چکیده
It is shown that, in order to avoid unacceptable nonlocal effects, the free parameters of the general Doebner-Goldin equation have to be chosen such that this nonlinear Schrödinger equation becomes Galilean covariant.

متن کاملNon-equilibrium in Stochastic Mechanics
The notion of non-equilibrium, in the sense of a particle distribution other than ρ = |ψ|, is imported into Nelson’s stochastic mechanics, and described in terms of effective wavefunctions obeying non-linear equations. These techniques are applied to the discussion of non-locality in non-linear Schrödinger equations.
متن کاملPlanck-Scale Soccer-Ball Problem: A Case of Mistaken Identity
Over the last decade, it has been found that nonlinear laws of composition of momenta are predicted by some alternative approaches to “real” 4D quantum gravity, and by all formulations of dimensionally-reduced (3D) quantum gravity coupled to matter. The possible relevance for rather different quantum-gravity models has motivated several studies, but this interest is being tempered by concerns t...
