Stochastic Spacetime and Brownian Motion of Test Particles

Stochastic Spacetime and Brownian Motion of Test Particles

Abstract The operational meaning of spacetime fluctuations is discussed. Classical spacetime geometry can be viewed as encoding the relations between the motions of test particles in the geometry. By analogy, quantum fluctuations of spacetime geometry can be interpreted in terms of the fluctuations of these motions. Thus one can give meaning to spacetime fluctuations in terms of observables whi...

Existence and Measurability of the Solution of the Stochastic Differential Equations Driven by Fractional Brownian Motion

Brownian Motion of Rotating Particles

A kinetic theory for the Brownian motion of spherical rotating particles is given starting from a generalized Fokker-Planck equation. The generalized Fokker-Planck collision operator is a sum of two ordinary Fokker-Planck differential operators in velocity and angular velocity space respectively plus a third term which provides a coupling of translational and rotational motions. This term stems...

Stochastic Processes and Brownian Motion

This last point, however, raises a serious question: how well does equilibrium thermodynamics really motivate our understanding of nonequilibrium phenomena? Is it reasonable for an organometallic chemist to analyze a catalytic cycle in terms of rate-law kinetics, or for a biochemist to treat the concentration of a solute in an organelle as a bulk mixture of compounds? Under many circum­ stances...
