The direction of time: from the global arrow to the local arrow
Mario Castagnino, Luis Lara, Olimpia Lombardi
In this paper we discuss the traditional approaches to the problem of the arrow of time. On the basis of this discussion we adopt a global and non-entropic approach, according to w…
The cosmological origin of time-asymmetry
Mario Castagnino, Luis Lara, Olimpia Lombardi
In this paper we address the problem of the arrow of time from a cosmological point of view, rejecting the traditional entropic approach that defines the future direction of time a…
Time asymmetry as a consequence of the global properties of the universe
Mario Castagnino, Luis Lara, Olimpia Lombardi
A global definition of time-asymmetry is presented. Schulman's two arrows of time model is criticized.
Rigged Hilbert spaces and time-asymmetry: the case of the upside-down simple harmonic oscillator
Mario Castagnino, Roberto Diener, Luis Lara +1
The upside-down simple harmonic oscillator system is studied in the contexts of quantum mechanics and classical statistical mechanics. It is shown that in order to study in a simpl…
Dynamical properties of the conformally coupled flat FRW model
M. A. Castagnino H. Giacomini, L. Lara
In this paper we study the dynamical behaviour of a simple cosmological model defined by a spatially flat Robertson-Walker geometry, conformally coupled with a massive scalar field…
