Product associativity in scator algebras and the quantum wave function collapse

Abstract: The scator product in 1 + n dimensions for n > 1, is associative if all possible product pairs have a non vanishing additive scalar component. The product is in general, not associative in the additive representation whenever the additive scalar component of a product pair is zero. A particular case of this statement is non associativity due to zero products of non zero factors. These features of scator algebra could be used to model the quantum wave function evolution and collapse in a unified description.

“…The scator product is always commutative as can be seen from the symmetry of the scator components in the product definition. The product is associative if all possible product pairs have a nonvanishing additive scalar component . However, the product operation is not bilinear in the scator components; therefore, the product does not distribute over addition but in some particular cases ,.…”

“…In a recent communication, where the scator product associativity conditions were established, it was suggested that scator algebra seemed a promising route to provide a unified description of quantum dynamics. The two distinct procedures U (unitary time evolution propagator) and R (reduction), required in order to describe a quantum system, are referred to as the quantum measurement problem .…”

“…In the additive representation, associativity is only insured if all possible product pairs have nonvanishing additive scalar component. 15 Nonetheless, it is always commutative as can be seen from the symmetry of the scator components in the product definition. The product operation is not bilinear in the scator components; therefore, the product does not distribute over addition but in some particular cases.…”

“…The scator product provides a natural object to model the quantum wave function evolution and collapse with a single operation. 15 In Section 2, the structure of imaginary scator algebra is shortly presented. In Section 3.1, we extend the concept of differential quotients to define scator derivatives.…”

“…However, the scator product is not bilinear, thus, it cannot be represented as a matrix -matrix product. The scator product provides an interesting route for a unified mathematical description of quantum dynamics, encompassing the quantum system time evolution and its reduction to observed states [8]. Scator algebra has also been successfully applied to other problems, such as a time-space description in deformed Lorentz metrics and three dimensional fractal structures [9,10].…”
