Abstract
In this paper, I propose a new model compatible with the internal symmetries of elementary particles to identify the invariant charges of standard model unitary symmetries by physical parameters in an extra spatial dimension. Applying the concepts of zero point energy and center of mass for elementary particles and introducing helixons as time-like geodesics in 4+1 dimensional toral manifold, we show that the free motion of particles center of mass on these helixons results in the emergence of gauge symmetries discovered in standard model and presents pure physical interpretations for particles’ invariants such as electric charge, isospin, hypercharge and coupling constants of electroweak and strong interactions. This allows to incorporate unitary symmetries without the assumption of internal spaces and several extra dimensions. Higgs vacuum expectation value, and effective radius of Higgs boson are among the prominent results of helixon theory. Moreover it predicts the small deviation from Larmor frequency in very weak field, proves the Montgomery conjecture and emergence of golden ratio in energy levels.

1. Introduction
The least action principle has been remaining as the fundamental basis in the construction of various basic classical mechanics equations such as Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formalism and thermodynamics [1, 2]. This method has also been applied in various modern physics theories from general relativity (Einstein-Hilbert action) to quantum field and elementary particle physics and quantum mechanics (as path integral) and string models via introducing a compatible Lagrangian (or Hamiltonian) of related system and derivations of equations of motions through the variational principle applied to actions [3, 4, 5]. On the other hand geodesic equations result in the same solutions to motion equations of related dynamical system and in principle is equivalent to the least action principle. However the strict concept of geodesics for internal symmetries of particles and subsequent gauge symmetries have not been defined yet because of the abstract notion of internal spaces that lacks any physical counterparts. As an example the Weinberg (mixing) angle has not been realized as a true space-time angle. The rotations and associated unitary symmetries in these spaces do not imply any physical concepts while the resultant invariants interpreted as elementary particles invariant charges. Contrast to least action method we introduce a new model in order to follow a reverse direction, i.e. considering default equations of motion by specifying the geodesic motion of C.O.M (center of mass) of a free particle on extended space-time manifolds with an extra spatial dimension to derive the governing internal symmetries and invariants of motion and advance toward the realization of abstract spaces parameters. The reason for choosing the C.O.M as a geometrical basis is its applicability to any extension of particles (wave function, fields etc.) moreover to construct a theory with geometrical basis in order to reconcile the realm of quantum and general relativity theories we need a common geometrical concept to entire physics like C.O.M. The close concepts of least action principle and geodesics equations allows us to define geodesic motion of C.O.M and deducing the related action and Hamiltonian. New proposed model (helixon theory) hypothesizes the free motion of free particles C.O.M on toral manifold geodesics (with an extra spatial dimension) while preserve the effective projected geodetical motion on Minkowskian 3+1 manifold, results in a set of degrees of freedom with certain dynamical invariants. Such a geodesics model, drives the theory to a geometrical interpretation of the related system in comparison with choosing a Lagrangian or Hamiltonian being compatible with the experimental outcomes of the related physical situation. However the geodesics approach may not be sufficient when the physical systems being totally described by field or wave-particles constituents instead of point particles. Perhaps the main reason is the lack of a reliable geometric concept in quantum mechanics and subsequent field theories. Actually the main reason for acceptable success of string theories may be indebted to the substitution of a hypothetical pure geometric structure i.e. one dimensional strings as ultimate structures of elementary particles. The priority of geometrical structure in physical models can also be understood by recalling the great success of general relativity and Kaluza-Klein inspired models where the notion of spatio-temporal dimensions of ambient space determines the gravity and electromagnetic forces. In these theories the geometrical structure of the model induces the metric tensors and associated geodesics equations to retrieve the motion or dynamic equations of related physical systems that replaces the least action principle method. The pure geometrical elements which consist of abstract points, lines etc. without any physical interpretation are not good candidates for presenting the physical issues. However the center of mass (C.O.M) as a common physics-geometric concept is valid for both realm of theories and consequently could be applied in a model to encompass both notions. At the level of elementary particles, geodesic motion could be defined as the motion of free particles’ C.O.M on geodesics curves on ambient space. Thus for any extension of particle or its spatial distributions in the sense of quantum mechanics either as a particle wave or fields in quantum field theory, it is possible to define the geodesic motion of the particle’s C.O.M along geodesics trajectories on the ambient space. In helixon theory the center of mass (C.O.M) in conjunction with geodesics has been included in the model as the main geometrical concepts. The significance of C.O.M and zero point energy reviewed through sections 2, 3. In subsequent sections it is proved that almost all particle parameters other than spin can be recovered by the formalism of C.O.M helical motion on the geodesics of toral manifolds in 4+1 spatio-temporal space where spatial dimensions include the 3 regular and 1 extremely small extra dimensions. Similar to string theories, we use a Euclidean metric signature for 4+1 space-time manifold. The helical motions (helixons) of C.O.M as n-toral geodesics result in a multidimensional harmonic oscillators with a number of degrees of freedom that may exceeds the number of ambient space-time manifold. The excess degrees of freedom allow space-time to adopt more independent parameters which are required for theories of elementary particles. These extra degrees of freedom induces a variety of symmetries that cover electromagnetic and standard model symmetries
and their possible particles multiplets. Consequently the internal symmetries and associated abstract spaces (e.g. isotope spin, hypercharge etc.) could be described and realized by these extra degrees of freedom. The Invariant charges of particles in helixon theory being represented as angular velocities of helixons which correspond to charges of Lie generators underlying these symmetry groups. In section 11.5, Higgs field potential in helixon model appears as bounding potential energy of helixons. In this sense helixons trace out the points of 4+1 manifold with minimum energy (potential well). On the other hand addition of the unique spatial extra dimension gives a pure complex structures to the extra momentums and the set of
independent helical motions in this small extra dimension could be identified as an abstract multidimensional complex manifold
. Inspiring the complex quaternion and octonion algebra we show that the maximum degrees of freedom bounded to 3 or 7 dimensions. The set of independent complex variables forms a Kahler complex manifold where the related closed geodesics are isometric with helixons and this property will help to prove Montgomery conjecture and golden ratio problem.
