I think that is probably not true and we know it is not true since I was able to get s_0 going from 0 to pi from the mapping formula. That is new! It is not necessarily the Hopf fibration but Niles Johnson's mapping formula that was constructed from quaternions.

Pick uniform random points on the plain vanilla 3-sphere. They *are* valid uniformly distributed parallelized 3-sphere points. How do you want to parametrize them? Is not good enough? Do you prefer spherical coordinates ?






The 3-sphere *is* the set of unit quaternions. The product of two unit quaternions is a unit quaternions. Hence the unit quaternions form a group acting by multiplication on the left, and also by multiplication on the right. We can define the uniform distribution as being the unique probability measure on S^3 which is invariant under these group actions.

You can look at S^3 from the point of view of the Hopf fibration but this does not lead to any new, different, notion of uniform distribution.

Got it! Finally! :D

Image

I finally realized that Niles Johnson's 3-sphere mapping formula had the x, y and z outputs times r to obtain the Hopf fiber links that you saw in previous postings. For the purpose of getting the half circle we just want the x, y and z outputs. Then I made a minor adjustment to theta subtracting 45 degrees. Then I converted x and z to polar coordinates to get theta for the complete states function's s0 and used it for the simulation producing,

Image

So this gives a somewhat better justification for s0 going from 0 to pi via Niles Johnson's 3-sphere mapping formula. The 3-sphere topology is definitely not trivial for the EPR-Bohm scenario. Here are PDF's of the Mathematica code for the half circle plot and for the simulation.

I finally almost obtained the half circle without normalizing the outputs from Niles Johnson's formula for the Hopf fibration.

Image

I say "almost" because it is not a true half circle as its height is very close to 1 but its width is about 0.57 so it is slightly oblong. But we are going from 0 to pi. Here is a PDF of the code with some annotations and the outputs.

EPRsims/nilesj7.pdf

You can see a funny thing happens to theta. It toggles randomly between -5pi/4 and -9pi/4. ??? Phi is set just below 2pi to keep y from going to zero.

It is OK to normalize the outputs since the inputs are not supposed to be random anyways. So we get our half circle we are looking for by setting phi to pi,

Image

And here is the other half when setting phi to 2pi.

Image

So I think we are good. 0 to pi comes out naturally in the 3-sphere formula.

Well, I have got part if it so the rest of it must be there somewhere. :roll:

:D

The a, b, c and phi inputs are not supposed to be random thus the "noise". But we can see when they are random, we get the Hopf bands with linked fibers from the basic fiber parameter formula.

So, I need to setup some animation controls in Mathematica to feed those 4 inputs in a controlled way. Ugh! :D

Thanks. I remember how I did it now. I set a, b and c all to the same random spherical point in Cartesian coordinates and out pops linked Hopf bands. If I go to spherical coordinates, I only get one Hopf band.

Image

Strange. Of course since alpha and beta are defined they way they are, c has to be the radius in spherical coordinates. Oh..., that is two linked Hopf fibers though. I'm slowly getting a handle on how this 3-sphere code works.

Code: Select all
trials = 10000;
n = ConstantArray[0, trials];
Do[basepoint = ToSphericalCoordinates[RandomPoint[Ball[]]];
 a = basepoint[[1]];
 b = basepoint[[1]];
 c = basepoint[[1]];
 al = Sqrt[0.5 (1 + c)];
 be = Sqrt[0.5 (1 - c)];
 ph = RandomReal[{0, 2 \[Pi]}];
 th = ArcTan[-a, b] - ph;

 x = -be*Cos[ph];
 y = -be*Sin[ph];

Normalizing the inputs for a, b and c didn't help but it did change the output a bit.

n = ConstantArray[0, trials];
Do[basepoint = RandomPoint[Sphere[]];
 a = basepoint[[1]];
 b = basepoint[[2]];

 th = ArcTan[a, b] - ph;
 w = al*Cos[th];

Bam!

I was looking for half a circle, 0 to pi, and there it is. I just had to normalize the output since the input is not normalized and should be. Fancy way to draw a half circle. :D But this certainly could be what I am looking for. It is in the 3-sphere topology.

You still haven't explained why you seem to think that a uniform random sample from the parallelized 3-sphere isn't anything different from a uniform random sample from the un-parallelized 3-sphere.

Of course, there are algorithms that exploit the possibility of parallelization. For instance, run a random walk which, at each step, chooses either to step from one fibre to another or to take a step along the fibre where it is right now. It is easy to come up with schemes such that the position of the random walker after n steps is rapid, as n increases, closer and closer to a uniform distribution. After all, we are talking about a compact manifold with a smooth compact group structure.

However, I doubt that this way could give us faster algorithms than those we already have, for the same accuracy.

Points on an R^4 3-sphere won't be the same as on a quaternionic parallelized 3-sphere. But that is not the primary issue. It is how spin behaves (the action) via a parallelized 3-sphere. There is an extra parameter that varies from 0 to pi that I am trying to see if I can find it.
.

Sorry Fred, uniform random points on an R^4 3-sphere are exactly the same as uniform random points on a quaternionic parallelized 3-sphere. So you can get one by making the other. But as you say, you are interested in the real and interesting issue that there are four parameters in the Hopf fibration. This is exactly the same issue that the overall phase of the wave function is superfluous.

Do you think that the fourth parameter does have physical meaning, after all? You are not the first. Today, this is what comes up top in a Google search on my computer:
https://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=64044
"Causality of Phase of Wave Function or Can Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Be Considered Complete?"
Georgiev Koprinkov, Department of Applied Physics, Technical University of Sofia, Sofia, Bulgaria.
Abstract: Theoretical and experimental evidences of a causal relation of the phase of the wave function and physical reality are presented. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which gives physical meaning to the amplitude of the wave function only, cannot be considered complete on that ground. A new dynamics-statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics is proposed.

Here https://arxiv.org/pdf/0802.0644.pdf is an example of the kind of random walks I have in mind:

Semi-classical analysis of a random walk on a manifold

We prove a sharp rate of convergence to stationarity for a natural random walk on a compact Riemannian manifold (M,g). The proof includes a detailed study of the spectral theory of the associated operator.
