• Title: The multi-time propagators and the consistency condition
• Authors: Siwaporn Sungted and Sikarin Yoo-Kong
• Abstract summary: The time evolution of a wave function with $N$ time variables is derived through the Feynman picture of quantum mechanics. The evolution of the wave function gives rise to a key feature called the "path-independent" property on the space of time variables. In the view of the geometry, this consistency condition can be considered as a zero curvature condition and the multi-time evolution can be treated as a compatible parallel transport on flat space of time variables.

• Abstract: The time evolution of a wave function with $N$ time variables through the Feynman picture of quantum mechanics is derived. However, these evolutions will be compatible if and only if the $N$ Lagrangians satisfy a certain relation called the consistency condition or integrability condition which could be expressed in terms of the Wilson line. This consistency condition violates if there presents the interaction. As a consequence of this consistency condition, the evolution of the wave function gives rise to a key feature called the "path-independent" property on the space of time variables. This would suggest that one must consider all possible paths not only on the space of dependent variables but also on the space of independent variables. In the view of the geometry, this consistency condition can be considered as a zero curvature condition and the multi-time evolution can be treated as a compatible parallel transport on flat space of time variables.

  The treatment of time in relativity does not conform to that in quantum theory. The role of $t$ is to quantify distances between events in space-time. The corresponding evolution equation attains the same symmetric form as that suggested by Stueckelberg in 1941.

• Watching the seeds of dynamical phase transitions: the complex-time survival amplitude [0.0]
  Dynamical phase transitions are defined through non-analyticities of the survival probability of an out-of-equilibrium time-evolving state at certain critical times. The complex zeros of this quantity near the time axis correspond, in the infinite-size limit, to non-analytical points where the survival probability abruptly vanishes. A detailed study of the behavior of the complex-time survival amplitude when the characteristics of the out-of-equilibrium protocol changes is presented.

We also discuss the question of switching between different internal times as well as the Montevideo interpretation of quantum theory.

  In the present work, we are concerned not with a single state but with a whole (possibly infinite-dimensional) subspace of the system states that are subject to the Schroedinger evolution. We derive an optimal estimate on the speed of such a subspace evolution that may be viewed as a natural generalization of the Fleming bound.

  We propose an interpretative framework for quantum mechanics corresponding to the specifications of Louis de Broglie's double-solution theory. The principle is to decompose the evolution of a quantum system into two wave functions. For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
