Quantum Evoluton and Space-time Structure
Abstract
Description
The hilbert-space structure of quantum mechanics is related to the causal structure of space-time. The usual measurement hypotheses apparently preclude nonlinear or stochastic quantum evolution. By admitting a difference in the calculus of joint probabilities of events in space-time according to whether the separation is space-like or time-like, a relativistic nonlinear or stochastic quantum theory may be possible.
