• Title: Quantum mechanics with quaternionic mass
• Authors: A. I. Arbab
• Abstract summary: The momentum eigen-value equation with quaternionic mass yields the Klein-Gordon equation with a mass consisting of longitudinal and traverse masses. A quantum force acting on the particle is found to be proportional to its velocity. When the particle field is coupled to an electromagnetic field, an additional term in the particle's energy appears reflecting the interaction of the particle's angular momentum with the magnetic field.

• Abstract: Quantum mechanics with quaternionic mass is considered. The momentum eigen-value equation with quaternionic mass yields the Klein-Gordon equation with a mass consisting of longitudinal and traverse masses. The scalar field total mass is found to be a sum of these masses. This field appears to be connected with two subfields conserving linear momentum. It is found that a particle with real mass satisfies the quantum Telegraph equation, whereas that one with quaternionic mass satisfies the Klein-Gordon equation. A quantum force acting on the particle is found to be proportional to its velocity. When the particle field is coupled to an electromagnetic field, an additional term in the particle's energy appears reflecting the interaction of the particle's angular momentum with the magnetic field.

  We show that the stability of particle trajectories on the brane gives us the Bohr--Sommerfeld quantization condition. The particle's motion along the extra dimension allows us to formulate a geometrical version of the uncertainty principle. We show that the particle's motion along the extra dimension yields a quantized energy spectrum for bound states.

  We show that the gauge freedoms of Electromagnetism and General Relativity naturally arise as manifestations of an inertial observer's perception of the internal quantum states of a photon and a graviton. We show that gauge freedom is exhibited by all massless particles, except those with spin-0 and 1/2.
