Localization, CP-symmetry and neutrino signals of the Dirac matter

Abstract

The connection between the Dirac field as the field of matter and the spacetime metric is discussed within the framework of classical field theory. Polarization structure of the Dirac field is shown to be rich enough to determine the spacetime metric locally and to explain the emergence of observed matter as localized waveforms. The localization of the waveforms is explained as the result of the local time slowdown and the Lorentz contraction as a dynamic re-shaping of the waveforms in the course of their acceleration. A definition of mass as a limiting curvature of the spinor-induced metric is proposed. A view of the vacuum as a uniformly distributed unit invariant density of the Dirac field with an explicitly preserved invariance of the light cone is brought forward. Qualitative explanation of the observed charge asymmetry as the consequence of the dynamics of localization is given. The origin of the CP-violation is associated with the loss of the Poincare invariance due to localization. Neutrinos are identified with the signals emitted in the abrupt processes of creation or decay of localized objects and the concept of the Majorana neutrino is revisited. The wave equation for the classical pion field is derived from the Dirac equation. Its connection with stresses, mass and charge fluxes in localized waveforms of the Dirac field is traced. Some implications of the finite size of colliding objects for high-energy processes are discussed. A possible difference between the lifetimes and gyromagnetic ratios for positive and negative charges is predicted. A hypothesis that known internal degrees of freedom are the local spacetime (angular) coordinates that have no precise counterparts in Riemannian geometry is proposed.

Why we should condition denoising diffusion generative models on windows of past observations

Data assimilation (DA) is, traditionally, a cycling process that relies on time-dependent priors to propagate information from past observations to future cycles. Using denoising diffusion generative modeling for DA is challenging because standard approaches use a fixed training data set, which in turn leads to a static prior that ignores information from past observations. Because past observations are ignored, DA systems with static priors lead to larger posterior errors than cycling DA systems. Incorporating time-dependent priors into generative models, however, requires expensive and frequent retraining. Motivated by linear systems theory - where the dependence of a prediction of a Kalman filter on past observations decays exponentially - we condition diffusion models on short windows of past observations. Specifically, we describe training procedures for two frameworks: a diffusion DA system predicting the current state given a set of past observations, and a diffusion ``direct observation prediction'' (DOP) system, predicting future observations given a set of past observations. Using a canonical linear system, we show that both systems can achieve the minimal posterior error characteristic of a fully-cycled DA/DOP system, without re-training, provided the time windows are long enough. The linear setup ensures analytical tractability, avoids confounding neural network training errors, and confirms that conditioning on windows of past observations is required for efficient and accurate diffusion-based DA or DOP.

The kinematic structures and the inertial geometry of a moving charge

We ask how much of the geometry a charged particle moves in is fixed by its motion, and how much a particle must bring. We ask of a symplectic structure only that it relate velocity to momentum as Hamilton's equations do, and we ask it of every energy at once. In particular, we show that the structures meeting that demand are the canonical one and its twists by a closed two-form of the base. A field provides the two-form, a particle the multiplier before it, which we identify constitutively with its charge. Thus, a single energy governs a family of structures, and each particle takes the one its charge fixes. We then ask what a particle must bring to be given a momentum, and we show that the degree of that map settles the degree at which a field enters Newton's Second Law. An antisymmetric bilinear form returns no Lorentz force, whilst a Randers metric returns one --- a length whose difference from a Riemannian one is linear in the velocity. Moreover, we find that metric already within the twisted structure, as its primitive over a level of the free energy, and its law of transport to be nonlinear, no affine connection being known to serve. Under an indefinite signature the length parts from the dynamics, and the extremals turn from shortest to longest. On the round sphere a monopole flux leaves no such metric, whilst the transport remains and prequantisation, given a unit of action, restricts the charge to a lattice. In this manner, we conclude that each charge-to-mass ratio receives a geometry of its own, so that by a functionalist criterion none of them is the spacetime of a charged particle.
