    Notes: Abstract Previous derivations of physical-region discontinuity formulas in S-matrix theory make use of an ad hoc assumption according to which certain sets of singularities associated with mixed-α Landau diagrams cancel among themselves. The aim of the present work is to prove the simplest of these discontinuity formulas, namely, the pole-factorization theorem for a 3 → 3 equal-mass process below the 4-particle threshold, without using this mixed-α cancellation assumption. The result is derived from macro-causality, unitarity and two weak regularity assumptions on scattering functions and bubble diagram functions.

    Notes: Abstract It is shown that the singularity spectrum of the phase space integral associated with any partially ordered Landau diagram is confined to a variety defined by a set of modified Landau equations. These equations are similar to the ordinary Landau equations but involve limiting procedures. The variety defined by the modified equations coincides with the variety defined by the ordinary equations except at points calledu=0 points. Next the causal parts of the sets defined by the modified Landau equations are defined, in a natural way, and it is conjectured that the singularity spectrum of theS-matrix is confined to the union of the causal parts of the singularity spectra of the phase space integrals. An analogous conjecture on general bubble diagram functions asserts that the singularity spectrum of each of these functions is confined to sets defined by the modified Landau equations augmented by appropriate positive-α and negative-α conditions. Generalized Landau equations are introduced. These equations do not involve limiting procedures, but provide a useful partial characterization of the sets defined by the modified Landau equations augmented by these positive-α and negative-α conditions.

    Macroscopic causality and physical region analyticity in S-matrix theory (1969)

    Notes: Abstract An equivalence is proved between a certain macroscopic causality condition and the normal analytic structure of the physical-regionS-matrix. The normal analytic structure is this: each scattering function has physical-region singularities only on positive-α Landau surfaces and near these surfaces it is the limit from certain well-defined directions of a unique analytic function. The macroscopic causality condition is formulated in terms ofS-matrix concepts. It expresses the requirement that in an appropriate classical macroscopic limit all transition amplitudes fall off in the way indicated by classical estimates. This result gives, on the one hand, a physical basis for the basic physical-region analyticity properties of theS matrix. On the other hand, it gives, alternatively, a basis for a space-time description of phenomena starting from momentum space properties having noa priori space-time content.

    On the regular holonomic character of theS-matrix and microlocal analysis of unitarity-type integrals (1982)

    Notes: Abstract The previously proved results that every analytically renormalized Feynman integral is a regular holonomic function suggests that theS-matrix should be locally expressible as an infinite sum of regular holonomic functions. A regularity propertyR is formulated that expresses the condition that theS-matrix be locally expressible near each physical pointp as a convergent sum of regular holonomic functions, with each term enjoying some of the regularity properties of a corresponding Feynman integral. This propertyR holds at every physical pointp that has yet been analyzed by the methods of axiomatic field theory orS-matrix theory. Some analyticity properties of unitarity-type integrals are then examined under the assumption that theS-matrix satisfies propertyR and a weak integrability condition. These results rest heavily on some recently proved properties of regular holonomic functions.

    Bell's theorem in an indeterministic universe (1995)

    Notes: Abstract A variation of Bell's theorem that deals with the indeterministic case is formulated and proved within the logical framework of Lewis's theory of counterfactuals. The no-faster-than-light-influence condition is expressed in terms of Lewis ‘would’ counterfactual conditionals. Objections to this procedure raised by certain philosophers of science are examined and answered. The theorem shows that the incompatibility between the predictions of quantum theory and the idea of no faster-than-light influence cannot be ascribed to any auxiliary or tacit assumption of either determinism or the related idea that outcomes of unperformed measurements are determinate within nature. In addition, the theorem provides an example of an application of Lewis's theory of counterfactuals in a rigorous scientific context.

    Notes: Abstract Einstein's principle that no signal travels faster than light suggests that observations in one spacetime region should not depend on whether or not a radioactive decay is detected in a spacelike-separated region. This locality property is incompatible with the predictions of quantum theory, and this incompatibility holds independently of the questions of realism, objective reality, and hidden variables. It holds both in the pragmatic quantum theory of Bohr and in realistic frameworks. It is shown here to hold in a completed realistic quantum theory that reconciles Einstein's demand for a description of reality itself with Bohr's contention that quantum theory is complete. This completed realistic quantum theory has no hidden variables, and no objective reality in which observable attributes can become definite independently of observers. The theory is described in some detail, with particular attention to those aspects related to the question of locality. This completed realistic quantum theory is in principle more comprehensive than Bohn's pragmatic quantum theory because it is not limited in principle by the requirement that the observed system be physically separated from the observing one. Applications are discussed.

    Comments on “locality, Bell's theorem, and quantum mechanics” (1985)

    Notes: Abstract Two different ideas of locality are described. Both are due essentially to einstein. Quantum theory is compatible with the first but not the second. The problems encountered in the article cited in the title arise from trying to use only the first idea of locality, whereas Bell's-theorem considerations pertain to the second.

    Notes: Abstract It is argued that the validity of the predictions of quantum theory in certain spincorrelation experiments entails a violation of Einstein's locality idea that no causal influence can act outside the forward light cone. First, two preliminary arguments suggesting such a violation are reviewed. They both depend, in intermediate stages, on the idea that the results of certain unperformed experiments are physically determinate. The second argument is entangled also with the problem of the meaning of “physical reality.” A new argument having neither of these characteristics is constructed. It is based strictly on the orthodox ideas of Bohr and Heisenberg, and has no realistic elements, or other ingredients, that are alien to orthodox quantum thinking.
