Abstract
In this paper, continued from the last paper (Ikeda, 1974), two kinds of structurological generalizations of our nonlocal field (i.e., the (x, ψ) field) are considered physicogeometrically. One is a Finslerian generalization, where the base field [i.e., the (x) field] is extended to a Finslerian field and Weyl's gauge field (i.e., the electromagnetic potential) is physically identified with the directional vector adopted as the internal variable in the ordinary nonlocal field theory. Another is a generalization by which the spinor (ψ) itself is taken as an independent variable, where some inherent characteristics ofψ are fused into the spatial structure. The latter is regarded as a “nonlocalization” of the (x) field accomplished by attachingψ to each point, in the true sense of the word. Particularly, the spatial structures of these generalized nonlocal fields are described in detail.
