Non-reflexive Logical Foundation for Quantum Mechanics Latest Results for Foundations of Physics on 2014-11-02 12:00am GMT Abstract On the one hand, non-reflexive logics are logics in which the principle of identity does not hold in general. On the other hand, quantum mechanics has difficulties regarding the interpretation of ‘particles’ and their identity, also known in the literature as ‘the problem… Read more →
Classical and quantum ghosts. (arXiv:1406.4550v4 [hep-th] UPDATED) gr-qc updates on arXiv.org on 2014-10-24 10:18am GMT The aim of these notes is to provide a self-contained review of why it is generically a problem when a solution of a theory possesses ghost fields among the perturbation modes. We define what a ghost field is and we show that its presence is… Read more →
