mathematical point of view, the point of view of Jordan algebra theory might give new strength to such approaches: there is a ``Jordan geometry'' belonging to the Jordan part of the algebra of observables, in the same way as Lie groups belong to the Lie part. Both the Lie geometry and the Jordan geometry are well-adapted to describe certain features of quantum theory. We concentrate here on the mathematical description of the Jordan geometry and raise some questions concerning possible relations with foundational issues of quantum theory.
