Description

The metrical structure of the linear state space of a quantized nonlinear field cannot be given a priori. Rather it is determined by the dynamics of the field itself. For the evaluation of state norms and scalarproducts this metric must be known. In functional quantum theory the metrical structure is expressed by the metric tensor G(j) in functional space. Equivalent to the knowledge of G(j) is the knowledge of the set of dual state functionals ( vertical stroke S(j,a)>) together with the corresponding original state functionals ( vertical stroke F(j,a)>). In preceding papers attempts were made to calculate G(j). In this paper an approach is made to determine the dual state functionals directly. Equations are derived which have to be satisfied by the dual functionals. The method works in those state sectors which are characterized by real (monopole) particles or monopole ghosts, while it does not work for multipole ghost states. Norm calculations are performed for local monopole fermion states and local monopole boson states of the lepton- quark model derived in a preceding paper. (orig.)
