Chern-Simons theory in mathematics, condensed matter theory and cosmology
Jürg Fröhlich
Various applications of Chern-Simons theory in algebraic topology, in particular knot theory, condensed matter physics and cosmology are reviewed. Special attention is paid to appe…
The quantum mechanics of experiments
Jürg Fröhlich, Alessandro Pizzo
This note starts with a recapitulation of what people call the ``Measurement Problem'' of Quantum Mechanics (QM). The dissipative nature of the quantum-mechanical time-evolution of…
Phase Transitions, Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking, and Goldstone's Theorem
Jürg Fröhlich
Some important rigorous results on phase transitions accompanied by the spontaneous breaking of symmetries in statistical mechanics and relativistic quantum field theory are review…
Two Results in the Quantum Theory of Measurements
Simone Del Vecchio, Jürg Fröhlich, Alessandro Pizzo +1
Two theorems with applications to the quantum theory of measurements are stated and proven. The first one clarifies and amends von Neumann's Measurement Postulate used in the Copen…
A Completion of Quantum Mechanics
Jürg Fröhlich, Zhou Gang, Alessandro Pizzo
A proposal of how to complete non-relativistic quantum mechanics to a physically meaningful, mathematically precise and logically coherent theory is reviewed. Our proposal leads to…
Irreversibility and the Arrow of Time
Jürg Fröhlich
Within the general formalism of quantum theory irreversibility and the arrow of time in the evolution of various physical systems are studied. Irreversible behavior often manifests…
