Here, it is described how N -dimensional parameterized vector spaces, possessing an
adapted real metric with the addition of some supplementary axioms, permit the deduc-
tion of Heisenberg relations and Schr¨ odinger equation. This specific space structure,
proposed as a container of the description of quantum objects, suggests, in this way,
that both quantum mechanical cornerstones can be considered as trivial consequences
of such a special vector space choice.
KEY WORDS: Heisenberg relations, Schr ¨ odinger equation, parameterized vector
spaces, real valued metric, inward vector products
1. Introduction
Recent papers dealing with the role of Heisenberg relations [1] seems to
conclude that uncertainty relationships constitute somehow a quantum theo-
retical cornerstone as well as an essential previous step towards setting up
Schr ¨ odinger equation. Such an affirmation can be made in this way, as within
the most recent paper [2], not only it is clearly shown that Heisenberg relations
are deductible from classical considerations, under well defined statistical con-
ditions, but Schr¨ odinger equation can be derived from these relationships by
means of further elegant theoretical deductions.
This situation has inspired a previous study [2], where it was shown
Heisenberg relations could be also deduced by means of the definition of param-
eterized N -dimensional metric vector space structure. Such space structure, after
some straightforward working definitions and a sequence of few ancillary axi-
oms, presents the possibility of deducing the well-known uncertainty relationships,
through the usual metric related constructs linking two vectors, as Gram matrix,
