Abstract

Description

Spacetime is modelled as a homogeneous manifold given by the classes of unitary $\U(2)$ operations in the general complex operations $\GL(\C^2)$. The residual representations of this noncompact symmetric space of rank two are characterized by two continuous real invariants, one invariant interpreted as a particle mass for a positive unitary subgroup and the second one for an indefinite unitary subgroup related to nonparticle interpretable interaction ranges. Fields represent nonlinear spacetime $\GL(\C^2)/\U(2)$ by their quantization and include necessarily nonparticle contributions in the timelike part of their flat space Feynman propagator.
