From the DeDonder-Weyl Hamiltonian formalism to quantization of Gravity
Abstract
Description
An approach to quantization of fields and gravity based on the De Donder-Weyl covariant Hamiltonian formalism is outlined. It leads to a hypercomplex extension of quantum mechanics in which the algebra of complex numbers is replaced by the space-time Clifford algebra and all space-time variables enter on equal footing. A covariant hypercomplex analogue of the Schrödinger equation is formulated. Elements of quantization of General Relativity within the present framework are sketched.
