Critical review of prevailing explanations for the emergence of classicality in cosmology
Javier Berjon, Elias Okon, Daniel Sudarsky
There have been recent attempts at justifying, from first principles, and within the standard framework, the emergence of classical behavior in the post-inflationary cosmological c…
On the Status of Conservation Laws in Physics: Implications for Semiclassical Gravity
Tim Maudlin, Elias Okon, Daniel Sudarsky
We start by surveying the history of the idea of a fundamental conservation law and briefly examine the role conservation laws play in different classical contexts. In such context…
Can the quantum vacuum fluctuations really solve the cosmological constant problem?
Gabriel R. Bengochea, Gabriel León, Elias Okon +1
Recently it has been argued that a correct reading of the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum could lead to a solution to the cosmological constant problem. In this work we critical…
Expectation of primordial gravity waves generated during inflation
Gabriel León, Abhishek Majhi, Elias Okon +1
The inflationary paradigm is extremely successful regarding predictions of temperature anisotropies in the CMB. However, inflation also makes predictions for a CMB B-mode polarizat…
Losing stuff down a black hole
Elias Okon, Daniel Sudarsky
Over the years, the so-called black hole information loss paradox has generated an amazingly diverse set of (often radical) proposals. However, forty years after the introduction o…
The weight of collapse: dynamical reduction models in general relativistic contexts
Elias Okon, Daniel Sudarsky
Inspired by possible connections between gravity and foundational question in quantum theory, we consider an approach for the adaptation of objective collapse models to a general r…
