This work proposes an answer to a challenge posed by Bell on the lack of clarity in regards to the line between the quantum and classical regimes in a measurement problem. To this end, a generalized logarithmic nonlinear Schr\"odinger…
We prove the quasi-invariance of gaussian measures (supported by functions of increasing Sobolev regularity) under the flow of one dimensional Hamiltonian PDE's such as the regularized long wave (BBM) equation.
For low density gases the validity of the Boltzmann transport equation is well established. The central object is the one-particle distribution function, $f$, which in the Boltzmann-Grad limit satisfies the Boltzmann equation. Grad and,…
Consider a BV function on a Riemannian manifold. What is its differential? And what about the Hessian of a convex function? These questions have clear answers in terms of (co)vector/matrix valued measures if the manifold is the Euclidean…
Gaussian wavepackets are a popular tool for semiclassical analyses of classically chaotic systems. We demonstrate that they are extremely powerful in the semiquantal analysis of such systems, too, where their dynamics can be recast in an…
Bohmian mechanics solves the wave-particle duality paradox by introducing the concept of a physical particle that is always point-like and a separate wavefunction with some sort of physical reality. However, this model has not been…
The introduction of nonlinearities in the Schr\"odinger equation has been considered in the literature as an effective manner to describe the action of external environments or mean fields. Here, in particular, we explore the nonlinear…
We study thermodynamic formalism for topologically transitive partially hyperbolic systems in which the center-stable bundle satisfies a bounded expansion property, and show that every potential function satisfying the Bowen property has a…
We consider a semi-classically scaled Schr\"odinger equation with WKB initial data. We prove that in the classical limit the corresponding Bohmian trajectories converge (locally in measure) to the classical trajectories before the…
We study the problem of measurement-induced decoherence using the phase-space approach employing the Gaussian-smoothed Wigner distribution function. Our investigation is based on the notion that measurement-induced decoherence is…
Complexified Lienard-Wiechert potentials simplify the mathematics of Kerr-Newman particles. Here we constrain them by fiat to move along Bohmian trajectories to see if anything interesting occurs, as their equations of motion are not known.…
In this work we study the Wigner functions, which are the quantum analogues of the classical phase space density, and show how a full rigorous semiclassical scheme for all orders of \hbar can be constructed for them without referring to the…
In this article we study limits of Wigner distributions (the so-called semiclassical measures) corresponding to sequences of solutions to the semiclassical Schroedinger equation at times scales $\alpha_{h}$ tending to infinity as the…
This note is a supplement with a new result to the review paper by Takamura [13] on nonlinear wave equations in one space dimension. We are focusing here to the long-time existence of classical solutions of semilinear wave equations in one…
A completely Lorentz-invariant Bohmian model has been proposed recently for the case of a system of non-interacting spinless particles, obeying Klein-Gordon equations. It is based on a multi-temporal formalism and on the idea of treating…
Both classical and wave-mechanical monochromatic waves may be treated in terms of exact ray-trajectories (encoded in the structure itself of Helmholtz-like equations) whose mutual coupling is the one and only cause of any diffraction and…
We describe a novel approach for computing wave correlation functions inside finite spatial domains driven by complex and statistical sources. By exploiting semiclassical approximations, we provide explicit algorithms to calculate the local…
We study the transport properties of the Gaussian measures on Sobolev spaces under the dynamics of the two-dimensional defocusing cubic nonlinear wave equation (NLW). Under some regularity condition, we prove quasi-invariance of the…
In this first of a series of four articles, it is shown how a hamiltonian quantum dynamics can be formulated based on a generalization of classical probability theory using the notion of quasi-invariant measures on the classical phase space…
We analyze finite-sample statistics of Bohmian trajectories for single spinless and spin-1/2 particles. Equivariance ensures agreement with $|\psi|^2$ in the quantum equilibrium limit, yet experiments and simulations necessarily use finite…
