Mori-Zwanzig formalism for general relativity: a new approach to the averaging problem
Michael te Vrugt, Sabine Hossenfelder, Raphael Wittkowski
Cosmology relies on a coarse-grained description of the universe, assumed to be valid on large length scales. However, the nonlinearity of general relativity makes coarse-graining…
Master equations for Wigner functions with spontaneous collapse and their relation to thermodynamic irreversibility
Michael te Vrugt, Gyula I. Tóth, Raphael Wittkowski
Wigner functions, allowing for a reformulation of quantum mechanics in phase space, are of central importance for the study of the quantum-classical transition. A full understandin…
The Mereology of Thermodynamic Equilibrium
Michael te Vrugt
The special composition question (SCQ), which asks under which conditions objects compose a further object, establishes a central debate in modern metaphysics. Recent successes of…
