Abstract
The geometro-stochastic quantization of a gauge theory for extended objects based on the (4, 1)-de Sitter group is used for the description of quantized matter in interaction with gravitation. In this context a Hilbert bundle ℋ over curved space-time B is introduced, possessing the standard fiber ℋ\(_{\bar \eta }^{(\rho )} \), being a resolution kernel Hilbert space (with resolution generator\(\tilde \eta \)and generalized coherent state basis) carrying a spin-zero phase space representation of G=SO(4, 1) belonging to the principal series of unitary irreducible representations determined by the parameter ρ. The bundle ℋ, associated to the de Sitter frame bundle P(B, G), provides a geometric arena with built-in fundamental length parameter R (taken to be of the order of 10−13 cm characterizing hadron physics) yielding, in the presence of gravitation, a quantum kinematical framework for the geometro-stochastic description of spinless matter described in terms of generalized quantum mechanical wave functions, Ψxρ(ξ, ζ), defined on #x210B;. By going over to a nonlinear realization of the de Sitter group with the help of a section ξ(x) on the soldered bundle E, associated to P, with homogeneous fiber V′4⋍G/H, one is able to recover gravitation in a de Sitter gauge invariant manner as a gauge theory related to the Lorentz subgroup H of G. ξ(x) plays the dual role of a symmetry-reducing and an extension field. After introducing covariant bilinear source currents in the fields Ψxρ(ξ, ζ) and their adjoints determined by G-invariant integration over the local fibers in ℋ, a quantum fiber dynamical (QFD) framework is set up for the dynamics at small distances in B determining the geometric quantities beyond the classical metric of Einstein's theory through a set of current-curvature field equations representing the source equations for axial vector torsion and the de Sitter boost contributions to the bundle connection (the latter defining the soldering forms of the Cartan connection in P(B, G) in the nonlinear gauge). The presented bundle framework yields a theory for quantized material objects in interaction with gravitation, the long-range metrical part of which remains classical.

On quantum and parallel transport in a Hilbert bundle over spacetime

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the quantum transport law in the Hilbert bundle, specifically on the information which can be obtained from the flat space limit, and gave a detailed proof that quantum transport coincides with parallel transport in the bundle in this limit.

TL;DR: In this article, a geometro-differential quantum theory of extended particles is presented, which is based on Hilbert fiber bundles whose base manifolds are pseudo-Riemannian space-times of points χ which are interpreted as partial aspects of physical reality (the extended particle).

Remark on causality and particle localization

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that under quite general assumptions localization of particles in a finite space region at a given time is inconsistent with causality, and that the same holds for localization in a fixed region of space-time.

The meaning of quantum gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the Bohr-Rosenfeld principles of measurement in Quantum Field Theory are discussed. But they do not consider the effect of the Compton Effect on quantum field theory.
