Abstract

Many theorems of mathematial relativity, including singularity and positive mass theorems, include the classical energy conditions among their hypotheses. However, matter described by quantum field theory can violate the classical energy conditions and indeed there is no lower bound to the energy density at a given point as the quantum state is varied. Do the classical theorems apply to quantised matter?

On the quantum KKL theorem and related inequalities | BIMSA-Tsinghua Quantum Symmetry Seminar
AbstractThe KKL theorem is a fundamental result in Boolean analysis, stating that any Boolean functionhas an influential variable. Montanaro and Osbomne proposed a quantum extension of Booleanfunctions. In this context, some classical results have been extended to the guantum setting, suchas Talagrand's I-_I’ ineguality. However, a quantum version of the KKL theorem seems to bemissing, as conj...

Quantisation ldeals -a novel approach to the old problem of quantisation | Integrable System Lunch Seminar
AbstractWe propose to revisit the problem of guantisation and look at it from an entirely new analefocusing on the guantisation of dynamical systems themselves, rather than of their Poissonstructures. We begin with a dynamical system defined on a free associative algebra fA generatedby non-commutative dynamical variables al, ac2,..., and reduce the problem of guantisation to theproblem of study...
