  • The 3-Fold Way and Consciousness Studies K. Korotkov, A. Levichev
    © K. Korotkov, A. Levichev The 3-fold Way and Consciousness Studies K. Korotkov, A. Levichev Contents Part I. Biological fields and Quantum Mechanical representations I.1. Conventional Quantum Mechanical representations. I.2. Chronometric development of QM and the DLF-perspective. I.3. Fields of biological subjects. Part II. Penrose-Hameroff approach to quantum mechanics as the foundation for a theory of consciousness II.1. Discussion of some quantum-mechanical topics involved II.2. Quantum coherence, quantum computation, and where to seek the physical basis of mind II.3. The Penrose-Hameroff Orchestrated Objective Reduction model II.4. DLF-approach implanted into Penrose-Hameroff model Part III. Segal’s Chronometry and its LF-development III.1. Segal’s Chronometric Theory: a brief overview. III.2. Space-times L, F are on equal footing with D; the list is now complete III.3. Can the New Science be based on the DLF-triad? Part IV. Emergence of New Science and the GDV Bioelectrography IV.1. The three worlds have been known to humanity since ancient times IV.2. Is Direct Vision an example of L-phenomenon? I.1. Conventional Quantum Mechanical representations. Accordingly to quantum mechanics, each object is described by its state, or wave function. We prefer to use “state”, since (initially, at least) it is neither numerical-, nor vector-valued. Rather, it is a section of an induced vector bundle over space- time. It can be converted into a function (with values in a prescribed “spin space”) but one needs to go through the “parallelization” procedure (see our III.2, III.3 for more details).

  • Who Is Lennart Carleson?
    The Abel Prize for 2006 has been awarded Lennart Carleson, The Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden Professor Lennart Carleson will accept the Abel Prize for 2006 from His Majesty King Harald in a ceremony at the University of Oslo Aula, at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 23 May 2006. In this background paper, we shall give a description of Carleson and his work. This description includes precise discussions of his most important results and attempts at popular presentations of those same results. In addition, we present the committee's reasons for choosing the winner and Carleson's personal curriculum vitae. This paper has been written by the Abel Prize's mathematics spokesman, Arne B. Sletsjøe, and is based on the Abel Committee's deliberations and prior discussion, relevant technical literature and discussions with members of the Abel Committee. All of this material is available for use by the media, either directly or in an adapted version.

INTRODUCTION The Heisenberg group Hn is a nilpotent Lie group which plays a critical role in quantum mechanics and a significant role in representation theory. The irreducible infinitedimensional unitary representations of Hn satisfy the ``canonical commutation relations.'' Recently, [BC1 ,BC2 ,BC3 ,] provided an analysis of the C*-algebra generated by these unitary operators using the complex-function theory tools available in the SegalBargmann repre- sentation space. This work suggests an interesting connection between the convolution algebra M(Hn) of bounded regular Borel measures on Hn and the BerezinToeplitz quantization. In particular, for the SegalBargmann representation \, the C*-algebra generated by \[M(Hn)] is just the C*- algebra generated by BerezinToeplitz operators with positive-definite ``symbols.'' This algebra is a deformation of the sup norm algebra generated by positive-definite functions on complex n-space Cn.

  • Projective Loop Quantum Gravity II. Searching for Semi-Classical States
    Projective Loop Quantum Gravity II. Searching for1,2 Semi-Classical States1 Suzanne Lanéry and homas hiemann 1 Institute for Quantum Gravity, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany 2 Mathematics and #heoretical Physics Laboratory, François-Rabelais University of #ours, France October 7, 2015 Abstract In [13] an extension of the Ashtekar-Lewandowski (AL) state space [2] of %oop Quantum Gravity was set up with the help a projective formalism introduced by 5ijowski [12, 21, 15]. #he motivation for this work was to achieve a more balanced treatment of the position and momentum variables (aka. holonomies and fluxes). Indeed, states in the AL Hilbert spaces describe discrete quantum excitations on top of a vacuum which is an eigenstate of the flux variables (a ‘no-geometry’ state): in such states, most holonomies are totally spread, making it difficult to approximate a smooth, classical 4-geometry. However, going beyond the AL sector does not fully resolve this difficulty: one uncovers a deeper issue hindering the constructionSU of states semi-classical with respect to a full set of observables. In the present article, we analyze this issue in the case of real-valued holonomies 1we will briefly comment on the heuristic implications for other gauge groups, eg. (2) 26 Specifically, we sho 0 that, in this case, there does not exist any state on the holonomy-flux algebra in which the variances of the holonomies and fluxes observables would all be finite, let alone small6 It is important to note that this obstruction cannot be bypassed by further enlarging the quantum state space, for it arises from the structure of the algebra itself: as there are too many (uncountably many) non-vanishing commutators between the holonomy and flux operators, the corresponding Heisenberg inequalities force the quantum uncertainties to blow up uncontrollably.
