Pilot wave model without configuration or Fock spaces

The goal of this article is to come up with interpretation of quantum phenomena that is both local and deterministic. This is done by the means of envoking two different metrics, $g_o$ and $g_s$. These two metrics give very different "speeds of light": $c_o$ and $c_s$, respectively. The $g_o$ and $c_o$ are, respectively, "ordinary" metric and speed of light that we are used to. On the other hand, $c_s$ is superluminal. In this paper I propose a model in which newly introduced signals, which are subject to $g_s$, are responsible for key quantum phenomena.Comment: 36 pages, no figure

Gauge Fields in Causal Set Theory

This is the second paper in a series on the dynamics of matter fields in the causal set approach to quantum gravity. We start with the usual expression for the Lagrangian of a charged scalar field coupled to a SU(n) Yang-Mills field, in which the gauge field is represented by a connection form, and show how to write it in terms of holonomies between pairs of points, causal relations, and volumes or timelike distances, all of which have a natural correspondence in the causal set context. In the second part of the paper we present an alternative model, in which the gauge field appears as the result of a procedure inspired by the Kaluza-Klein reduction in continuum field theory, and the dynamics can be derived simply using the gravitational Lagrangian of the theory.Comment: 11 pages, no figure