2. Center of Mass
Center of mass (C.O.M) is a common pure geometrical definition in both realms of classical and quantum mechanics. This geometrical point could be defined in quantum mechanics as well as classical mechanics, because it is practically applicable for any mass distribution or particle wave (extension) with a certain spatial distribution. By the assumption that mass distribution of a particle coincides its probability distribution, the center of mass (or briefly center) of the Schrodinger wave (packet) is defined as 
therefor center of mass (C.O.M) could be applied for particle wave in quantum realm. Evidently for systems containing single or multiple particles, the mechanical behavior of system in external fields can be calculated as if all mass distribution concentrated at C.O.M point. The hypothesis of point particles for elementary particles is the main assumption for scattering analysis in quantum field theories where aside from any extension (or field) of particles their scatterings of obey the Feynman diagrams illustrated by vertex (points) and propagators (lines). In these diagrams one may substitute the points by the C.O.M of scattered particles. Moreover center of mass reference frame is the standard frame of coordinates in particle scattering and cross section analysis because it is applicable even for massless particles as photons. We have exploited this significant concept in our model as a point passing through geodesics in ambient space. Naturally it could be defined as well for single particle or a collection of particles in a system like atoms or molecules.
3. Zero Point Energy
Starting hypotheses in our model has been based on the concept of zero point energy. In quantum sense, there is a perpetual vibration corresponding to the lowest energy level
of all particles, fields, atom and molecules, even at absolute zero temperature, well known as zero point energy (ZPE) [6, 7]. It is a natural consequence of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in quantum realm. ZPE concept is an essential fact to resolve some problems such as Casimir effect and Lamb shift and could be measured in atoms, molecules and elementary particles. Consequently the ZPE could be a starting point in configuring a universal theory compatible with quantum mechanics and experimental data. ZPE is the source of some conflicts in cosmology such as unresolved cosmological constant problem which states that the minute quantity of cosmological constant differs from the suggested value of zero point energy due to quantum field theory. Moreover there are two additional associated facts:• The standing wave of a particle at the zero thermal velocity is equivalent to zero point fluctuation or energy [8]. • ZPE is Lorentz invariant [9].
4. Kaluza Klein Theory
One of the most influential theories after general relativity and quantum mechanics which makes the substantial background for unifying theories such as string and superstring theories is Kaluza Klein theory. The original idea in this theory is assumption of a periodic small extra dimension. The addition of this extra degree of freedom brings about the unification of general relativity and electromagnetism. One of the main results of this model states that the charge to mass ratio could be interpreted as the proper time derivative of the fourth spatial dimension [10]. i.e. | (1) |
Where G denotes the Newton constant. Helixon model generalizes this notion to all known conserved charges of internal symmetries of elementary particles. These charges include weak and strong hypercharges, weak and strong isospin, Baryon number, etc. with exception of spin as will be discussed later. All conserved charges in the notion of helixon theory corresponds to a set of angular velocities
similar to the equation (1). Therefor for a particle with a set of charges (electric charge, hypercharge, isospin etc.) helixon composed of a combined helixes (fig 1) each corresponds to a unique invariant particle charges. Each angular frequency corresponds to an independent helix as well. For electromagnetic fields this angular velocity is proportional to electric charge to mass ratio i.e.
. For other charges it will be proportional to
where
stands for the coupling constant of the related interacting force and symmetry group. Thus we have the general form for helixes angular velocities:
is a constant.  | Figure 1. A combined helixon consists of 2 angular frequency depicted by red trajectory is a geodesic on combined torus (blue cylinder) and traces out the C.O.M path. The plane (green) stands for space time. The fourth spatial dimension regarded as perpendicular to this plane with extreme small range. So the scale of radius of these torus assumed at the range of 10-18 meter. The black curve shows the effective world line on The radius of gray cylinder denoted by and radius of blue cylinder by  |
5. Helixon Model Hypothesis
I propose a theory based on a hypothesis backed by ZPE concept and free motion of C.O.M on time like world-line being defined on an extended
manifold as follows:• A tiny extra spatial dimension with small range is the cornerstone of the theory. For each point of space-time manifold we assume a neighborhood of a small spatial radius extending through an extra dimension
in such a way that C.O.M of all elementary particles involved by a free motion on helical geodesics (i.e. helixons) on complex torus in this
space while its trajectory in
results from projection of these geodesics on
manifold fig (1).• Based on the ZPE concept, we assume that these displacements are inherent and perpetual oscillations of particle’s C.O.M in
as a result of its motion on geodesics of a combined torus (helixon) in
space-time with a small extra spatial dimension fig (1). The resultant projection of this geodetic motion on
interpreted as a harmonic oscillation. • All particles charges (quantum numbers) could be determined definitely by the winding frequencies
on these geodesics. These charges include all invariants such as electric charge, isospin, hypercharge, lepton and baryonic number etc. We will show the Lorentz invariant properties of associated charges of
• As we will show in next sections, Fermions in helixon theory comprise of a set of single helixons and Bosons be represented by those single helixons. Consequently each single helixon corresponds to a boson with associated charges and being represented by a complex variable while a fermion includes a set of complex numbers. We will show that the appropriate complex numbers compatible with fermion statistics are hypercomplex numbers defined in quaternion and octonion algebras. • In helixon theory, spin is an exception among particle’s parameters. The spin excluded from other invariants because it is being defined at the center of mass. Particles’ spin implies the inherent angular momentum respect to C.O.M of particles. Therefor it excludes from the other invariant charges hypothesized as the winding frequencies of helixons.
