Summary
We show that the operation of charge conjugation (and hence alsoCPT) can be realized as an actual geometric transformation within the framework of Segal’s chronogeometric theory. We also discuss some geometric questions connected to the foundations of the chronogeometric theory.
Riassunto
Si dimostra che l’operazione di coniugazione della carica (e quindi anche laCPT) si puó realizzare con un’effettiva trasformazione geometrica reale entro la struttura della teoria cronogeometrica di Segal. Si discutono anche alcune questioni geometriche connesse con i fondamenti della teoria cronogeometrica.
Реэюме
Покаэывается, что операция эарядового сопряжения (и, следовательно,CPT) может быть реалиэована, как реальное геометрическое преобраэование в рамках хроногеометрической теории Сегала. Мы также обсуждаем некоторые геометрические вопросы, свяэанные с обоснованием хроногеометрической теории.
