For the conformally covariant coupled non-linear spinor-scalar fields of the σ -model type we show that the non-trivial vacuum instanton solutions have a geometric meaning as constant spinors on the five-dimensional hypercone. The quantized fields around these solutions correspond to the normal modes of the hypercone. A connection is thus established between field theory, particle spectrum of the fields and quantized excitations of a geometry (the hypercone).


A unified field theory of mesons and their particle sources is proposed and considered in its classical aspects. The theory has static solutions of a singular nature, but finite energy,characterized by spin directions; the number of such entities is a rigorously conserved constant of motion; they interact with an external meson field through a derivative-type coupling with the spins, akin to the formalism of strong-coupling meson theory. There is a conserved current identifiable with isobaric spin, and another that may be related to hyper-charge. The postulates include one constant of the dimensions of length, and another that is conjectured necessarily to have the value ђc , or perhaps ½ ђc , in the quantized theory.

We investigate the idea of a "general boundary" formulation of quantum field theory in the context of the Euclidean free scalar field. We propose a precise definition for an evolution kernel that propagates the field through arbitrary space–time regions. We show that this kernel satisfies an evolution equation which governs its dependence on deformations of the boundary surface and generalizes the ordinary (Euclidean) Schrödinger equation. We also derive the classical counterpart of this equation, which is a Hamilton–Jacobi equation for general boundary surfaces.