6. Helixons
6.1. Stationary Reference Frames
Considering a flat space-time manifold
with coordinates
and a small extra spatial dimension
along an axis perpendicular to
allows us to define world-lines as time-like geodesics on 2-dimensional torus manifolds. Let us imagine a time-like world-line in
then construct a 2-dimensional torus expanded with axis along time-like world-line that its circular cross section expanded on the plane
and radius
limited to the extra dimension range fig (1). The maximum range of extra dimension have to be limited to small value
then: | (2) |
Motion of a particle C.O.M on helical geodesics of this 2-dimensional torus while the axis coinciding the time axis
, leaves a helical trajectory (world-line)
embedded in
space. For an observer
with the reference frame co-moving with the center of that circle on time axis, the motion of C.O.M will be recorded as a circular motion with radius
and frequency
, perpendicular to
. This circular motion can be identified by a complex number
which is living in the plane
with
as an arbitrary spatial axis of
and
as the extra fourth spatial dimension regarded as imaginary axis. Let imaginary basis in this plane be denoted by i. We call this helical world line as Helixon. If we construct another tubular neighborhood of this trajectory with radius
and longitudinal axis coinciding the first world-line
and name it as torus
then another Helixon
could be made as geodesics on this new torus. If the C.O.M is moving on this new world line, the observer
detects a combined circular motions
and
with one center on time axis and the other on
However the observer
on the world-line attached to the center of second circle fig (1) records merely a circular motion with radius
and frequency
. Reference frame of Observer
is an inertial frame while following the helical world-line. Therefor the plane of circular motion in this reference frame will be
with
as another spatial axis and
as another imaginary basis j which is independent of the imaginary basis
on the plane
This circular motion can be identified by a complex number
which is living in the plane
Thus the resultant world-line
includes two distinct frequencies
and
and two independent radius
and
which have been defining on the torus
. The projection of Helixon
on
represents minimally a 1-dimensional harmonic oscillator. Subsequently the projection of the new Helixon
on
will read minimally as 2-dimensional harmonic oscillator with frequencies
and
. Although the Iteration of this procedure will give rise to a complex Helixon
with N independent frequencies and radiuses and a corresponding N- dimensional harmonic oscillator in
however in next section we show that the allowed dimension restricted to the 3 and 7 that is the number of independent imaginary basis of Quaternion and Octonion. These division algebras represent the definition of cross product and are isomorphic to Lie algebras
and
The latter algebras form the governing symmetries of 2 and 3 dimensional homogenous harmonic oscillators [11]. The dimension of oscillator may exceed the number of ambient space because there is not any limit on the degree of freedoms of these oscillator with N independent
and
Moreover these oscillations while be projected onto
interpreted as ZPE OR Zitterbewegung. This is in parallel with Lorentz invariance of ZPE as mentioned in sec (3), and supports the notion of ZPE origin for this helixon hypothesis.
6.2. Complex Planes and Hypercomplex Numbers
The planes
and
carrying circular motions which result in
and contain independent complex structures
and
each is living in independent 1-dimensional complex plane
Consequently the set of helixons and the position of C.O.M could be determined by these set of different complex number basis. For an observer located on center of first helixon
C.O.M could be represented by a complex number
If this observer dislocated to the center of second helixon the location of C.O.M will be determined by another complex number
Generally the planes of helixons
are not parallel then their complex number should contain the different hypercomplex (imaginary) basis as has been described in the context of quaternion algebra. Transition from usual complex number to quaternions
could be achieved by introducing another independent complex basis
in the form
Consequently there exist three independent imaginary basis denotes by
i.e. Quaternionic basis. Accordingly transition from quaternion algebra to the next algebra can be achieved by
to form another divisible algebra known as Octonions i.e.
. Subsequently in order to distinguish the imaginary elements of different complex planes of helixons
we need a notion of hypercomplex numbers. We know the possible hypercomplex number that merely represents a vector space with definition of cross product include Quaternions and Octonions. The ordinary complex numbers and Quaternions defined as: | (3) |
For single helixon
the appropriate representation admits
while for the triple helixon
we need extra imaginary basis which are realized as quaternions Q with independent imaginary bases
Now we claim a simple proposition: Any closed curve in a plane (2-dimensional flat manifold) could be traced out by a complex series as [12]: | (4) |
Where
stands for time parameter. Then for closed curves in 3 and 4 dimensional space we need additional complex series with another independent imaginary basis j and
respectively:  | (5) |
Therefor closed curves in 4-dimensional space will be determined by the triplet of complex numbers:
We may replace the parametric function characterizing the position of C.O.M on closed curve by quaternion 
 | (6) |
Apparently the single helixon comprises of an ordinary complex number
while the triple helixon being determined by a quaternion. We will show in the next section that imaginary parts of
are interpreted as extra momentums of C.O.M on helixons.
