Doubled of Minkowski space and spinor wave function

In summary, the conversation discusses the properties of 8-dimensional Finsler space and its relation to the Minkowski space. It also considers particle-like solutions with specific symmetries and spinor wave functions. However, the discussion is not suitable for physicsforums and should not be continued there.

First of all note that 8-dinensional Finsler space [itex](t,x,y,z,t^*,x^*,y^*,z^*)[/itex] preserving the metric form
\begin{equation}
S^2 = tt^*-xx^*-yy^*-zz^*,
\end{equation}
actually presents doubled of the Minkowski space.

Then the solution with one-dimensional feature localized on the world line of doubled of Minkowski space [itex](x, y, z, t,t^*,x^*,y^*,z^*)[/itex], which in the distance from it tends to the vacuum potential, should be considered as particle-like solutions. Moreover, if we are interested in particle-like solutions in which the static part of the line potential features has symmetry of the equator of seven-sphere, and the dynamic characteristics of the line is wound on this equator, then the space which is orthogonal to this line (or rather - a congruence of lines) features can be represented by spinor wave function:
\begin{equation}
\begin{cases}
\psi_1= \frac{z_1}{|z|}e^{iS},\\
\psi_2= \frac{z_2}{|z|}e^{iS},\\
\psi_3= \frac{z_3}{|z|}e^{iS},\\
\psi_4= \frac{z_4}{|z|}e^{iS},
\end{cases}
\end{equation}
where [itex](z_j = x_{2j- 1} + ix_{2j})_4[/itex] --- a point north pole of the sphere with radius [itex]|z| = \sqrt{z_1\bar{z}_1 + \cdots + z_4\bar{z}_4}[/itex], and [itex]S = k_{x}x + k_{y}y + k_{z}z-k_{t}t[/itex] --- this is the path length features in the space [itex](t, x, y , z, t^*, x^*, y^*, z^*) [/itex]. Note also that if we are interested in particle-like solutions with the symmetry of the pseudo-sphere radius [itex]\sqrt{z_1\bar{z}_1 + z_2\bar{z}_2 - z_3\bar{z}_3-z_4\bar{z}_4}[/itex], but their internal symmetry is broken by the inequality [itex]\sqrt{z_1\bar{z}_1 + z_2\bar{z}_2} \gg\sqrt{z_3\bar{z}_3 + z_4\bar{z}_4}[/itex], we can limit the two-component spinor describing the symmetry on three-dimensional sphere with radius [itex]\sqrt{z_1\bar{z}_1 + z_2\bar{z}_2}[/itex].

Whether it is worth discussing?

1. What is Minkowski space?

Minkowski space is a concept in physics that combines the three dimensions of space with the dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. It is named after mathematician Hermann Minkowski and is a fundamental concept in the theory of relativity.

2. What does it mean for Minkowski space to be doubled?

Doubling of Minkowski space refers to the process of extending Minkowski space from four dimensions to eight dimensions by adding four additional dimensions. This is commonly done in theoretical physics to incorporate supersymmetry into the theory.

3. What is a spinor wave function?

A spinor wave function is a mathematical representation of a quantum particle's spin state. It is a complex-valued function that describes the spin of a particle in terms of its orientation and angular momentum. It is an important concept in quantum mechanics and is used to describe the behavior of fundamental particles.

4. How are doubled Minkowski space and spinor wave function related?

In supersymmetric theories, the doubled Minkowski space is used to incorporate both bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom. The spinor wave function plays a crucial role in this, as it describes the fermionic particles in the theory. The doubled Minkowski space provides the mathematical framework for studying these particles and their interactions.

5. Are there any practical applications of doubled Minkowski space and spinor wave function?

While these concepts are mostly studied in theoretical physics, there are some practical applications. For example, supersymmetric theories have been used in attempts to unify the fundamental forces of nature, and spinor wave functions have been used in the development of quantum computing algorithms.
