| 14:00 - 15:00 Weekly Seminar HEPCo Group Spacetime singularities and a novel formulation of indeterminism School PHYSICS Abstract: In this talk, I shall start with a review on spacetime singularities in general relativity (GR) and (in)determinism in a general physical theory. Then, I will try to argue for two claims: (i) The old fashioned formulation of determinism (i.e. the Laplacian determinism) faces some shortcomings and it’s useful to consider a broader notion of (in)determinism, leading to a novel formulation of it. (ii) Spacetime singularities are, in different ways, sources of indeterminism in GR, in particular, if the broader notion of indeterminism is taken into account.

This scenario corresponds to a physical picture used by Siemens and Rasmussen in the original formulation of the blast-wave model. Our framework modifies and extends this approach by incorporation of a Hubble-like expansion of QCD matter and inclusion of resonance decays. In particular, the ?(1232) resonance is taken into account, with a width obtained from the virial expansion. Altogeth ... |
