Relevance of Induced Gauge Interactions in Decoherence
arXiv:gr-qc/9408017 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.52.3375
Abstract
Decoherence in quantum cosmology is shown to occur naturally in the presence of induced geometric gauge interactions associated with particle production.A new 'gauge '-variant form of the semiclassical Einstein equations is also presented which makes the non-gravitating character of the vacuum polarisation energy explicit.
