Abstract
Bound and scattering state Schrödinger functions of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics as representation matrix elements of space and time are embedded into residual representations of spacetime as generalizations of Feynman propagators. The representation invariants arise as singularities of rational representation functions in the complex energy and complex momentum plane. The homogeneous space GL(ℂ2)U(2) with rank 2, the orientation manifold of the unitary hypercharge-isospin group, is taken as model of nonlinear spacetime. Its representations are characterized by two continuous invariants whose ratio will be related to gauge field coupling constants as residues of the related representation functions. Invariants of product representations define unitary Poincaré group representations with masses for free particles in tangent Minkowski spacetime.
