N-theory: Do Quarks Have Memory?

Abstract

N-theory deals with the space-time nonlocality in nature which in time domain results in memory effect. Recent results show that memory can be considered as a fundamental characteristics of all fundamental interactions. In this short note we deal with the strong interaction and address this question that: do quarks as fundamental building blocks of our universe exhibit some kind of memory effects? We investigate this idea through the framework of fractional dynamics and also, we discus about a possible fractional quark theory. The idea is based on some behavior and characteristics of quarks and quark matter that naturally can be described using fractional operators which intrinsically incorporate memory kernels and nonlocality. Finally we examine the fractional quark theory’s application in the exotic baryon spectroscopy and its power to prediction of possible future LHC results. We show that this powerful framework can reproduce the experimental mass for the exotic baryons.
