We study a collapsing system attracted by a spherically symmetric gravitational source, with an increasing mass, that generates back-reaction effects that are the source of space-time waves. As an example, we consider an exponential…
We study the partial time dependent collapse of a spherically symmetric compact object with initial mass $M_1+M_2$ and final mass $M_2$ and the waves of space-time emitted during the collapse via back-reaction effects. We obtain exact…
We explore a collapsing cosmology driven by a scalar field which is minimally coupled to gravity in a spatially at and spherically symmetric, isotropic and homogeneous space-time, with a variable timescale that avoids the final singularity.…
Collapse models possibly suggest the need for a better understanding of the structure of space-time. We argue that physical space, and space-time, are emergent features of the Universe, which arise as a result of dynamical collapse of the…
A picture of dynamical collapse of the wave function which is relativistic and time symmetric is presented. The part of the model which exhibits these features is the set of collapse outcomes. These play the role of matter distributed in…
In this work we describe the partial collapse of a compact object and the emission of spacetime waves as a result of back-reaction effects. As a source mass term we propose a non-smooth continuous function that describes a mass-loss, and we…
We study the dynamic collapse driven by a scalar field, when a relativistic observer falls co-moving with the collapse and cross the horizon of a Schwarzschild black-hole (BH), at $t=t_0$. During the collapse the scale of time is considered…
We study the emission of large-scales wavelength space-time waves during the inflationary expansion of the universe, produced by back-reaction effects. As an example, we study an inflationary model with variable time scale, where the scale…
We argue that space and space-time emerge as a consequence of dynamical collapse of the wave function of macroscopic objects. Locality and separability are properties of our approximate, emergent universe. At the fundamental level,…
We propose that space-time results from collapse of the wave function of macroscopic objects, in quantum dynamics. We first argue that there ought to exist a formulation of quantum theory which does not refer to classical time. We then…
We study the collapse of the universe described by a scalar field spherically symmetric collapse of a system described by a massless scalar field from a 5D Riemann-flat canonical metric, on which we make a dynamical foliation on the extra…
The notion of a physical collapse of the wave function is embodied in dynamical collapse models. These involve a modification of the unitary evolution of the wave function such as to give a dynamical account of collapse. The resulting…
A framework for wave function collapse models that is symmetric under time reversal is presented. Within this framework there are equivalent pictures of collapsing wave functions evolving in both time directions. The backwards-in-time Born…
In this paper, we further develop a recently proposed theory of time based on wavefunction collapse in general relativity. It is based on the postulations that quantum states, which violate the momentum and Hamiltonian constraints,…
The assumption that wave function collapse is induced by correlating interactions of the kind that constitute measurements leads to a stochastic collapse equation that does not require the introduction of any new physical constants and that…
We propose that moments of time arise through the failed emergence of the temporal diffeomorphism as gauge symmetry, and that the passage of time is a continual process of an instantaneous state collapsing toward a gauge-invariant state.…
A dynamical symmetry for spherical collapse has been studied using a linear transformation of the initial data set (mass and kinetic energy function) and the area radius. With proper choice of the initial area radius, the evolution as well…
The formation of black holes or naked singularities is studied in a model in which a homogeneous time-dependent scalar field with an exponential potential couples to four dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant. An analytic…
The aim of this article is to define a time-dependent cosmological interpretation of quantum mechanics in the context of an infinite open FLRW universe. A time-dependent quantum state is defined for observers in similar observable universes…
Collapse models are modifications of quantum theory where the wave function is treated as physically real and the collapse of the wave function is a physical process. This appears to introduce a time reversal asymmetry into the dynamics of…
