Collapse of Probability Distributions in Relativistic Spacetime
Hans C. Ohanian
The collapse of a spatial probability distribution is triggered by a measurement at a given spacetime point. It is customarily assumed that this collapse occurs along an equal-time…
Weyl gauge-vector and complex dilaton scalar for conformal symmetry and its breaking
Hans C. Ohanian
Instead of the scalar "dilaton" field that is usually adopted to construct conformally invariant Lagrangians for gravitation, we here propose a hybrid construction, involving both…
On an Atom-Interferometer Test of the Speed of Collapse of Wavefunctions in Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
Hans C. Ohanian
I propose to resolve the controversy over the speed of collapse of quantum-mechanical wavefunctions by means of an experimental test with a modified symmetric Mach-Zehnder atom int…
Reversed Gravitational Acceleration for High-speed Particles
Hans C. Ohanian
Examination of the free-fall motion of particles of extremely high-speed in the Schwarzschild geometry reveals that the gravitational acceleration of such particles is reversed whe…
The Energy-Momentum Tensor in General Relativity and in Alternative Theories of Gravitation, and the Gravitational vs. Inertial Mass
Hans C. Ohanian
We establish a general relation between the canonical energy-momentum tensor of Lagrangian dynamics and the tensor that acts as the source of the gravitational field in Einstein's…
Comment on "A 'local observables' method for wave mechanics applied to atomic hydrogen," by Peter Bowman [Am. J. Phys. 76, 1120-1129 (2008)]
Hans C. Ohanian
This comment identifies a mistake in a paper by P. Bowman that claims that the total angular momentum of the ground state of atomic hydrogen is 1.
