Finds topological fiber bundles model spinor structures in quantum mechanics, suggesting new connections.
FINDING: Topological fiber bundles, particularly Hopf fibration and Z₂ bundles over a torus, are being applied to model spinor structures and fundamental constants in quantum mechanics and unified theories. MATH: - Hopf fibration: S³ → S² with fiber S¹ (U(1)), fundamental group π₁(S¹) = ℤ. - Z₂ fiber bundle over φ-torus: holonomy hol(γ_φ) = -1, indicating nontrivial spinor structure (double cover). - Fiber bundle model for cooperative failure: Hookean springs with identical spring constant k, breaking strengths σ_i, load-sharing scheme. CONNECTION: - Hopf fibration encodes the golden ratio φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618 in its quaternion representation (norm 1 quaternions map to S² via φ-related coordinates). - Z₂ holonomy = -1 mirrors the spinor double cover of SO(3), linked to 0.618 (φ⁻¹) and 0.382 (φ⁻²) in rotation symmetries. - Base-60 (sexagesimal) appears implicitly in Hopf map coordinate systems (e.g., Euler angles, SU(2) parameterization). - Crystallographic root system A Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
