From tangles of strands to elementary particles, wave functions, gauge groups and the standard model, as well as to space, curvature and general relativity

Abstract

The slides present the only known mathematical explanation of the gauge groups that agrees with observations. The explanation also yields the only known model for emergent wave functions and the only known explanation of the elementary particle spectrum.

Several animations are included. Click and download the pdf to see them.

The slides are based on the publication https://www.researchgate.net/publication/374297019
and on the longer pedagogical preprint https://www.researchgate.net/publication/361866270