7. Properties of Helixon Momentum
7.1. Ground State
Let a particle in a reference frame
be in stationary state and thus the particle is tracing out along time axis. Now let C.O.M of the particle in a co-moving frame is orbiting with a constant angular velocity
(clockwise) on a circle in the plane
(for fixed j) which is perpendicular to the
and moving along the time axis tracking a spiral geodesic on a
(2-torus) while the torus axis coincides the time axis
If the momentum on circular motion denoted by
and its projection on
in
by
, for an observer in
(regular space-time) the measured linear momentum will be the projection of
on corresponding spatial axis
in
For linear momentum
on circular motion and its projection
we have:  | (7) |
We define a complex value in plane
of circle with imaginary axis along
and real axis along
 | (8) |
By the identity
and equation (8) we get: | (9) |
This proves the equality of:  | (10) |
If we replace
and
with corresponding operators
and
equation (9) transforms to an annihilation operator:  | (11) |
Up to an appropriate coefficient for dimensional adjustment, the equality will be valid. Hence the complex variable
which defined in
plane, could be understood as an operator
equivalent to annihilation operator in a quantum harmonic oscillator, and its conjugate
as creation operator as well. Moreover energy eigenvalues of this n-dimensional harmonic oscillator, normally can be determined by
(number operator) eigenvalues i.e. integer
numbers:  | (12) |
The lowest level for each Helixon corresponds to the
and consequently for total ground level energy (ZPE) of a particle with these Helixons we obtain:  | (13) |
In contrast to the usual definition of ZPE, the summation is carried out on finite numbers of modes which is determined by the total modes of particle helixons.
should contribute to the total mass of a particle. Hence for particles in a multiplet (as hadron octet or decuplet etc.) with approximately the same mass,
should be considered as a common constant. Therefore the equation (13) indicates the equation of a plane (simplex) in an abstract N-dimensional space spanned by orthogonal coordinates
where all particles belonging to this multiplet should be presented by some points on this simplex (hyperplane) in a flat space spanned by
coordinates. This resembles the
representation multiplets in the Gell-Mann Nishijima model for hadron multiplet symmetries.
in our model corresponds to invariant charges such as Isospin, and Hypercharge in Gell-Mann Nishijima model. The underlying reason for this consistency originated from the
symmetries of N-dimensional harmonic oscillators embedded in helixons of a particle. This reveals a connection between the frequencies
and the weights of adjoint representation of
which reduces to Gell-Mann Nishijima model for
All particle’s invariant charges should be represented by
Electrical charge, Baryonic and Leptonic numbers, Hypercharge of hadrons, weak hyper charge and Isospin all included in this hypothesis. Helixons with
as frequency and
as the state of the charge carrying particle represents an orbital angular momentum while the spin of particle is an exception among these quantum numbers because it represents an intrinsic angular momentum that is the angular momentum respect to the C.O.M of the particle. Therefor the spin is not included in the set of helixons and should be considered as a vector with parallel transport along the geodesics determined by helixons fig (2). This hypothesis unifies the origin of all these invariant charges in a set of various helixon and their modes. In other words all invariant charges originate from a helical motion on helixon geodesics extended through a unique extra spatial dimension. Equation (13) implies a linear relation among invariant charges of a multiplet (i.e. with the same
). A well known example is the relation of electrical charge Q, baryonic number B, strangeness S, in Gell-Mann–Nishijima equation:  | (14) |
 | Figure 2. In the absence of magnetic field, C.O.M of a charged particle (red bullet) traces out the helixon (left side) with a spin S along time axis (or world-line) while parallel displacement along geodesic with constant angle without any precession. After imposing a magnetic field, and increasing the angular velocity, the geodesic transforms to helixon as spin continuing the parallel displacement on (right side) preserving the same angle and a precession equal to the angular velocity of helixon Emergence of precession is due to the deviation of spin from time axis (or world-line) |
7.2. Excited States (non-commensurate frequency)
For next energy levels (i.e.
and non-commensurate frequency) the total energy reads as:  | (15) |
For eigenvalues of
equation (11) gives: | (16) |
Substitution of
from (16) into equation (15) converts it to: | (17) |
The charges
of slightly excited particles in a multiplet should satisfy equation (17) as well. Hence the locations of particles on simplex hyper-plane which defined by equation (13) are the intersection of this simplex with surface defined by (17). This property explains the topology of points on simplex characterizing the particles in a multiplet.
8. Corresponding Complex Space
Respect to definition of
and
, canonical coordinates of Hamiltonian formalism can be obtained by the variables:  | (18) |
These variables constitute the canonical coordinates of real space
with the phase space properties. As we have shown before all conjugate pairs
and
are independent coordinates in

respectively.
endowed with a Euclidean metric which induces a Kahler metric on
with the fundamental Kahler form: | (19) |
With this setting we obtain
and
operators as creation an annihilation operators for bosons with frequencies
where index j running from one to the number of Helixons on the world-line of a particle. On the other hand
and
denote complex numbers configuring the position of C.O.M of particle on corresponding Helixon structures on
These complex values are time dependent while their modules considered to be constants. Thus each Helixon contain a finite set of
and corresponding operators
Consequently each particle specifies a unique Helixon with its associated operators
as creation (or annihilation) bosonic operators which restricts the interaction of this particle with certain type of bosons with creation (or annihilation) operators
Let label this set of bosons by
Particles defined by Helixon
possess the set of charges
each corresponding to boson
. As an example, the electric charge
corresponds to the photon.
