Construction of a Kaluza-Klein type Theory from One Dimension (1610.04456v1)

Abstract: We describe how a physical theory incorporating the properties of fields deriving from extra-dimensional structures over a four-dimensional spacetime manifold can in principle be obtained through the analysis of a simple initial structure consisting of the one dimension of time alone, as represented by the real line. The simplicity of this starting point leads to symmetries of multi-dimensional forms of time, from which a geometrical structure can be derived which is similar to the framework employed in non-Abelian Kaluza-Klein theories. This leads to a relationship between the external and internal curvature on the spacetime manifold unified through the underlying constraint of the one dimension of time for the theory presented here. We also describe how the symmetry breaking structure is compatible with the Coleman-Mandula theorem for the subsequent quantisation of the theory.
