Quantum Properties and Gravitational Field of a Proper Time Oscillator

We find that a field with oscillations of matter in proper time has the properties of a zero-spin bosonic field. A particle observed in this field is a proper time oscillator. Neglecting all quantum effects, a proper time oscillator can mimic a point mass at rest in general relativity. The spacetime outside a 'stationary' proper time oscillator is a Schwarzschild field.

Schwarzschild Field of a Proper Time Oscillator

In this paper, we show that an oscillator in proper time can mimic a point mass at rest in general relativity. The spacetime outside this proper time oscillator is static and satisfies the Schwarzschild solution.

Proper time operator and its uncertainty relation

We study the quantum properties of an oscillator in proper time. This proper time oscillator is a particle model with mass that is on shell. Its internal time can be treated as a self-adjoint operator. The displaced time and displaced time rate of the oscillator obey an uncertainty relation resembling the one between position and momentum, which is different from the usual energy-time uncertainty relation. In addition, we demonstrate that a matter field with proper time oscillators satisfies the Klein-Gordon equation. It has properties of a zero-spin quantum field. The formulations adopted permits a more symmetrical treatment between time and space in a matter field.

Self-Adjoint Time Operator of a Quantum Field

We study the properties of a quantum field with time as a dynamical variable. Temporal vibrations are introduced to restore the symmetry between time and space in a matter field. The system with vibrations of matter in time and space obeys the Klein-Gordon equation and Schrodinger equation. The energy observed is quantized under the constraint that a particle's mass is on shell. This real scalar field has the same properties of a zero-spin bosonic field. Furthermore, the internal time of this system can be represented by a self-adjoint operator without contradicting the Pauli's theorem. Neutrino can be an interesting candidate for investigating the effects of these temporal and spatial vibrations because of its extremely light weight.
