Self-Induced Selection: A New Approach to Quantum Decoherence [PDF]

, 2002
According to Zurek, decoherence is a process resulting from the interaction between a quantum system and its environment; this process singles out a preferred set of states, usually called pointer basis, that determines which observables will receive ...

A Consistent Quantum Ontology [PDF]

, 2011
The (consistent or decoherent) histories interpretation provides a consistent realistic ontology for quantum mechanics, based on two main ideas.

On the physical basis of cosmic time [PDF]

, 2008
In this manuscript we initiate a systematic examination of the physical basis for the time concept in cosmology. We discuss and defend the idea that the physical basis of the time concept is necessarily related to physical processes which could ...

Quantum Einsteinian cubic cosmology

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
We study Cosmological Einsteinian Cubic Gravity (CECG) in the context of minisuperspace quantum cosmology. CECG is a modification of Einstein’s gravity by cubic curvature terms that contribute non-trivially to the dynamics of FRW backgrounds, while the ...

Was Newtonian Cosmology Really Inconsistent? [PDF]

, 2008
This paper follows up a debate as to the consistency of Newtonian cosmology. Whereas Malament (1995) has shown that Newtonian cosmology *is* not inconsistent, to date there has been no analysis of Norton’s claim (1995) that Newtonian cosmology *was ...

Sociology of Modern Cosmology [PDF]

, 2008
Certain results of observational cosmology cast critical doubt on the foundations of standard cosmology but leave most cosmologists untroubled. Alternative cosmological models that differ from the Big Bang have been published and defended by heterodox ...

Quantum Ontology in the Light of Gauge Theories [PDF]

, 2011
We propose the conjecture according to which the fact that quantum mechanics does not admit sharp value attributions to both members of a complementary pair of observables can be understood in the light of the symplectic reduction of phase space in ...

Gauge fields and quantum theory [PDF]

, 1996
This thesis investigates the problems within quantum mechanics for the Bohm model caused by Lorentz invariance and the existence of photons. A model describing the electromagnetic interactions of fermions is produced which does not use photons and avoids
