A gravitational theory of quantum mechanics [PDF]
An explanation for quantum mechanics is given in terms of a classical theory (general relativity) for the first time. Specifically, it is shown that certain structures in classical general relativity can give rise to the non-classical logic normally ...

braneworld cosmology and holography [PDF]
, 2002 This thesis is devoted to studying two important aspects of braneworld physics: their cosmology and their holography. We examine the Einstein equations induced on a general (n - 2)-brane of arbitrary tension, embedded in some n-dimensional bulk.

String Theory – Nomological Unification and the Epicycles of the Quantum Field Theory Paradigm [PDF]
, 2011 String Theory is the result of the conjunction of three conceptually independent elements: (i) the metaphysical idea of a nomological unity of the forces, (ii) the model-theoretical paradigm of Quantum Field Theory, and (iii) the conflict resulting from ...

Recent Conceptual Consequences of Loop Quantum Gravity. Part I: Foundational Aspects. [PDF]
, 2001 Conceptual consequences of recent results in loop quantum gravity are collected and discussed here in view of their implications for a modern philosophy of science which is mainly understood as one that totalizes scientific insight so as to eventually ...

Einstein, the reality of space, and the action-reaction principle [PDF]
, 2013 Einstein regarded as one of the triumphs of his 1915 theory of gravity - the general theory of relativity - that it vindicated the action-reaction principle, while Newtonian mechanics as well as his 1905 special theory of relativity supposedly violated ...

A First Class Constraint Generates Not a Gauge Transformation, But a Bad Physical Change: The Case of Electromagnetism [PDF]
, 2013 In Dirac-Bergmann constrained dynamics, a first-class constraint typically does not _alone_ generate a gauge transformation. By direct calculation it is found that each first-class constraint in Maxwell's theory generates a change in the electric field ...

EFT beyond the horizon:stochastic inflation and how primordial quantum fluctuations go classical [PDF]
, 2014 We identify the effective theory describing inflationary super-Hubble scales and show it to be a special case of effective field theories appropriate to open systems.
