We define a class of Lorentz invariant Bohmian quantum models for N entangled
but noninteracting Dirac particles. Lorentz invariance is achieved for these
models through the incorporation of an additional dynamical space-time
structure provided by a foliation of space-time. These models can be regarded
as the extension of Bohm's model for N Dirac particles, corresponding to the
foliation into the equal-time hyperplanes for a distinguished Lorentz frame, to
more general foliations. As with Bohm's model, there exists for these models an
equivariant measure on the leaves of the foliation. This makes possible a
simple statistical analysis of position correlations analogous to the
equilibrium analysis for (the nonrelativistic) Bohmian mechanics.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figures, RevTex. Completely revised versio
Abstract.The quantum probability ux of a particle integrated over time and a distant surface gives the probability for the particle crossing that surface at some time. The relation between these crossing probabilities and the usual formula for the scattering cross section is provided by the ux-acrosssurfaces theorem, which w as conjectured by Combes, Newton and Shtokhamer. 1 We p r o ve t h e u xacross-surfaces theorem for short range potentials and wave functions without energy cuto s. The proof is based on the free ux-across-surfaces theorem (Daumer et. al.), 2 and on smoothness properties of generalized eigenfunctions: It is shown that if the potential V (x) d e c a ys like jxj ; at in nity with > n 2 IN then the generalized eigenfunctions of the corresponding Hamiltonian ; 1 2 + V are n ; 2 times continuously di erentiable with respect to the momentum variable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
