On quantum theory

On Quantum Galois Theory

The goals of the present paper are to initiate a program to systematically study and rigorously establish what a physicist might refer to as the “operator content of orbifold models.” To explain what this might mean, and to clarify the title of the paper, we will assume that the reader is familiar with the algebraic formulation of 2-dimensional CFT in the guise of vertex operator algebras (VOA)...

On Quantum Theory⋆

Quantum theory is a well-defined local theory with a clear interpretation. No “measurement problem” or any other foundational matters are waiting to be settled. PACS. 03.65.-w Quantum mechanics Quantum theory had essentially taken its final shape by the end of the 1920s and, in the more than eighty years since then, has been spectacularly successful and reliable — there is no experimental fact,...

Quantum group gauge theory on quantum spaces

We construct quantum group-valued canonical connections on quantum homogeneous spaces, including a q-deformed Dirac monopole on the quantum sphere of Podles quantum differential coming from the 3-D calculus of Woronowicz on SUq(2) . The construction is presented within the setting of a general theory of quantum principal bundles with quantum group (Hopf algebra) fiber, associated quantum vector...

quantum theory and the intelligent design argument

quantum theory poses itself to be a challenging counterpart to the intelligent design argument. quantum physics founded upon uncertainty, probability and statistics has exerted great influence since its inception on the philosophical thinking of man. the findings of this theory has helped bring about a dramatic transformation in the notion of ‘order in nature.’ in modern physics, it is hardly p...
