The Quantum Theory of Motion

The space of local integrals of motion for the Sine-Gordon theory (the free fermion point) and the theory of free fermions in the light cone coordinates is investigated. Some important differences between the spaces of local integrals of motion of these theories are obtained. The equivalence is broken on the level of the integrals of motion between bosonic and fermionic theories (in the free fermion point). The integrals of motion are constracted without Quantum Inverse Scattering Method (QISM)and the additional quantum integrals of motion are obtaned. So the QISM is not absolutely complete.

These notes are based on a course of lectures given by Professor Nelson at Princeton during the spring term of 1966. The subject of Brownian motion has long been of interest in mathematical probability. In these lectures, Professor Nelson traces the history of earlier work in Brownian motion, both the mathematical theory, and the natural phenomenon with its physical interpretations. He continues through recent dynamical theories of Brownian motion, and concludes with a discussion of the relevance of these theories to quantum field theory and quantum statistical mechanics.

We present a theory of discontinuous motion of particles in continuous space-time. We show that the simplest nonrelativistic evolution equation of such motion is just the Schrodinger equation in quantum mechanics. This strongly implies what quantum mechanics describes is discontinuous motion of particles. Considering the fact that space-time may be essentially discrete when considering gravity, we further present a theory of discontinuous motion of particles in discrete space-time. We show that its evolution will naturally result in the dynamical collapse process of the wave function, and this collapse will bring about the appearance of continuous motion of objects in the macroscopic world.
