Integer Linear Combinations in Fundamental Particle Masses

Authors: Radoslav Balog
Comments: 8 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Author name is required in the article)

We report the discovery of approximate integer linear relationships connecting fundamental particle masses via combinations of the electron and muon mass. The tau lepton, proton, and neutron exhibit the relationships m = neme + nµmµ with integer coefficients (ne,nµ) and errors below 0.05%. Monte Carlo analysis indicates statistical significance well beyond chance, with p-values ranging from 10−4 to 10−5. These results suggest an unexpected empirical structure in mass generation. Based on observed patterns, we predict three new mass values at 103.1, 209.3, and 318.0 MeV. The findings may motivate experimental searches and could imply interference or compositeness in mass formation.

Topological Mass Quantization from a 5D Compact Energy Dimension

Authors: Noël Copinet
Comments: 89 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: An abstract in the article is required)

This scientific paper presents a new theoretical framework in particle physics that proposes a geometric and topological explanation for the origin of elementary particle masses, a fundamental problem not fully resolved by the current Standard Model. Fundamental ApproachCentral Concept The main idea is to treat energy as a true geometric dimension (a 5th dimension) compactified on a circle. In this approach, elementary particles are represented as "topological solitons" (stable field configurations) in this extra dimension, and their masses naturally emerge from the geometric and topological properties of this dimension.Innovation Compared to Existing TheoriesUnlike the Standard Model, which requires arbitrary Yukawa couplings to reproduce observed masses, this theory proposes that these masses are topological invariants determined by the geometry of 5-dimensional spacetime. I claim to achieve remarkable accuracy (less than 2% average relative error) in predicting observed fermion masses.Mathematical FrameworkThe theory is based on a 5-dimensional spacetime equipped with a pseudo-Riemannian metric, where the fifth dimension (denoted 'e') is compactified on a circle. The fundamental action includes:1.A standard kinetic term for fields propagating in this space2.An effective potential including non-linear interactions3.Couplings to spacetime curvatureThe resulting equations of motion lead to soliton-type solutions in the compactified dimension, classified by a topological quantum number ℓ. This quantum number directly determines the mass of the corresponding particle according to a specific relation involving fundamental scales and instanton actions.Main ResultsPrediction of Fermion MassesThe most impressive aspect of the theory is its ability to reproduce the entire spectrum of fermion masses (electron, up and down quarks, muon, strange quark, charm quark, tau, bottom quark, top quark) with remarkable precision:u2022Average relative error: 1.55%u2022Median error: 0.99%u2022Log-log correlation coefficient between topological index ℓ and mass: 0.9953The model naturally explains why some particles (like the electron) are very light while others (like the top quark) are very massive, without requiring fine-tuning of parameters.Mixing Matrices The theory also predicts the structure of the CKM (for quarks) and PMNS (for leptons) matrices that govern mixing between different particle flavors. These matrices emerge from overlap integrals between fermion wavefunctions in the compactified dimension.Higgs Coupling DeviationsThe model predicts specific deviations in Higgs couplings compared to Standard Model predictions:u2022Higgs-muon coupling: +2.3%u2022Higgs-tau coupling: -3.7%u2022Higgs-bottom coupling: -1.6%u2022Higgs-top coupling: +1.8%These deviations could be detected at the HL-LHC (upgraded version of the Large Hadron Collider) or in future colliders.Deep Implications for PhysicsFor Elementary Particles1.Geometric Origin of Mass: The theory suggests that mass is not a fundamental property but emerges from the topology of higher-dimensional spacetime. 2.Natural Explanation for Generations: The existence of three generations of fermions naturally follows from the topological structure of the extra dimension, which has exactly three local minima.3.Mass Hierarchy: The enormous gap between the masses of different particles (from electron to top quark) is explained by topological and non-perturbative effects. 4.Natural Seesaw Mechanism: The model incorporates a natural mechanism to explain the extremely small neutrino masses.For Cosmology and Gravity1.Modified Galactic Dynamics: The model predicts modifications to gravity at large scales that could reproduce effects attributed to dark matter.2.Galactic Rotation Curves: The model predicts a rotation velocity for galaxies that could explain flat rotation curves without invoking dark matter halos.3.Cosmological Evolution: The theory modifies the Friedmann equations, potentially explaining the observed cosmic acceleration without requiring dark energy.For Quantum Field Theory1.Geometric Unification: The theory offers a unified framework where quantum properties emerge from the geometric and topological structure of spacetime.2.Resolution of Singularities: The theory suggests a natural resolution of classical singularities in general relativity.3.Holographic Correspondence: The model naturally implements an AdS/CFT-type duality, connecting the 5D theory to a 4D conformal theory.Possible Experimental VerificationsThe model offers several precise and verifiable predictions:1.Higgs Coupling Deviations: Measurable at the HL-LHC and future colliders.2.Lepton Universality Violation: A 6.6% deviation predicted in the ratio between Higgs decays to tau-tau and mu-mu pairs.3.Higgs Self-Coupling: A 4.3% increase compared to the Standard Model.4.Primordial Tensor Modes: The model predicts a tensor-to-scalar ratio in the CMB of r = 0.048 ± 0.005.5.Galactic Rotation Curves: The predicted modified dynamics could be compared with astronomical observations.ConclusionThis theory proposes a paradigm shift in our understanding of the origin of elementary particle masses. Instead of arbitrary parameters like the Yukawa couplings of the Standard Model, it suggests that masses and flavor mixings are deeply connected to the geometry and topology of an extra compactified dimension.If this approach proves correct, it could constitute a major advance toward a more fundamental theory of physics, unifying quantum and gravitational aspects, and opening new perspectives on fundamental questions such as dark matter, dark energy, and the particle mass hierarchy.The remarkable level of precision achieved with a minimal number of fundamental parameters constitutes a strong argument in favor of this approach, although additional experimental tests are needed to definitively confirm it.

