Abstract

A model universe is analyzed with NN protons and electrons where there are electromagnetic and spin interactions in the Hamiltonian is investigated in the context of quantum shape kinematics. We have found that quantum shape space exists for N4N\geq 4 particles and has 2N72N-7 functional degrees of freedom in the case of spin-1/2 particles. The emergence of space is associated with non-vanishing expectation value L2\langle L^2 \rangle. We have shown that for odd NN space always emerges, and for large even NN space almost always emerges because L20\langle L^2 \rangle \neq 0 for almost all states. In the limit NN\to\infty the density of states that yields L2=0\langle L^2 \rangle=0 vanishes. Therefore we conclude that the space is almost always emergent in quantum shape kinematics.
