    Foundations of Quantum Mechanics: On Rotations by 4pi for Half-Integral Spin Particles.L. S. F. Olavo - 2015 - Foundations of Physics 45 (11):1483-1494.
    Rotations in Quantum Mechanics are a very well-known subject. When one is faced with rotations related to the SO group, for instance, all the underlying operators are well-known and built from their classical counterparts. However, when it comes to represent rotations related to the SU group, it is always argued that there is no classical counterpart from which the expressions for the quantum mechanical operators can be built. The approach is always done using matrix representation. In the way of this (...)

  2. Foundations of Quantum Mechanics: The Connection Between QM and the Central Limit Theorem. [REVIEW]L. S. F. Olavo - 2004 - Foundations of Physics 34 (6):891-935.
    In this paper we unravel the connection between the quantum mechanical formalism and the Central limit theorem (CLT). We proceed to connect the results coming from this theorem with the derivations of the Schrödinger equation from the Liouville equation, presented by ourselves in other papers. In those papers we had used the concept of an infinitesimal parameter δx that raised some controversy. The status of this infinitesimal parameter is then elucidated in the framework of the CLT. Finally, we use the (...)
