Non-Relativistic Quantum Mechanics in Multidimensional Geometric Frameworks

A generalized formulation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics is developed within multidimensional geometric (NG) frameworks characterized by a power-law dispersion relation (E \propto |p|^{j}), where (j = N - 1). Starting from the generalized Minkowski distance in (L^j)-normed spaces, the conventional quadratic kinetic structure of three-dimensional geometry is extended to higher-order spatial derivatives, yielding a consistent (j)-th order Schrödinger equation. The formalism is applied to free particles and to particles confined within a one-dimensional infinite potential well for 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G geometries. While plane-wave solutions and translational invariance are preserved, the spectral structure is modified, with bound-state energies scaling as ((2n+1)^{j}), leading to cubic and quartic growth in higher geometries. The corresponding eigenfunctions exhibit mixed exponential, trigonometric, and hyperbolic forms determined by the roots of negative unity. A generalized probability framework based on (j)-fold conjugation is introduced, ensuring a real-valued probability density and consistent expectation values. Despite these generalizations, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is preserved. The formulation presents quantum mechanics as a geometry-dependent theory in which dispersion relations, spectral properties, and probabilistic structure emerge from the underlying spatial metric.

💡 Research Summary

The paper presents a systematic extension of non‑relativistic quantum mechanics (NRQM) to a family of “N‑dimensional geometric” (NG) frameworks, each characterized by a power‑law dispersion relation (E\propto|p|^{j}) with the exponent (j=N-1). The authors begin by defining a generalized Minkowski distance in an (L^{j})‑normed space, \
