A question is proposed whether or not set theory is consistent.Comment: 8 pages, LaTe
Fundamental solution global in time for a class of Schr\"odinger equations with time-dependent potentials
Fundamental solution for a Schr\"odinger equation with a time-dependent
potential of long-range type is constructed. The solution is given as a Fourier
integral operator with a symbol uniformly bounded global in time, when measured
in natural semi-norms of a symbol class.Comment: To appear in Communications in Mathematical Analysis, Volume 1 No. 2

An implication of G\"odel's incompleteness theorem
A proof of G\"odel's incompleteness theorem is given. With this new proof a
transfinite extension of G\"odel's theorem is considered. It is shown that if
one assumes the set theory ZFC on the meta level as well as on the object
level, a contradiction arises. The cause is shown to be the implicit
identification of the meta level and the object level hidden behind the G\"odel
numbering. An implication of these considerations is stated.Comment: LaTeX, 50 page
Does Church-Kleene ordinal exist?
A question is proposed if a nonrecursive ordinal, the so-called Church-Kleene
ordinal really exists.Comment: 4 pages, LaTe
Quantum mechanical time contradicts the uncertainty principle
The a priori time in conventional quantum mechanics is shown to contradict
the uncertainty principle. A possible solution is given.Comment: 3 page
Quantum Mechanical Clock and Classical Relativistic Clock
A cyclic nature of quantum mechanical clock is discussed as ``quantization of
time." Quantum mechanical clock is seen to be equivalent to the relativistic
classical clock.Comment: LaTeX, 8 page
Scattering Spaces and a Decomposition of Continuous Spectral Subspace
We introduce the notion of scattering space for -body quantum
mechanical systems, where is a cluster decomposition with
and is a real number . Utilizing these spaces, we give a
decomposition of continuous spectral subspace by for -body quantum
systems with long-range pair potentials
V_\alpha^L(x_\alpha)=O(|x_\al|^{-\ep}). This is extended to a decomposition
by with for some long-range case. We also prove a
characterization of ranges of wave operators by .Comment: 36 pages, AmSTe
Quantum Mechanics and Relativity --- Their Unification by Local Time ---
A quantum-mechanical Hamiltonian with a gravitational potential is derived in
the framework of local times. This Hamiltonian is the one used by E. H. Lieb
(Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 22(1990), 1-49) in his explanation of stability and
instability of cold stars. Our procedure deriving the Hamiltonian is based on
an analysis of the process of the observation with the background of the notion
of quantum-mechanical local times compatible with general theory of relativity.Comment: 31 pages, AmSTe
A possible solution for the non-existence of time
A possible solution for the problem of non-existence of universal time is
given by utilizing Goedel's incompleteness theorem.Comment: LaTeX, 7 pages, English corrected and a miscellaneous change in

Theory of Local Times II. Another formulation and examples
The model of a stationary universe and the notion of local times presented in
[10] are reviewed with some alternative formulation of the consistent
unification of the Riemannian and Euclidean geometries of general relativity
and quantum mechanics. The method of unification adopted in the present paper
is by constructing a vector bundle or with
being the observer's reference frame and or being the unobservable
inner space(-time) within each observer's local system. Some applications of
our theory to two concrete examples of human size and of cosmological size are
discussed, as well as the uncertainty of time in our context is calculated.Comment: 22 pages, LaTeX, revised in minor description
