Residual Representations of Spacetime

Abstract

Spacetime is modelled by binary relations - by the classes of the automorphisms $\GL(\C^2)$ of a complex 2-dimensional vector space with respect to the definite unitary subgroup $\U(2)$. In extension of Feynman propagators for particle quantum fields representing only the tangent spacetime structure, global spacetime representations are given, formulated as residues using energy-momentum distributions with the invariants as singularities. The associatated quantum fields are characterized by two invariant masses - for time and position - supplementing the one mass for the definite unitary particle sector with another mass for the indefinite unitary interaction sector without asymptotic particle interpretation.
