Abstract: | In the Darwinian evolution of physical theories, stability (genericity) has survival value. To convert a singular physical theory based on Lie algebras of several levels into a generic quantum theory with the same levels and nearly the same predictions and symmetries in a limited correspondence domain, it suffices to simplify the algebra of each level by a small homotopy (general quantization). This extends and unifies special relativization, general relativization, and canonical quantization. For exercise I general-quantize the scalar meson field in Minkowski space-time. The predictions of the resulting theory are finite, including its zero-point energy.This updates part of a talk given at Glafka 2005, Athens. quant-ph/0601002 |
