چکیده
With reference to a particular example, we prove that the Decoherent Histories approach to Quantum Mechanics meets logical contradictions unless one drastically limits the allowed decoherent families. Our proof follows a line of reasoning different from the one of anologous criticisms which have been put forward recently; due to its different logical structure, it cannot be rejected on the basis of arguments like those used by Griffiths to claim that the above mentioned criticisms are irrelevant. The proof exhibited here is a particular case of a completely general theorem which has been proved in a recent paper by us.

We present spectral methods developed in our group to solve three-dimensional partial differential equations. The emphasis is put on equations arising from astro-physical problems in the framework of general relativity.

In this paper we discuss the connection between the geometric and tetrad approaches in the quantum affine-metric gravity. The corresponding transition formulas are obtained at the one-loop level. As an example, the one-loop counterterms are calculated in the tetrad formalism in the theory with terms quadratic in the torsion field. This model possesses the extra local symmetries connected with t...

It is shown that a transition from a multidimensional cosmological model with one internal space of the dimension d 1 to the effective tree-level bosonic string corresponds to an infinite number of the internal dimensions: d 1 → ∞.

A recent investigation shows that a local gauge string with a phenomenological energy momentum tensor, as prescribed by Vilenkin, is inconsistent in Brans-Dicke theory. In this work it has been shown that such a string is consistent in a more general scalar tensor theory where ω is function of the scalar field.A set of solutions of full nonlinear Einstein's equations for interior region of such...