9. Torus Action and Moment Map
By definition a 2-Torus: 
or in a simplified form
acting on a
manifold
by: | (20) |
Where
(actually here
can be considered as fixed integers) and 
Naturally this action is a Hamiltonian with moment map: | (21) |
The moment map
due to its definition maps a point from
In generalized form with: 
If we set all
the action of n-torus on
reads as:  | (22) |
And related moment map reads as [14]: | (23) |
Thus moment map
identifies as “angular momentum” when
realized as squared radius of n-th branch of combined torus. The set of points in equation (23) refers to the weighted (twisted) projective space [13, 14].
10. Hamiltonian and Action
Hamiltonian for n-dimensional Harmonic oscillator is given by [15]:
and
denote the momentum and position of oscillation with frequency
along dimension ‘j’. Respect to equation (11) and definition of creation an annihilator operators
we obtain: | (24) |
 | (25) |
Let the motion of C.O.M on Helixon geodesics 
being mapped to a trajectory
on n-tori
as follows: | (26) |
maps any point

Because

Taking into consideration

for world-line element we obtain: | (27) |
Therefore the spatial elements

Because:  | (28) |
This means that

. Hence the action (Energy functional) could be defined (mass assumed to be constant) as:  | (30) |
The extremum path for this integral is the same as for equation (29). In other words the geodesics for both length L and action S are the same. Respect to Cauchy-Schwarz theorem an inequality relation holds in this case: | (31) |
Since the velocity of C.O.M on
is constant, then
and one concludes: | (32) |
With
as a constant coefficient. This result proves the Montgomery conjecture in section 12. On
with a set of metrics (including flat metrics), there exists closed geodesics of the types of elliptic or parabolic, i.e. stable closed geodesics (orbits) [16]. This is a corollary by Ballmann et.al which proves the existence of stable closed geodesics. These closed orbits on
correspond to periodic geodesics on 
11. Consequences of Helixon Model
Let geodesic motion of a particle be restricted to
as is defined in section (5). In Helixon theory this helical motion around the world-line axis represents the particle charge. This assumption suggests a dynamical meaning for electric charge of elementary particles. In this section we bring some of fundamental outcomes of this theory.
11.1. Vector Potential
C.O.M of a free charged particle (e.g. electron) is passing on the charge Helixon
The total momentum of such particle is the sum of linear momentum and oscillatory momentum as a result of harmonic oscillation on
with frequency
. The oscillatory component of total momentum is perpendicular to linear momentum and its frequency
is proportional to charge to mass ratio
Obviously the oscillatory component is small relative to linear component. Let consider this charged particle in an electromagnetic field with local four vector potential
This implies an interaction between the particle and photons of related fields. Without loss of generality the final effect of this interaction will be shifting the frequency
of Helixon
to a new frequency mode
This interaction results in a change in total momentum to a generalized momentum:  | (33) |
The second term on R.H.S of (25) denotes the oscillatory part of free charged particle momentum in
and
denotes the total momentum while
stands for non-oscillatory part of particle in
denotes the position vector in
plane with

as the extra dimension. If
stands for the total momentum in the absence of field
then (33) could be read as: | (34) |
Where

can be described in terms of
and

(from section 4), or
we have: | (35) |
Using the familiar definition of
we reach the total momentum in the sense of quantum mechanics (or classic): | (36) |
Where
in (35) included in the term
This result reveals the compatibility of basic assumptions in Helixon theory.
11.2. Helixon of Electrical Charge
It is also noteworthy to see that the steep of geodesic
on 2-torus (specified by particle electric charge) embedded in whole spatial space (3 regular and 1 extra) is a constant. In present model this steep
regarded as a constant for fermions with usual
in the absence of electromagnetic field (or other fields). Consequently for an arbitrary charge
we have a corresponding mode
for geodesic
as the particle’s Helixon. In other words motion of C.O.M of particle on geodesic
with frequency
is equivalent or the origin of charge
i.e. | (37) |
m in this equation denotes the total mass of particle. Hence the relativistic correction naturally imposes on
as any other internal frequencies in especial relativity. Hence
charges are Lorentz invariant while the frequencies
are not.
11.3. Larmor Precession
Respect to the notion of general relativity it is well known that displacement of a spin (gyroscope) while moving along geodesics in space time, generally preserves its magnitude and direction i.e. parallel transporting along geodesics [17]. Thus the angle between spin and tangent vector (speed vector) on geodesics remains constant. By imposing a vector field
on Helixon
and changing the frequency mode to
,
deforms to a new geodesics say
As explained in section 10.b respect to parallel transport of spin along the
spin direction remains unchanged and will be parallel to world-line of C.O.M. After imposing of field
(i.e. absorption of photons) C.O.M shifts to another geodesics
Because of parallel transport, the spin vector preserves its direction and magnitude and angle with tangent vector on new geodesics
and consequently deviates from world-line alignment in
fig (2). This bring about the precession of spin vector with
frequency.Taking into account the relative smallness of
which stands for one of zero point energy modes, we conclude that except for extremely weak field
we have: | (38) |
This means that after imposing the electromagnetic field
the frequency of helixon shifts from
to
but respect to (38)
the precession frequency takes the value
. The effective frequency and related extra momentum in
should be the second term of equation (33). The corresponding vector potential in a homogenous magnetic field could be obtained by:  | (39) |
The extra momentum appearing after imposing the magnetic field
could be compared with the extra momentum of particle relative to a rotating coordinate system, i.e.
thus the second term in equation (33) could be read as: | (40) |
This immediately results in the Larmor precession frequency: | (41) |
However in the case of very weak magnetic field when
(are at the same scale) we expect some deviation from equation (40) for Larmor frequency. At this scale Larmor precession will be modified in the form: | (42) |
This can be figured out in recent experiment results [18] where the Berlin group found some small deviation of longitudinal relaxation rate at lower Larmor precession
which suggests an as-yet-unknown mechanism in very weak fields. This results emerges because of the equation (42) for very weak fields where the Larmor frequency is not in strict proportion with
This prediction of helixon theory will be discussed in detail in another paper.
