Gravitational instanton in Hilbert space and the mass of high energy elementary particles

While the theory of relativity was formulated in real spacetime geometry, the exact formulation of quantum mechanics is in a mathematical construction called Hilbert space. For this reason transferring a solution of Einstein’s field equation to a quantum gravity Hilbert space is far of being a trivial problem. On the other hand ε(∞) spacetime which is assumed to be real is applicable to both, relativity theory and quantum mechanics. Consequently, one may expect that a solution of Einstein’s equation could be interpreted more smoothly at the quantum resolution using the Cantorian ε(∞) theory. In the present paper we will attempt to implement the above strategy to study the Eguchi–Hanson gravitational instanton solution and its interpretation by ‘t Hooft in the context of quantum gravity Hilbert space as an event and a possible solitonic “extended” particle. Subsequently we do not only reproduce the result of ‘t Hooft but also find the mass of a fundamental “exotic” symplictic-transfinite particle m 1.8 MeV as well as the mass Mx and M (Planck) which are believed to determine the GUT and the total unification of all fundamental interactions respectively. This may be seen as a further confirmation to an argument which we put forward in various previous publications in favour of an alternative mass acquisition mechanism based on unification and duality considerations. Thus even in case that we never find the Higgs particle experimentally, the standard model would remain substantially intact as we can appeal to tunnelling and unification arguments to explain the mass. In fact a minority opinion at present is that finding the Higgs particle is not a final conclusive argument since one could ask further how the Higgs particle came to its mass which necessitates a second Higgs field. By contrast the present argument could be viewed as an ultimate theory based on the existence of a “super” force, beyond which nothing else exists.
