Real Projective Geodesics Embedded In Complex Manifolds

Focus of this study is to explore some aspects of mathematical foundations for using complex manifolds as a model for space-time. More specifically, certain equations of motions have been derived as a Projective geodesic on a real manifold embedded within a complex one. To that goal, first the geodesic on complex manifold has been computed using local complex and conjugate coordinates, and then its projection on the real sub-manifold has been studied. The projective geodesic, thus obtained, is shown to have additional terms beyond the usual Christoffel symbols, and hence expands the geodesic to capture effects beyond the mere gravitational ones.

A Variance Inequality for Meromorphic Measurement Functions under Exterior Probability

The problem of measuring an unbounded system attribute near a singularity has been discussed. Lenses have been introduced as formal objects to study increasingly precise measurements around the singularity and a specific family of lenses called Exterior probabilities have been investigated. It has been shown that under such probabilities, measurement variance of a measurable function around a 1st order pole on a complex manifold, consists of two separable parts - one that decreases with diminishing scale of the lenses, and the other that increases. It has been discussed how this framework can lend mathematical support to ideas of non-deterministic uncertainty prevalent at a quantum scale. In fact, the aforementioned variance decomposition allows for a minimum possible variance for such a system irrespective of how close the measurements are. This inequality is structurally similar to Heisenberg uncertainty relationship if one considers energy/momentum to be a meromorphic function of a complex spacetime.
