Strings, world-sheet covariant quantization and Bohmian

Hrvoje Nikolić

The covariant canonical method of quantization based on the De Donder-Weyl covariant canon- ical formalism is used to formulate a world-sheet covariant quantization of bosonic strings. To provide the consistency with the standard non-covariant canonical quantization, it is necessary to adopt a Bohmian de- terministic hidden-variable equation of motion. In this way, string theory suggests a solution to the problem of measurement in quantum mechanics.

Covariant canonical quantization of fields and Bohmian mechanics

Nikolic, H

We propose a manifestly covariant canonical method of field quantization based on the classical De Donder-Weyl covariant canonical formulation of field theory. Owing to covariance, the space and time arguments of fields are treated on an equal footing. To achieve both covariance and consistency with standard noncovariant canonical quantization of fields in Minkowski spacetime, it is necessary to adopt a covariant Bohmian formulation of quantum field theory. A preferred foliation of spacetime emerges dynamically owing to a purely quantum effect. The application to a simple time-reparametrization invariant system and quantum gravity is discussed and compared with the conventional noncovariant Wheeler-DeWitt approach.
