How particles can emerge in a relativistic version of Bohmian Quantum Field Theory

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates how bosonic particles can emerge as continuous fields within a covariant Bohmian quantum field theory framework, extending de Broglie-Bohm theory to relativistic contexts.

Contribution

It introduces a covariant formulation of Bohmian quantum field theory where particles emerge as eigenvalues of the field operator along Bohmian trajectories, based on Nikolic's work.

Findings

Bosonic particles can be represented as eigenvalues of the Schrödinger field operator.

The formulation is covariant and compatible with relativistic principles.

Particles are modeled as continuous fields evaluated along Bohmian trajectories.

Abstract

It is shown how bosonic material particles can emerge from a covariant formulation of de Broglie-Bohm theory. The formulation is based on the work of Nikolic. Material particles are continuous fields, formed as the eigenvalue of the Schrodinger field operator, evaluated along a Bohmian trajectory.
