Abstract

In order to extend our approach based on SU$*$(4), we were led to (real) projective and (line) Complex geometry. So here we start from quadratic Complexe which yield naturally the 'light cone' $x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}-x_{0}^{2}=0$ when being related to (homogeneous) point coordinates $x_{\alpha}^{2}$ and infinitesimal dynamics by tetrahedral Complexe (or line elements). This introduces naturally projective transformations by preserving anharmonic ratios. Referring to old work of Pl{\"u}cker relating quadratic Complexe to optics, we discuss (linear) symplectic symmetry and line coordinates, the main purpose and thread within this paper, however, is the identification and discussion of special relativity as direct invariance properties of line/Complex coordinates as well as their relation to 'quantum field theory' by complexification of point coordinates or Complexe. This can be established by the Lie mapping which relates lines/Complexe to sphere geometry so that SU(2), SU(2)$\times$U(1), SU(2)$\times$SU(2) and the Dirac spinor description emerge without additional assumptions. We give a short outlook in that quadratic Complexe are related to dynamics e.g.~power expressions in terms of six-vector products of Complexe, and action principles may be applied. (Quadratic) products like $F^{\mu\nu}F_{\mu\nu}$ or $F^{a\,\mu\nu}F^{a}_{\mu\nu}$, $1\leq a\leq 3$ are natural quadratic Complex expressions ('invariants') which may be extended by line constraints $\lambda k\cdot\epsilon=0$ with respect to an 'action principle' so that we identify 'quantum field theory' with projective or line/Complex geometry having applied the Lie mapping.
