known only to a minority of physicists. In the meantime, a wealth of contributions has …

Why there is a field algebra with a compact gauge group describing the superselection structure in particle physics

S Doplicher, JE Roberts - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1990 - Springer
Given the local observables in the vacuum sector fulfilling a few basic principles of local
quantum theory, we show that the superselection structure, intrinsically determined a priori …

Diffeomorphism-invariant observables and their nonlocal algebra

W Donnelly, SB Giddings - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS

given primarily to leading order in Newton's constant, analogous to and extending …

Index theory of one dimensional quantum walks and cellular automata

D Gross, V Nesme, H Vogts, RF Werner - … in Mathematical Physics, 2012 - Springer
If a one-dimensional quantum lattice system is subject to one step of a reversible discrete-
time dynamics, it is intuitive that as much “quantum information” as moves into any given …

A new look at Goldstone's theorem

D Buchholz, S Doplicher, R Longo… - … in Mathematical Physics, 1992 - World Scientific

[PDF][PDF] Gauss' law and the infraparticle problem

D Buchholz - Physics Letters B, 1986 - scholar.archive.org
1. There is ample evidence, both from the study of exactly soluble models and from more
abstract arguments, that particles carrying an electric charge are inevitably accompanied by …

How is quantum information localized in gravity?

W Donnelly, SB Giddings - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
A notion of localization of information within quantum subsystems plays a key role in
describing the physics of quantum systems, and in particular is a prerequisite for discussing …

[BOOK][B] Emergence in context: A treatise in twenty-first century natural philosophy

RC Bishop, M Silberstein, M Pexton - 2022 - books.google.com