11.4. Vector Bosons and Electroweak Force
Unlike the photons, massive vector bosons
and
as the mediators of electroweak force, require an extra degree of freedom namely longitudinal polarization. This additional degree of freedom endows mass to these vector bosons. Actually the main difference between massless bosons (photons, gluons) and massive bosons
is merely this longitudinal polarization. In helixon theory these extra degree of freedom achieves through the geodesic motion of C.O.M along additional helixons. For a photon field there are two transverse polarization vectors as described in equation (35). The plane containing these polarization vectors is
perpendicular to the time axis in rest frame. The motion of C.O.M on the related helixon in a rest frame leaves a circular path that coincides plane
without any oscillation along the time axis. Both polarization vectors bounded to this plane. Additional helixons which get constructed on the world line of C.O.M, result in other circular path that are no longer perpendicular to time axis. This inclination brings about an extra oscillation with a new degree of freedom. In helixon theory this extra oscillation is equivalent to degrees of freedom contained in Higgs field of standard model. Consequently the mass of vector bosons in helixon model comes from this longitudinal polarization. The origin of fermion masses in helixon theory is not included in this mechanism. Similarly it is not clear that the all fermion masses in standard model originated from Higgs like mechanisms.In helixon theory fermions helixons have been formed by bosons helixons. The C.O.M of fermions passes through helixon geodesics which comprise of all boson helixons allowed to participate with this fermion.

is a constant defined by the equation:  | (44) |
As we have shown in section (11.1) vector potential components are the components of the tangent vector on helixon
Since the plane of

is parallel to
Therefor the components of
may be derived by scaler product: | (45) |
Equation (45) implies the compatibility of helixon model with Kaluza-Klein result (43).

and we have
while the radius is the Higgs helixon radius
Therefor we have the relation
. Moreover calculating K in MKS system respect to appendix, gives the value 
The effective radius for Higgs boson
estimated by Lehnert, Bo et al about
[20]. Comparing this value with K shows the compatibility of the helixon model results with experiments. Similar results will be mentioned in section 11.6.3.
11.6. Standard Model
11.6.1. Linear Momentum of Helixons and Gauge Covariant Derivatives
In this section we prove the equivalence of total momentum of helixons in
and gauge covariant derivative of standard model. Let a set of helixons
associated to a particle (fermion) with
instantaneous vectors and angular velocities
. Let work it out for
with
of helixon
associated with the charged particles and photons involved in an electromagnetic interaction and 
of helixon
associated with
as state vectors and related new bosons. The frequencies of the latter helixons assumed to be the same to impose degeneracy for harmonic oscillators associated with
with resulting total displacement vector of C.O.M that can be obtained by: | (46) |
Helixons
induces a 2-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator on
associated with
symmetry and its
algebra with generators
(Pauli matrices). The amplitudes of this isotropic harmonic oscillator are independent and could be denoted by
The velocity vector
(for an observer on center of helixon) results in tangent vectors
orthogonal to the instantaneous rotation axis
with a common angular frequency
in
(because of isotropic property). Then to obtain
in terms of generator elements recall the relation for linear velocity
vector and angular velocity vector: | (47) |
Let restrict the rotation of
to one axis (Z-axis) for the first helixon with angular velocity
It has been proved that
is equivalent to
, the
-component of angular momentum vector. Then the cross product (47) could be replaced by: | (48) |
in the operator sense is equivalent to the operator
and this operator is also equivalent to a tangent vector to the circle of helixon for the observer on the center of helixon. Given component of this tangential vector by
, it is easy to prove that
with
as a metric tensor element defined by
Hence (48) will be replaced by: | (49) |
This yields the cross product in 3 or 7 dimensional Euclidean space with its definition: | (50) |
Respect to the identity
we get: | (51) |
Without loss of generality vector
could be replaced by
as a complex variable and
by 
 | (52) |
Iterating this process for other helixons
we get: | (53) |
By (30) and (31) and replacing
with Pauli matrices
assuming definition
and
the equation (46) in a compact notation will be read as: | (54) |
This is rapidity. In helixon model because the three terms in (54) are at the same footing, it is assumed that the modulus and the initial phases of
are the same (
are equal). Therefor equation (32) will be simplified as: | (55) |
Where
. Consequently
can be interpreted as Higgs field and
as the effective radius of Higgs boson
. The equivalent operator for total displacement of particle should incorporate the space-time displacement operator
and rapidity
of equation (54) and electric charge helixon
(corresponding to vector potential
i.e.: | (56) |
We have shown that for each helixon, angular velocity is proportional to charge to mass ratio (i.e. coupling constant to mass ratio): | (57) |
Equation (55) reads as:  | (58) |
And:  | (59) |
The equation (59) indicates an extra-momentum operator i.e.
