چکیده

We present a pilot-wave model for quantum field theory in which the Dirac sea is taken seriously. The model ascribes particle trajectories to all the fermions, including the fermions filling the Dirac sea. The model is deterministic and applies to the regime in which fermion-number is super-selected. This work is a further elaboration of work by Colin, in which a Dirac sea pilot-wave model is presented for quantum electrodynamics. We extend his work to non-electromagnetic interactions , we discuss the regularization of the pilot-wave model and study how it reproduces the standard quantum predictions. The Dirac sea pilot-model can be seen as a possible continuum generalization of a lattice model by Bell. It can also be seen as a development and generalization of the ideas by Bohm, Hiley and Kaloyerou, who also suggested the use of the Dirac sea for the development of a pilot-wave model for quantum electrodynamics.

Field beables for quantum field theory

The deBroglie-Bohm pilot-wave theory is an interpretation of quantum theory in which the observer plays no fundamental role. In a pilot-wave theory, quantum systems are not only described by the state vector, but also by some additional variables. These additional variables, also called beables, can be particle positions, field configurations, strings, etc. In this paper we focus our attention ...

We present a way to construct a pilot-wave model for quantum field theory. The idea is to introduce beables corresponding only to the bosonic degrees of freedom and not to the fermionic degrees of freedom of the quantum state. We illustrate this idea for quantum elec-trodynamics. The beables will be field beables corresponding to the electromagnetic field and they will be introduced in a simila...

A formulation of quantum field theory realizing a sea of interacting Dirac particles

In this survey article we explain a few ideas behind the framework of the fermionic projector and summarize recent results which clarify the connection to quantum field theory. The fermionic projector is introduced, which describes the physical system by a collection of Dirac states, including the states of the Dirac sea. Formulating the interaction by an action principle for the fermionic proj...

Compressive and rarefactive dust-ion acoustic solitary waves in four components ‎quantum plasma with dust-charge variation

Based on quantum hydrodynamics theory (QHD), the propagation of nonlinear quantum dust-ion acoustic (QDIA) solitary waves in a ‎collision-less, unmagnetized four component quantum plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, ions and stationary negatively charged ‎dust grains with dust charge variation is investigated using reductive perturbation method. The charging current to the dust grains ca...

Anyon Basis of c = 1 Conformal Field Theory

We study the c = 1 conformal field theory of a free compactified boson with radius r = √ β (β is an integer). The Fock space of this boson is constructed in terms of anyon vertex operators and each state is labeled by an infinite set of pseudo-momenta of filled particles in pseudo-Dirac sea. Wave function of multi anyon state is described by an eigenfunction of the Calogero-Sutherland (CS) mode...
