Factorization of Number into Prime Numbers Viewed as Decay of Particle into Elementary Particles Conserving Energy

Number theory is considered, by proposing quantum mechanical models and stringlike models at zero and finite temperatures, where the factorization of number into prime numbers is viewed as the decay of particle into elementary particles conserving energy. In these models, energy of a particle labeled by an integer n is assumed or derived to being proportional to ln n. The one-loop vacuum amplitudes, the free energies and the partition functions at finite temperature of the string-like models are estimated and compared with the zeta functions. The SL(2, Z) modular symmetry, being manifest in the free energies is broken down to the additive symmetry of integers, Z(+), after interactions are turned on. In the dynamical model existing behind the zeta function, prepared are the fields labeled by prime numbers. On the other hand the fields in our models are labeled, not by prime numbers but by integers. Nevertheless, we can understand whether a number is prime or not prime by the decay rate, namely by the corresponding particle can decay or cannot decay through interactions conserving energy. Among the models proposed, the supersymmetric string-like model has the merit of that the zero point; energies are cancelled and the energy levels may be stable against radiative corrections.