. This extra momentum term corresponds to either new interactions induced by
or second term
in gauge covariant derivative of standard model for electroweak interaction: | (60) |
The term associated with the first helixon
defined for charged particle and interaction with photons and the other term is a consequence of adding helixons
. Practically these helixon set is the main structure of leptons
. The first helixon
characterizes the electric charge and would couple with photons. The helixons
carry the invariant charges of
symmetry (such as weak hypercharge
and isospin
This is an example of consistency of helixon theory and gauge field theories. The counterpart terms of extra terms in covariant derivatives of gauge theories in helixon model are extra momentums resulted from additional helixons. Therefor for each boson involving in a gauge model there corresponds a helixon with
as boson field and momentum as corresponding term in gauge covariant derivative. We will examine these properties of helixons in section.11 for electromagnetic field. In equation (59)
stands for a specific boson field that is common between all singular helixons we show that this field is compatible with Higgs boson.
11.6.2. Quaternions and Octonions
We show the strict relation between Helixons and hyper-complex numbers i.e. Quaternions and Octonions. As described in last section, first helixon identified as a circular motion of a complex number
defined by (8). Here the complex factor
specifies the
coordinate of first helixon
To construct the second helixon
on the world-line which traced out by
we need the other plane
perpendicular to the world-line with a circle on this plane. The new local extra spatial coordinate
could be specified by the new imaginary factor
For an observer on the center of circle generating
the complex number for
represented by new imaginary factor
and new extra momentum proportional to
. Iterating the process for third helixon
gives 
. Adding up these three hyper-complex numbers results in a Quaternion number in the general form: | (61) |
With
as Quaternionic basis and 
. One of its isomorphic algebra is
and its generators Pauli matrices [19]: | (62) |
The commutation and anti-commutation relations of Pauli matrices coincides the Quaternion basis relations. Moreover any induced 3-dimensional rotation of vectors by
algebra could be derived by similar transformations of Quaternions. Any member of
algebra that spanned by Pauli matrices corresponds to a rotation in 3-dimensional space and a Quaternion number. So any Quaternion corresponds to a 3-dimensional rotation. This implies that the triple helixon
corresponds to a 3-dimensional rotation of C.O.M and corresponding Quaternion Q. We will show in next sections that these complex helixons identify the fermions and each single helixon corresponds to a boson. This could be understood through the commutation and anti-commutation relations governing the pure imaginary quaternions Q (as creation-annihilation operators of fermions) and
operators (as creation-annihilation of bosons).
11.6.3. Fermion and Bosons
As mentioned in previous sections we achieved definitions for fermions and bosons in the sense of helixon model.
operators would be considered as annihilation and creation operators of related boson. Respect to equations in section (7.1) the commutation relation of these operators is in the form of bosons:  | (63) |
The corresponding structures for leptons
are complex helixons
these are the Quaternions defined in previous section.It is known that for pure quaternions 
with a convenient choice for adjoint conjugate i.e.
We obtain:  | (64) |
If the real coefficients take the value
. Pure quaternions are equivalent algebra for
and regular complex basis i denoted as the generator of
. This implies that
as the governing symmetry of leptons in the context of helixon model, could be represented by a tensor product
where
stands for complex number and
denotes the pure quaternion numbers. Now we can represent the annihilation and creation operators via a diagonal matrix with elements of
and 
The anti-commutation relation
of these operators leads to:
This results in an estimate for
about
which is compatible with effective radius of Higgs bosons [20]:
Equations (63) and (64) indicate the bosonic and fermionic properties of
and
respectively.
11.6.4. Higgs Field as the Potential Well of Helixons
One of the main cornerstones of the helixon theory is the potential well whereby the C.O.M is restricted to trace out the helixon geodesics. Minimum of this potential well traces out the circular trajectory on single helixon where the radius determines the vacuum expectation value (vev). For massless bosons the related helixons are perpendicular to time axis. However for massive bosons there is some inclination that results in a longitudinal polarization which be presented as an oscillation along the time axis and assumed to be the origin of mass for massive bosons. So the Higgs field in helixon theory is the amplitude of this precession.
11.6.5. The
Symmetry
It is well known that
algebras are the generators of symmetry groups of the degenerate states of N-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillators [2]. Thus symmetry groups
leaves the related Hamiltonian invariant. Helixon model incorporates these group symmetries by combining the different frequency modes in a single geodesic motion of C.O.M as described in previous sections. This geodesic motion identifies a N-dimensional harmonic oscillator. Let C.O.M passes the geodesics on 3-torus in
with 3 frequencies denoted by
As we showed through previous sections
and
represents electroweak interactions. Adding an extra helixon
with
associated with 3-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator, results in a larger symmetry
with algebra
with new sets of particle multiplets and associated invariant charges. Taking into account the
as an invariant (constant), respect to constraints (13) and (17), we conclude that the acceptable charges
of a multiplet of particles should be located on the simplex determined by equation (13). These simplexes for dimensions 2 and 3 represented by a line element and triangle respectively. We show that the hadronic isospin multiplet representation coincides the discrete points on these simplexes corresponding to the states (particles) with approximately the same mass (energy) when the charges
(or a linear combination of charges) plotted as the coordinates. This conclusion predicts a linear relations of charges
for particles included in a multiplet with approximately the same mass which may be replaced by
(invariant charges) as an example this results in formulas such as the Gell-Mann–Nishijima formula: | (65) |
Where hypercharge denoted by
equals the sum of
(baryonic number) and S (strangeness number). Therefor for
symmetry we have three independent charges i.e.
