The Theory of Kairons
In relativistic quantum mechanics wave functions of particles satisfy field
equations that have initial data on a space--like hypersurface. We propose a
dual field theory of ``wavicles'' that have their initial data on a time--like
worldline. Propagation of such fields is superluminal, even though the Hilbert
space of the solutions carries a unitary representation of the Poincare group
of mass zero. We call the objects described by these field equations
``Kairons''. The paper builds the field equations in a general relativistic
framework, allowing for a torsion. Kairon fields are section of a vector bundle
over space-time. The bundle has infinite--dimensional fibres.Comment: Latex, 21 pages, 1 figure, several misprints from the previous

Some Comments on the Formal Structure of Spontaneous Localization Theories
We propose a mathematical and a conceptual framework (called the `E-model'
and the `event ontology' resp.) that encompasses and generalizes the `flash'
ontology discussed in a recent paper by R. Tumulka (arXiv:quant-ph/0602208)Comment: 8 pages; written for the proceedings of the conference "On the
