This community is dedicated to the on-going research on multi-fold theory. All our original documents and papers are available at https://shmaesphysics.wordpress.com/shmaes-physics-site-navigation/. 

These papers are first published online before being published a while later. Because of time availability, publications are, in general, limited to pre-print servers. The web papers can be cited as permanent publications, as can the pre-prints. Latest revisions with incorporated errata etc will be published here, often instead of as an incremental version on the original preprint server. Incremental versions are also published at the original preprint server, if convenient per the policies of these servers.  

Main documents to get started or have an overview of the multi-fold theory are:Published version (V2): Stephane H.

Overview of the Multi-fold Theory:

Soundbite

 

Quantum Physics with entanglement imposes a non-local wavefunction behavior, yet Lorentz invariance impose no supra-luminosity. Gravity (metrics or spacetime curvature) is the result of spacetime going out of its way, and contorting , to support such requirements, as demanded by the content of the universe.

The multi-fold theory is about explaining that and all the consequences of it.

More details

In a multi-fold universe, gravity emerges from Entanglement through the multi-fold mechanisms. As a result, gravity-like effects appear in between entangled particles, that they be real or virtual. Long range, massless gravity results from entanglement of massless virtual particles. Entanglement of massive virtual particles leads to massive gravity contributions at very smalls scales. Multi-folds mechanisms also result into a spacetime that is discrete, with a random walk fractal structure and non-commutative geometry that is Lorentz invariant and where spacetime nodes and particles can be modeled with microscopic black holes. All these recover General Relativity (GR) at large scales and semi-classical models remain valid till smaller scale than usually expected. Gravity can therefore be added to the Standard Model resulting into what we defined as SMG, the Standard Model (SM)with gravity interactions not negligible at the SM scales. This can contribute to resolving several open issues with the Standard Model without New Physics other than gravity, i.e. no new particles or forces. These considerations hints at a even stronger relationship between gravity and the Standard Model.

Among the multi-fold SMG discoveries, the apparition of an-always in-flight, and hence non-interacting, right-handed neutrinos, coupled to the Higgs boson is quite notable. It is supposedly always around right-handed neutrinos, due to chirality flips by gravity of the massless Weyl fermions, induced by 7D space time matter models and hidden behind the Higgs boson or field at the entry points and exit points of the multi-folds. Massless Higgs bosons modeled as minimal microscopic black holes mark concretized spacetime location. They can condensate into Dirac Kerr-Newman soliton Qballs to produce massive and charged particles, thereby providing a microscopic explanation for a Higgs driven inflation, the electroweak symmetry breaking, the Higgs mechanism, the mass acquisition and the chirality of fermions and spacetime; all resulting from the multi-fold gravity electroweak symmetry breaking.

The original multi-fold paper proposes contributions to several open problems in physics, like the reconciliation of General Relativity (GR) with Quantum Physics, explaining the origin of gravity proposed as emerging from quantum (EPR- Einstein Podolsky Rosen) entanglement between particles, detailing contributions to dark matter and dark energy, and explaining other Standard Model mysteries without requiring New Physics beyond the Standard Model other than the addition of gravity to the Standard Model Lagrangian. All this is achieved in a multi-fold universe that may well model our real universe, which remains to be validated.

With the proposed model, spacetime and Physics are modeled from Planck scales to quantum and macroscopic scales and semi-classical approaches appear valid till very small scales. In the original paper, it is argued that spacetime is discrete, with a random walk-based fractal structure, fractional and noncommutative at, and above Planck scales (with a 2-D behavior and Lorentz invariance preserved by random walks till the early moments of the universe). Spacetime results from past random walks of particles. Spacetime locations and particles can be modeled as microscopic black holes (Schwarzschild for photons and concretized spacetime coordinates, and metrics between Reisner Nordstrom, and Kerr Newman for massive and possibly charged particles – the latter being possibly extremal). Although possibly surprising, the original paper recovers results consistent with others, while also being able to justify the initial assumptions of black holes from the gravity or entanglement model in a multi-fold universe.  The resulting gravity model recovers General Relativity at larger scale, as a 4D process, with massless gravity, but also with massive gravity components at very small scale that make gravity non-negligible at these scales. Semi-classical models also turn out to work well till way smaller scales that usually expected. One may also encounter different coupling values at very small scales, in the 2D massless random walk regime.

In recent works, the real universe is theoretically multi-fold, and the E/G conjecture is factual in the real universe. With this, we can recover the whole multi-fold theory from GR a Planck scale. It is what we call the top-down-up-and-upper derivation of multi-fold theory. We have also repeatedly encountered multi-folds (like) phenomena in the real universe, at Planck scales. It is contained in the GR equations at Planck scales, just as we already obtained when rigorously, and correctly, quantizing the Hilbert Einstein Action. Multi-folds are contained in the Yang Mills scattering Feynman diagrams with its double copy behavior. They are also encountered in superstrings and M-theory, through its AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture. Dark matter observations also seem to indicate support for its multi-fold explanation as another indication that the E/G conjecture is factual.  

Even more recent results have used the multi-fold works to prove asymptotic safety of gravity in the real universe, the mass gap conjecture as valid only in a discrete spacetime; to derive the symmetries of the standard model and to predict the ratios of dark matter and dark energy in the universe.

Inspired by multi-fold theory considerations, We also discuss many challenges encountered in Superstrings (and M-theory as well as the AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture), GUTs, TOEs, LQG and other quantum gravity theory and limitations of conventional Quantum Physics and QFT. We propose a new interpretation of conjectures like ER = EPR and GR = QM as different facets of multi-fold theory can neither can model on their own. Both misses consideration and can at best introduce wormholes or entanglement. The important point is that the conjectures become factual when seen as such facets. It also relates to a new interpretation of quantum Physics and wave function around the W-type multi-fold hypothesis.

Conversely, GR and Quantum physics, including path integrals, the Born rule, and wave functions, can be recovered through different paths from multi-fold spacetime reconstruction and the W-type multi-fold hypothesis. Again, in a multi-fold universe, GR and Quantum Physics are not incompatible, they are just different facets of multi-fold mechanisms, something that neither theory can well model.

With the Ultimate Unification, we suspect that there are no new fundamental particle above the energy scales of the gravity electroweak symmetry breaking.
