Some comments on indistinguishable particles and interpretation of the quantum mechanical wave function

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

This paper discusses some fundamental questions pertaining to the wave function description of multiparticle systems in quantum mechanics. Motivated by results from the study of diffeomorphism group representations, I outline a point of view addressing subtle issues often overlooked in standard, “textbook” answers to these questions.
