Minimal Strings for Baryons
Gerard 't Hooft
A simple model is discussed in which baryons are represented as pieces of open string connected at one common point. There are two surprises: one is that, in the conformal gauge, t…
Quantum Mechanics and Determinism
Gerard 't Hooft
It is shown how to map the quantum states of a system of free scalar particles one-to-one onto the states of a completely deterministic model. It is a classical field theory with a…
How Does God Play Dice? (Pre-)Determinism at the Planck Scale
Gerard 't Hooft
In deterministic theories, one can start from a set of ontological states to formulate the dynamical laws, but these may not be directly observable. Observable are only equivalence…
Determinism in Free Bosons
Gerard 't Hooft
It is shown how to map the quantum states of a system of free Bose particles one-to-one onto the states of a completely deterministic model. It is a classical field theory with a l…
Determinism and Dissipation in Quantum Gravity, Erice lecture
Gerard 't Hooft
Without invalidating quantum mechanics as a principle underlying the dynamics of a fundamental theory, it is possible to ask for even more basic dynamical laws that may yield quant…
Topological Aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics
Gerard 't Hooft
Absolute confinement of its color charges is a natural property of gauge theories such as quantum chromodynamics. On the one hand, it can be attributed to the existence of color-ma…