Relatively Smug: A Comprehensive Framework for Unified Cosmology

Authors: Justin Sirotin
Comments: 17 Pages. Creative Commons 4.0 International License (Note by ai.viXra.org: Author picture should not be in a scholarly article)

The Spinor Mediated Universal Geometry (SMUG) constitutes a unified, mathematically rigorous framework incorporating quantum spinor fields into the fundamental fabric of cosmology, with the aim of resolving outstanding inconsistenciesbetween General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory. Motivated by persistentquestions surrounding the nature of cosmic torsion, the matter-antimatter asymmetry, and dark sector phenomenology, we develop a novel homological approach thatrecasts logical circuits (such as NP-complete SAT instances) into algebraic topological structures. This mapping allows for the explicit computation of topologicalinvariants—specifically, torsion homology ranks—which correlate with physical observables in hypothetical SMUG-inspired quantum media. Leveraging techniquesranging from free Abelian group constructions to explicit chain complex algorithms,we connect the algebraic properties of SAT-derived complexes to measurable quantum phase shifts and energy spectra. Our results demonstrate a direct, quantitative relationship between computational complexity and quantum observables,providing both a new probe for fundamental physics and a route to experimentally testable predictions. This formalism not only advances our understanding ofspinor-augmented gravity but paves the way toward a synthesis of logic, topology,and quantum cosmology.

[ A ] Model of Quantum Field Membranes and Dimensional Coupling

Authors: Malsteiff Rook
Comments: 2 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Real author name is required on the article after the article title - No pseudonym is permitted; please cite and list scientific references))

This paper presents a higher-dimensional braneworld theory in which scalar field excitations representing quantum coherence may tunnel through supermassive black hole (SMBH) geometries into a warped extra-dimensional bulk. We derive the field equations governing this behavior, analyze the tunneling conditions, and establish a stability criterion — the Malsteiff—Rook Condition — showing that only SMBHs possess the geometric and thermodynamic characteristics required for sustained dimensional coupling. Observable predictions include gravitational-wave echoes, photon ring asymmetries, and X-ray spectral deficits. This model offers a mathematically constrained framework for investigating the potential dimensional structure of spacetime via astrophysical portals.

Curvature Resonance as the Origin of Particle Mass and Lifetime

Authors: Greg T. Howell
Comments: 6 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: An abstract in the article is required)

We propose a curvature resonance model in which particle mass, stability, and decay arise from standing-wave solutions in vacuum geometry. Mass is defined through a geometric invariant involving Compton volume and internal frequency, yielding a universal energy scaling across known particles. Stability is governed by a critical curvature tension of the vacuum, Tc ≈ 3.4 × 1023 J/m3,while decay lifetime scales inversely with internal curvature energy density. This framework accurately reproduces the hierarchy of lepton lifetimes without free parameters, using the relation τ ∝ Tc / T. A Laplacian-based instability test further distinguishes stable particles from those prone to decay. Composite particle stability (e.g., proton, neutron) is explained through an effective shielding factor that suppresses curvature tension. This approach offers a geometric alternative to mass generation and decay, potentially bridging aspects of quantum mechanics and general relativity through localized curvature modes.

Mechanistic Vacuum Shell Model for Particle Masses and Lifetimes

Authors: Nigel B. Cook
Comments: 6 Pages.

