Uniqueness of Simultaneity
Domenico Giulini
We consider the problem of uniqueness of certain simultaneity structures in flat spacetime. Absolute simultaneity is specified to be a non-trivial equivalence relation which is inv…
Decoherence: A dynamical approach to superselection rules?
Domenico Giulini
It is well known that the dynamical mechanism of decoherence may cause apparent superselection rules, like that of molecular chirality. These `environment-induced' or `soft' supers…
".. I didn't reflect much on what I was doing.." How Planck discovered his radiation formula
Domenico Giulini, Norbert Straumann
On December 14. 1900, Max Planck communicated his derivation of his radiation formula, which he later called ``an act of desperation''. This date is widely recognized as birthday o…
The mystery of cosmological vacuum energy density and the accelerated expansion of the universe
Domenico Giulini, Norbert Straumann
The principles of General Relativity allow for a non-vanishing cosmological constant, which can possibly be interpreted at least partially in terms of quantum-fluctuations of matte…
Group Averaging and Refined Algebraic Quantization
Domenico Giulini
We review the framework of Refined Algebraic Quantization and the method of Group Averaging for quantizing systems with first-class constraints. Aspects and results concerning the…
