Remarks on Cosmic Strings and Quantum Gravity
Jeeva S. Anandan
A quantum equivalence principle is formulated by means of a gravitational phase operator which is an element of the Poincare group. This is applied to the spinning cosmic string wh…
Quantum Measurement Problem and the Possible Role of the Gravitational Field
Jeeva Anandan
The quantum measurement problem and various unsuccessful attempts to resolve it are reviewed. A suggestion by Diosi and Penrose for the half life of the quantum superposition of tw…
Classical and Quantum Physical Geometry
Jeeva S. Anandan
The task of quantizing gravity is compared with Einstein's relativization of gravity. The philosophical and physical foundations of general relativity are briefly reviewed. The Ehl…
Gravitational Phase Operator and Cosmic Strings
J. Anandan
A quantum equivalence principle is formulated by means of a gravitational phase operator which is an element of the Poincare group. This is applied to the spinning cosmic string wh…
REALITY AND GEOMETRY OF STATES AND OBSERVABLES IN QUANTUM THEORY
J. Anandan
The determination of the quantum state of a single system by protective observation is used to justify operationally a formulation of quantum theory on the quantum state space (pro…
TOPOLOGICAL PHASES AND THEIR DUALITY IN ELECTROMAGNETIC AND GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS
Jeeva Anandan
The duality found by Aharonov and Casher for topological phases in the electromagnetic field is generalized to an arbitrary linear interaction. This provides a heuristic principle…
REMARKS CONCERNING THE GEOMETRIES OF GRAVITY AND GAUGE FIELDS
Jeeva Anandan
An important limitation is shown in the analogy between the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the parallel transport on a cone. It illustrates a basic difference between gravity and gauge f…