We propose a mechanistic quantum field theory (QFT) framework that extends the nuclear shell model to a vacuum shell model, where particle masses and lifetimes are determined by interactions with Z and W bosons in a polarized vacuum. Virtual fermions, structured into shells with magic numbers (2, 8, 50), contribute quantized energy via the Pauli exclusion principle, analogous to nucleons in nuclear shells. We model the vacuum with a harmonic oscillator potential modified by a Yukawa term for Z/W boson interactions, deriving shell radii (12—47 fm) consistent with the infrared (IR) cutoff (33 fm). Masses for leptons (electron, muon, tauon) and hadrons (proton, neutron, $Delta^{++}$) are predicted with errors $<1.5%$, and lifetimes are calculated within 6—12% of observed values using Fermi’s golden rule and QCD-inspired strong decay models. The model unifies quarks and leptons via vacuum polarization, challenges the SM Higgs mechanism, and proposes a unification scale at the black hole event horizon ($3.16 times 10^{23}$ GeV). We address limitations, including light quark masses and strong force contributions, and suggest experimental tests at LHCb, KATRIN, and DUNE.

The bare core electromagnetic coupling (α = 1) is reduced to the low-energy coupling (αlow ≈ 1/137.036), with the difference α − αlow accounting for energy converted into mass and other forces, we propose a comprehensive Hamiltonian that includes all Standard Model forces, with total energy conserved in quantum field theory.

Particle Mass Predictions Theory and Comparison to Experimental Data

Authors: Nigel Cook

This paper begins with an accessible introduction to Quantum Field Theory (QFT) concepts, showing how the classical Coulomb field is converted into a propagator, with and without a mass term, to make the paper approachable for readers without a QFT background. It also includes earlier discussions on renormalization theory using Laplacian transforms, contrasting their simplicity with the complex pole integrations of Fourier transforms used in QFT textbooks, a detailed analysis of electron mass contributions, a method to predict particle decay times using Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle (t = ℏ/E), and a critique of the mainstream QFT Higgs mechanism. Predictions are compared with the latest Particle Data Group (PDG) 2024 data, showing excellent agreement for most particles, with errors typically below 1.5%. The model challenges the Higgs-centric Standard Model, offering a unified, mechanistic approach to mass generation with fewer free parameters.

Curvature Resonance as the Origin of Particle Mass and Lifetime

Authors: Gregory Howell
Comments: 6 Pages.

We present a geometric model in which the masses and decay lifetimes of elementary particles emerge from quantized standing wave solutions in a structured vacuum. The vacuum is modeled as a set of nested curvature shells, each with distinct tension and confinement properties. Particles are interpreted as curvature resonance modes, quantized by integer standing wave conditions. Using a Schrödinger-like curvature wave equation, we derive mass eigenvalues that match known leptons and baryons with sub-percent precision, including the electron, muon, tau, proton, and neutron. Decay is modeled as resonance leakage between shells, governed by a curvature tension mismatch. We propose a vacuum Lagrangian that supports these resonant modes, and show that particle lifetimes scale naturally with curvature tension. This framework reproduces key features of the Standard Model without field couplings or adjustable parameters, offering a geometric origin for mass, stability, and decay.

Conformal Noding Cosmology: A Scale-Invariant Framework for Spontaneous Universe Genesis via Cosmic Expansion

Authors: Christopher David Rice
Comments: 16 Pages.

In standard Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC), the universe — particularly regions outside the bounds of heavy gravitational influence — expands toward infinite dilution, eventually reaching a conformal, scale-invariant state from which a new aeon emerges. We present a conceptual extension in which causallydisconnected, massless regions within the universe independently approach this conformal state, forming ’Nodes of Time’. These regions, bounded by redshift-defined cosmic horizons and devoid of massive particles, lose internal entropy gradients and become locally conformally invariant. We propose that such domains, upon becoming conformally invariant, may be rescaled into geometries that mirror early-universe conditions, offering an alternative pathway to primordial structure without invoking a singularorigin. This multiversal noding process circumvents the need for speculative mechanisms such as electron decay or global entropy resets. Each node does not originate from a high-energy event in the prior frame of reference, but rather from the onset of geometric decoupling and thermodynamic neutrality; a processthat, once rescaled, may appear internally as an energetic beginning. Rather than a sequential rebirth of the cosmos, this framework proposes a distributed origin model, where new cosmogenesis events occur locally within a universe that continues to accelerate outward — from all reference points — beyond observational horizons. The model remains falsifiable through violations of its boundary assumptions, offering a redefinition of cosmogenesis grounded in known physics and conformal geometry.
