Phase Geometry on Cn: Mixed Symmetries, Cyclic Algebras, and Physical Models
Abstract
In classical complex analysis, the geometry induced by the standard modulus defines an intrinsically isotropic structure with U(1) symmetry, where the unit norm corresponds to a perfect circle in the complex plane. While this framework is highly effective for describing continuous phase rotations, it inherently suppresses geometric features associated with corners, sectors, or directionally preferred phase components. As a result, polygonal symmetries—such as triangular or square geometries—cannot arise naturally from the same analytic norm or metric and instead appear only as external constructions, discretizations, or approximations imposed on an underlying circular geometry. This structural restriction may be characterized as a circle–polygon incompatibility, wherein circular and polygonal symmetries fail to emerge from a single analytic object within the classical complex plane.
