Hints of a New Relativity Principle from $p$-brane Quantum Mechanics

Abstract

This report is an extension of previous one hep-th/9812189. Several quantum mechanical wave equations for $p$-branes are proposed. The most relevant $p$-brane quantum mechanical wave equations determine the quantum dynamics involving the creation/destruction of $p$-dimensional loops of topology $S^p$, moving in a $D$ dimensional spacetime background, in the quantum state $\Phi$. To implement full covariance we are forced to enlarge the ordinary Relativity principle to a $new$ Relativity principle, suggested earlier by the author based on the construction of {\bf C}-space, and also by Pezzaglia's Polydimensional Relativity, where all dimensions and signatures of spacetime should be included on the same footing.
