Macroscopic quantum mechanics in a classical spacetime.
We apply the many-particle Schrödinger-Newton equation, which describes the coevolution of a many-particle quantum wave function and a classical space-time geometry, to macroscopic mechanical objects. By averaging over motions of the objects' internal degrees of freedom, we obtain an effective Schrödinger-Newton equation for their centers of mass, which can be monitored and manipulated at quant...
متن کاملOn symmetries in Galilei classical mechanics
In the framework of Galilei classical and mechanics (i.e. , generally relativistic classical mechanics on a spacetime with absolute time) developed by Jadczyk and Modugno, we analyse systematically the relations between symmetries of the geometric objects. We show that the (holonomic) infinitesimal symmetries of the cosymplectic structure and of its potentials are also symmetries of spacelike m...
متن کاملCosmology and Spacetime Symmetries
Cosmological models often contain scalar fields, which can acquire global nonzero expectation values that change with the comoving time. Among the possible consequences of these scalar-field backgrounds, an accelerated cosmological expansion, varying couplings, and spacetime-symmetry violations have recently received considerable attention. This talk studies the interplay of these three key sig...
متن کاملUniversal local symmetries and nonsuperposition in classical mechanics.
In the Hilbert space formulation of classical mechanics, pioneered by Koopman and von Neumann, there are potentially more observables than in the standard approach to classical mechanics. In this Letter, we show that actually many of those extra observables are not invariant under a set of universal local symmetries which appear once the Koopman and von Neumann formulation is extended to includ...
متن کاملSpacetime Symmetries and Varying Scalars
This talk discusses the relation between spacetime-dependent scalars, such as couplings or fields, and the violation of Lorentz symmetry. A specific cosmological supergravity model demonstrates how scalar fields can acquire time-dependent expectation values. Within this cosmological background, excitations of these scalars are governed by a Lorentz-breaking dispersion relation. The model also c...
