Abstract

With appropriate modifications, the multi-spin Klein-Gordon (KG) equation of quantum field theory can be adapted to curved spacetime for spins 0,1,1/2. The associated particles in the microworld then move as a wave at all spacetime coordinates. From the existence in a Lorentzian spacetime of a line element field (Xβ,Xβ)(X^{\beta},-X^{\beta}) , the spin-1 KG equation μμXβ=k2Xβ\nabla_{\mu}\nabla^{\mu}X^{\beta}=k^{2}X^{\beta} is derived from an action functional involving XβX^{\beta} and its covariant derivative. The spin-0 KG equation and the KG equation of the outer product of a spin-1/2 Dirac spinor and its Hermitian conjugate are then constructed. Thus, Xβ X^{\beta} acts as a fundamental quantum vector field. The symmetric part of the spin-1 KG equation, Ψ~αβ \tilde{\varPsi}_{\alpha\beta}, is the Lie derivative of the metric. That links the multi-spin Klein-Gordon equation to Modified General Relativity (MGR) through its energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational field. From the invariance of the action functionals under the diffeomorphism group Diff(M), which is not restricted to the Lorentz group, Ψ~αβ \tilde{\varPsi}_{\alpha\beta} can instantaneously transmit information along Xβ X^{\beta} . That establishes the concept of entanglement within a Lorentzian formalism. The respective local/nonlocal characteristics of MGR and quantum theory no longer present an insurmountable problem to unify the theories.
