Interpreting Effective Field Theories
An effective field theory (EFT) is a theory of the dynamics of a physical system at energies small compared to a given cut-off. Low-energy states with respect to this cut-off are effectively independent of states at high energies; hence one may study the low-energy dynamics without the need for a detailed description of the high-energy dynamics. Many authors have suggested that, because of the ...
متن کاملSpontaneous Collapse of Supersymmetry
It is shown that, if generators of supersymmetry transformations (supercharges) can be defined in a spatially homogeneous physical state, then this state describes the vacuum. Thus, supersymmetry is broken in any thermal state and it is impossible to proceed from it by “symmetrization” to states on which an action of supercharges can be defined. So, unlike the familiar spontaneous breakdown of ...
متن کاملSpontaneous sternal collapse.
Spontaneous fracture ofthe sternum may occur in the elderly, with localised chest pain which may mimic such medical emergencies as myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism. The diagnosis should be considered in the presence of localised tenderness in association with thoracic kyphosis, and the degree of sternal displacement appears to vary with the seventy of the posterior deformity. In ext...
متن کاملInterpreting Classical Theories in Constructive Ones
A number of classical theories are interpreted in analogous theories that are based on intuitionistic logic. The classical theories considered include subsystems of firstand second-order arithmetic, bounded arithmetic, and admissible set theory.
متن کاملLosing Your Marbles in Wavefunction Collapse Theories
Peter Lewis ([1997]) has recently argued that the wavefunction collapse theory of GRW (Ghirardi, Rimini, and Weber [1986]) can only solve the problem of wavefunction tails at the expense of predicting that arithmetic does not apply to ordinary macroscopic objects. More specifically, Lewis argues that the GRW theory must violate the enumeration principle: that ‘if marble 1 is in the box and marb...
