Quantum mechanics as the dynamical geometry of trajectories

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We illustrate how non-relativistic quantum mechanics may be recovered from a dynamical Weyl geometry on configuration space and an `ensemble' of trajectories (or `worlds'). The theory, which is free of a physical wavefunction, is presented starting from a classical `many-systems' action to which a curvature term is added. In this manner the equations of equilibrium de~Broglie-Bohm theory are recovered. However, naïvely the set of solution precludes solutions with non-zero angular momentum (a version of a problem raised by Wallstrom). This is remedied by a slight extension of the action, leaving the equations of motion unchanged.
