Reconstructing quantum mechanics is finally here!!

Here is the line of argument

It is based on a "fixed point" mathematical argument.

The laws of nature are the same regardless of how we assemble subsystems into a larger one, or how we partition a system into subsystems. This is the core idea. There are three possible solutions:

• Hyperbolic (not present in nature)
• Parabolic (classical mechanics)
• Elliptic (quantum mechanics)

The result is based on the algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics which is a better formulation over the Hilbert space formulation in view of Araki-Haag-Kastler axioms and Haag's theorem.

Today it is my sad duty to announce that Gerard Emch passed away on March 5, 2013

Here is the official announcement:

Professor Emch had fundamental contributions in the algebraic approach to quantum mechanics and here are two important books he wrote:

Mathematical and Conceptual Foundations of 20th-Century Physics
Algebraic Methods in Statistical Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory

Here is his mathematical genealogy entry:

His passing represents a great loss for the mathematical and physics community.
