Realism and Causality II: Retrocausality in Energetic Causal Sets

Eliahu Cohen, Marina Cortês, Avshalom C. Elitzur, Lee Smolin (Submitted on 13 Feb 2019 (v1), last revised 19 Mar 2019 (this version, v2)) https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.05082v2 We describe a new form of retrocausality, which is found in the behaviour of a class of causal set theories, called energetic causal sets (ECS). These are discrete sets of events, connected by causal relations. They have three orders:… Read more →

Realism and causality I: Pilot wave and retrocausal models as possible facilitators

Eliahu Cohen, Marina Cortês, Avshalom C. Elitzur, Lee Smolin (Submitted on 13 Feb 2019 (v1), last revised 19 Mar 2019 (this version, v2)) https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.05108v2 Of all basic principles of classical physics, realism should arguably be the last to be given up when seeking a better interpretation of quantum mechanics. We examine the de Broglie-Bohm pilot wave theory as a well developed example of… Read more →

Magnetic monopoles and nonassociative deformations of quantum theory. (arXiv:1709.10080v1 [hep-th])  hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2017-9-29 1:58am GMT Authors: Richard J. Szabo We examine certain nonassociative deformations of quantum mechanics and gravity in three dimensions related to the dynamics of electrons in uniform distributions of magnetic charge. We describe a quantitative framework for nonassociative quantum mechanics in this setting, which exhibits… Read more →
