Inertia as the ``Threshold of Elasticity'' of Quantum States

TL;DR

This paper proposes a quantum mechanism for inertia generation, treating the threshold of parametric instability in Goldstone modes as a rest mass, offering a new perspective on inertia in quantum systems.

Contribution

It introduces a novel quantum framework linking inertia to the threshold of parametric instability in Goldstone modes, conceptualizing inertia as a form of quantum threshold.

Findings

Inertia can be modeled as a threshold of parametric instability.

Goldstone modes' instability threshold acts as a rest mass.

The proposed mechanism offers a new quantum perspective on inertia.

Abstract

A quantum mechanism of the inertia generation has been proposed. The threshold of the parametric instability of ``goemetric'' Goldstone modes is treated as a rest mass.
