Superselection Theory for Subsystems

چکیده
An inclusion of observable nets satisfying duality induces an inclusion of canonical field nets. Any Bose net intermediate between the observable net and the field net and satisfying duality is the fixed– point net of the field net under a compact group. This compact group is its canonical gauge group if the occurrence of sectors with infinite statistics can be ruled out for the observable net and its vacuum Hilbert space is separable.

‘Einselection’ of Pointer Observables: The New H-Theorem?
In attempting to derive irreversible macroscopic thermodynamics from reversible microscopic dynamics, Boltzmann inadvertently smuggled in a premise that assumed the very irreversibility he was trying to prove: ‘molecular chaos.’ The program of ‘Einselection’ (environmentally induced superselection) within Everettian approaches faces a similar ‘Loschmidt’s Paradox’: the universe, according to th...
متن کاملOn Superselection Rules in Bohm–Bell Theories
The meaning of superselection rules in Bohm–Bell theories (i.e., quantum theories with particle trajectories) is different from that in orthodox quantum theory. More precisely, there are two concepts of superselection rule, a weak and a strong one. Weak superselection rules exist both in orthodox quantum theory and in Bohm–Bell theories and represent the conventional understanding of superselec...
متن کاملStates, Symmetries and Superselection
The process of dynamical decoherence may cause apparent superselection rules, which are sometimes called ‘environmentally induced’ or ‘soft’. A natural question is whether such dynamical processes are eventually also responsible for at least some of the superselection rules which are usually presented as fundamentally rooted in the kinematical structure of the theory (so called ‘hard’ supersele...
متن کاملSeparability condition for composite systems of distinguishable fermions
We study characterization of separable (classically correlated) states for composite systems of distinguishable fermions. In the computation of entanglement formation for such systems where located subsystems are coupled by the canonical anticommutation relations (not by tensor product), the state decompositions to be taken should respect the univalence superselection rule. (The usual entanglem...
متن کاملTime - like Superselection Rules in Conformal Quantum Field Theory
In conformally invariant quantum field theories one encounters besides the standard DHR superselection theory based on spacelike (Einsteincausal) commutation relations and their Haag duality another timelike (”Huygens”) based superselection structure. Whereas the DHR theory based on spacelike causality of observables confirmed the Lagrangian internal symmetry picture on the level of the physica...
