Spin-Statistics connection and the gravity of the Universe: The Cosmic connection
C. S. Unnikrishnan (Tata Institute, Mumbai)

TL;DR
This paper proposes that the Spin-Statistics connection arises from gravitational phase shifts caused by the Universe's gravitomagnetic field, linking quantum mechanics with cosmological gravitational effects.
Contribution
It introduces a novel explanation for the Spin-Statistics connection based on cosmic gravitomagnetic effects within the framework of Cosmic Relativity.
Findings
Spin-Statistics connection explained by gravitational phase shifts
Universal gravitomagnetic field influences quantum scattering amplitudes
Supports Cosmic Relativity as a valid gravitational theory
Abstract
I suggest that the Spin-Statistics connection is a consequence of the phase shifts on quantum scattering amplitudes due to the induced gravitomagnetic field of the whole Universe at critical density. This connection was recently brought out in the context of a new theory of relativity in flat space with matter, called Cosmic Relativity (gr-qc/0406023). This prediction of the correct gravitational phases is a consequence of any relativistic gravitation theory in the presence of the massive Universe. This can also be interpreted as related to the Mach's principle applied to quantum phenomena. Perhaps this is the simplest valid proof of the Spin-Statistics Theorem, and it finally identifies the physical origin of the connection.
