Search for Effect of Influence from Future in Large Hadron Collider

We propose an experiment which consists of drawing a card and using it to decide restrictions on the running of Large Hadron Collider (LHC for short) at CERN, such as luminosity, and beam energy. There may potentially occur total shut down. The purpose of such an experiment is to search for influence from the future, that is, backward causation. Since LHC will produce particles of a mathematically new type of fundamental scalars, i.e., the Higgs particles, there is potentially a chance to find unseen effects, such as on influence going from future to past, which we suggest in the present paper.Comment: 18pp, comments added, change of title and corrections of main text; v4:minor typos correcte

Dimension Four Wins the Same Game as the Standard Model Group

In a previous article Don Bennett and I looked for,found and proposed a game in which the Standard Model group S(U(2)XU(3)) gets singled out as the "winner". Here I propose to extend this "game" to construct a corresponding game between different potential dimensions for space time. The idea is to formulate how the same competition as the one between the potential gauge groups would run out, if restricted to the potential Lorentz or Poincare groups achievable for different dimensions of space time d. The remarkable point is that it is the experimental dimension of space time 4 which wins. So the same function defined over Lie groups seems to single out both the gauge group and the space time dimension in nature. This seems a rather strange coincidence unless there is really some similar physics behind.Comment: After introducing some more review o the previous article the historical stuff was moved into an appendi

On the distribution of stellar-sized black hole spins

Black hole spin will have a large impact on searches for gravitational waves with advanced detectors. While only a few stellar mass black hole spins have been measured using X-ray techniques, gravitational wave detectors have the capacity to greatly increase the statistics of black hole spin measurements. We show what we might learn from these measurements and how the black hole spin values are influenced by their formation channels.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, pre-GW150914 detection, refereed and accepted contribution to proceedings of 11th Edoardo Amaldi Conference on Gravitational Waves, June 2015, Gwangju, Kore

Initial Condition Model from Imaginary Part of Action and the Information Loss

We review slightly a work by Horowitz and Maldecena solving the information loss problem for black holes by having inside the blackhole - near to the singularity - a boundary condition, as e.g the no boundary proposal by Hartle and Hawking. Here we propose to make this boundary condition come out of our imaginary action model (together with Masao Ninomiya). This model naturally begins effectively to set up boundaries - whether it be in future or past! - especially strongly whenever we reach to high energy physics regimes, such as near the black hole singularity, or in Higgs producing machines as LHC or SSC. In such cases one can say our model predicts miracles. The point is that you may say that the information loss problem, unless you solve it in other ways, call for such a violation of time causality as in our imaginary action model!Comment: Proceedings to ``Black Holes in General Relativity and String Theory'' in Veli Losjinj, Chroati

String from Veneziano model

This article is about my memories from the discovery that the Veneziano model describes in fact interacting strings. I came to the understanding of that the dual or Veneziano model is really a model of strings independently of L. Susskind and Y. Nambu. A characteristic feature of my approach was that I used thinking of very high order "fishnet" or planar Feynman diagrams as the way of at first describing the development of the strings. A chain of constituents leads to planar diagrams dominating when only neighbours on the chain interact significantly. The article also mentions the works of Ziro Koba and mine about extending the Veneziano model first to five external particles - as Bardakci and Ruegg, Chan Tsou, and Goebel and Sakita also did - and subsequently to an arbitrary number n of external mesons.Comment: 10 pages, contribution to Conference "The Birth of String Theory" by Filippo iColomo et al. in Firenze 200

Test for cointegration rank in general vector autoregressions

Johansen derived the asymptotic theory for his cointegration rank test statisic for a vector autoregression where the parameters are restricted so the process is integrated of order one. It is investigated to what extent these parameter restrictions are binding. The eigenvalues of Johansen’s eigenvalue problem are shown to have the same consistency rates accross the parameter space. The test statistic is shown to have the usual asymptotic distribution as long as the possibilities of additional unit roots and of singular explosiveness are ruled out. To prove the results the convergence of stochastic integrals with respect to singular explosive processes is considered.
