The Point of Primitive Ontology
Bohmian mechanics grounds the predictions of quantum mechanics in precise dynamical laws for a primitive ontology of point particles. In an appraisal of the de-Broglie–Bohm theory, the paper discusses the cruc...

Open AccessHow Quantum Mechanics can consistently describe the use of itself
We discuss the no-go theorem of Frauchiger and Renner based on an “extended Wigner’s friend” thought experiment which is supposed to show that any single-world interpretation of quantum mechanics leads to inco...

Against fields
Using the example of classical electrodynamics, I argue that the concept of fields as mediators of particle interactions is fundamentally flawed and reflects a misguided attempt to retrieve Newtonian concepts ...

A Mean Field Limit for the Vlasov–Poisson System
We present a probabilistic proof of the mean field limit and propagation of chaos N-particle systems in three dimensions with positive (Coulomb) or negative (Newton) 1/r potentials scaling like 1/N and an N-depen...

The Vlasov-Poisson Dynamics as the Mean Field Limit of Extended Charges
The paper treats the validity problem of the nonrelativistic Vlasov-Poisson equation in \({d \geq 2}\) ...

Typicality, Irreversibility and the Status of Macroscopic Laws
We discuss Boltzmann’s probabilistic explanation of the second law of thermodynamics providing a comprehensive presentation of what is called today the typicality account. Countering its misconception as an alter...