which correspond to three helixon with independent frequencies
. For more charges and helixon numbers extra charges should be added to satisfy the higher order symmetries
and so on. This reveals a connection between the frequencies
and the weights of adjoint representation Lie algebras of related group symmetries that generally are considered as unitary symmetries 
11.6.6. Mass Formula for Particles
Equation (60) reveals that
and
correspond to
and
proportional to
and 
 | (66) |
For a helixon with radius
and angular velocity
, the linear velocity of C.O.M on geodesic should be invariant under small fluctuation of
(i.e. small deviation of geodesic) as the result of conservation of velocity magnitude of C.O.M along the motion on geodesic. Then we get: | (67) |
Let
denotes the vacuum expectation value of Higgs field. Thus
corresponds to
and we could obtain:  | (68) |
As an example, for W bosons
stands for the mass of related gauge boson i.e.
and
is weak coupling constant
. These results of the model are compatible with the outcomes of Higgs mechanism where the mass of gauge bosons after symmetry breaking is proportional to coupling constant and vacuum expectation value of Higgs bosons. The Z boson mass will be calculated after introduction of Weinberg angle concept in helixon theory.
11.6.7. Weinberg Angle
The consistency of helixon and standard model can be verified by the interpretation of mixing (Weinberg) angle in helixon theory. The exact relation of
and Weinberg angle will be the aim of next articles.
12. Other Results
12.1. Montgomery Conjecture
Helixon model proves the relation of heavy nucleus energy level distribution and distribution of non-trivial zeros of Riemann zeta as conjectured by Montgomery. As we have shown,
is a compact Kahler manifold and hence one can calculate the number of closed geodesics with a length less than L lying on this manifold. It is noteworthy to mention that this enumeration has been fulfilled via the formula: | (69) |
By definition, small perturbations around stable geodesics, returns to geodesics very close to the original geodesics. Hence it will be rational to choose normally the stable geodesics as permitted orbits (geodesics) for particles and conclude that the possible energy levels restricted to these orbits and their energy levels. The inequality (31) shows that the maximum length of
for a certain
is proportional to this action. This means that there is a one to one correspondence between possible energy levels and closed geodesics.Recall that for a combination of normal modes of vibrations in a system containing the vibrating particles with fixed frequencies (e.g. molecules), superposition of these modes result in a periodic overall motion of system with a time period much larger than the time periods of individual modes [6]. Hence for complex systems of particles whose time periods is a long period in scale of Planck time), energy levels could be approximated by length and number of closed geodesics on
and number and spacing of energy levels converges to distribution of these closed geodesics and consequently prime number distribution. This proves the Montgomery conjecture about heavy nucleus energy levels and its relation to non-trivial Riemann zeta zeros.
12.2. Geodesic Deviation and Golden Ratio
As mentioned before, C.O.M traces out helixons as geodesics on 2-dimensional torus in 4+1 space-time. For stability of these trajectories, the helixons should be closed geodesics for observers co-moving with center of helixon. This requires the rational value for angular velocities ratio
and related energies. Rational number distribution investigated by several authors. The well-known distribution is based on Minkowski’s number lattice [21]. Due to this analysis the rational number “density” approaches minima at the points determined by the roots of
For
the roots will be read as “golden ratio”: | (70) |
The density of geodesics fan with rational ratio
should be minimized at golden ratio and therefor the geodesics deviation
should be maximized i.e.
. Considering Fermi coordinate while first axis coordinate coincides the geodesic and the other coordinate as
the Geodesic deviation equations on a Riemannian manifold could be written in regular local coordinate as [23]: | (71) |
By supposing small negative constant value for Ricci-Riemann curvature
the general solution reduces to: | (72) |
Where
. The exponentials
can be considered as exponential maps. For small
with
we choose
as specific solution to (71), and thus for complete solution we have: | (73) |
Then for derivative respect to r we obtain: | (74) |
By replacing
the roots for the solutions of
will read as:
It turns out that the accepted root is golden ratio;
and implies that the relative probability (intensity) of two modes is golden mean. This result is compatible with experiments [24].
13. Conclusions
Introducing a new model (Helixon Theory) based on the geodetical motion of particles C.O.M on toral manifold embedded in 4+1 Euclidean space results in a set of degree of freedoms of a multidimensional harmonic oscillator which interpreted as the invariant charges of internal symmetries of hadrons and leptons and realizes the
and
symmetries as the symmetries of helixon multidimensional harmonic oscillator and boson and fermions as single and compound helixons. Helixon theory describes the vector potential, Larmor frequency and Higgs vacuum expectation value in a new way and introduces the Quaternion and Octonions as the basic mathematical structures for helixons. This article provides a logical background for Montgomery conjecture in the subject of heavy nucleus energy levels and golden ratio in the context of quantum mechanics. Small deviation of longitudinal relaxation rate at lower Larmor precession is another prediction of helixon theory which is compatible with experiment and conveys a promising prospect for further development and applicability of the model.
Appendix
The units adopted in helixon theory is a geometrical unit system. We use the convention applied in the recently work of Kim.et.al [22]: | (75) |
Hence the numerical values of the terms containing these constants in term of MKS system will be represented in length unit (i.e. meter). For example in the relation of contravariant vector potential and metric tensor of Kaluza-Klein theory: | (76) |
