    Fundamental solution global in time for a class of Schr\"odinger equations with time-dependent potentials

    Full text link
    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 (2006

    An implication of G\"odel's incompleteness theorem

    Full text link
    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

    Quantum Mechanical Clock and Classical Relativistic Clock

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    We introduce the notion of scattering space SbrS_b^r for NN-body quantum mechanical systems, where bb is a cluster decomposition with 2≤∣b∣≤N2\le |b|\le N and rr is a real number 0≤r≤10\le r\le 1. Utilizing these spaces, we give a decomposition of continuous spectral subspace by Sb1S_b^1 for NN-body quantum systems with long-range pair potentials V_\alpha^L(x_\alpha)=O(|x_\al|^{-\ep}). This is extended to a decomposition by SbrS_b^r with 0≤r≤10\le r\le 1 for some long-range case. We also prove a characterization of ranges of wave operators by Sb0S_b^0.Comment: 36 pages, AmSTe

    Quantum Mechanics and Relativity --- Their Unification by Local Time ---

    Full text link
    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

    Theory of Local Times II. Another formulation and examples

    Full text link
    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 X×R6X\times R^6 or X×R4X\times R^4 with XX being the observer's reference frame and R6R^6 or R4R^4 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
