We study a class of theories in which space-time is treated classically, while interacting with quantum fields. These circumvent various no-go theorems and the pathologies of semi-classical gravity, by being linear in the density matrix and…
We examine the quantization of pseudoclassical dynamical systems, models that have classically anticommuting variables, in the Schr\"odinger picture. We quantize these systems, which can be viewed as classical models of particle spin, using…
