We take up the idea of Nelson's stochastic processes, the aim of which was to deduce Schr\"odinger's equation. We make two major changes here. The first one is to consider deterministic processes which are pseudo-random but which have the…

A cosmological model describing the evolution of $n$ Einstein spaces $(n>1)$ with $m$-component perfect-fluid matter is considered. When all spaces are Ricci-flat and for any $\alpha$-th component the pressures in all spaces are…

Quantum theory can be regarded as a non-commutative generalization of classical probability. From this point of view, one expects quantum dynamics to be analogous to classical conditional probabilities. In this paper, a variant of the…

Using multiscale analysis and methods of statistical physics, we show that a solution to the N-atom Liouville Equation can be decomposed via an expansion in terms of a smallness parameter epsilon, wherein the long scale time behavior…

Quantum mechanics is an extremely successful theory that agrees with every experiment. However, the principle of linear superposition, a central tenet of the theory, apparently contradicts a commonplace observation: macroscopic objects are…

The standard cosmological model is challenged by an ever-growing collection of observations, which invites (and stimulates) inquiry into possible additions and/or alterations. One such alteration comes from letting cosmic isotropy -- as…

Using the quantum statistical method, the difficulty of solving the wave equation on the background of the black hole is avoided.We directly solve the partition functions of Bose and Fermi field on the background of an axisymmetric…

A simple model of spacetime foam, made by $N$ wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is taken under examination. The Casimir-like energy of the quantum fluctuation of such a model and its probability of being realized are computed.…

Many models of supersymmetry breaking involve particles with weak scale mass and Planck mass suppressed couplings. Coherent production of such particles in the early universe destroys the successful predictions of nucleosynthesis. We show…

Non-relativistic quantum theory is derived from information codified into an appropriate statistical model. The basic assumption is that there is an irreducible uncertainty in the location of particles: positions constitute a configuration…

We revisit pure quantum cosmology in three dimensions. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation can be solved perturbatively and the dynamics reduces to a particle on moduli space. Its time evolution is equivalent to the $T\overline{T}$ deformation.…
