Overview

This monograph explains and analyzes the principles of a quantum-geometric framework for the unification of general relativity and quantum theory. By taking advantage of recent advances in areas like fibre and superfibre bundle theory, Krein spaces, gauge fields and groups, coherent states, etc., these principles can be consistently incorporated into a framework that can justifiably be said to provide the foundations for a quantum extrapolation of general relativity. This volume aims to present this approach in a way which places as much emphasis on fundamental physical ideas as on their precise mathematical implementation. References are also made to the ideas of Einstein, Bohr, Born, Dirac, Heisenberg and others, in order to set the work presented here in an appropriate historical context.Contents: Survey of Principal Historical DevelopmentsClassical Frame Buddles in General RelativityQuantum Frames and Spacetime LocalizabilityQuantum Geometry over a Classical Base SpacetimeMassive Quantum-Geometic Boson FieldsMassive Quantum-Geometric Fermion FieldsMassless Quantum-Geometric Gauge FieldsQuantum-Geometric GravityReadership: Theoretical physicists and mathematical physicists.
