• Abstract: In a recent paper, the author introduced an operational description of physical theories where probabilities are replaced by counterfactual statements belonging to a three-valued (i.e. possibilistic) semantic domain. The complete axiomatic of these Generalized possibilistic Theories is generalized and clarified in the present paper. The problem of bipartite experiments is then addressed as the main skill of this paper. An axiomatic for the tensor product of our spaces of states is given and different solutions are explicitly constructed. This description of tensor products of Inf semi-lattices is partly independent from the usual mathematical description of this problem. The nature of the tensor product of orthocomplemented Inf semi-lattices is then also explored. This subject is indeed fundamental for the development of a reconstruction program for quantum theory within our framework. Our analysis constitutes a first step towards this achievement.

  We make a conceptual overview of an approach to the initial-value problem in canonical gauge theories. We stress how the first-class phase-space constraints may be relaxed if we interpret them as fixing the values of new degrees of freedom.

  Exchangeability is a fundamental concept in probability theory and statistics. We show how a de Finetti-like representation theorem for finitely exchangeable sequences requires a mathematical representation which is formally equivalent to quantum theory.

  A new approach to quantum theory is proposed in this paper. The accessible variables are just ideal observations connected to an observer or to some communicating observers. It is shown here that the groups and transformations needed in this approach can be constructed explicitly in the case where the accessible variables are finite-dimensional.

  It appears that for quantum theory to be viable in a realist sense, it must possess genuine, physical non-unitarity. Penrose's theory of gravitation-induced collapse and the Transactional Interpretation are discussed.

  We present a family of topological quantum gravity theories associated with the geometric theory of the Ricci flow. First, we use BRST quantization to construct a "primitive" topological Lifshitz-type theory for only the spatial metric. We extend the primitive theory by gauging foliation-preserving spacetime symmetries.

• Emergence of classical behavior in the early universe [68.8204255655161]
  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.

• On the complex behaviour of the density in composite quantum systems [62.997667081978825]
  We study how the probability of presence of a particle is distributed between the two parts of a composite fermionic system. We prove that it is a non-perturbative property and we find out a large/small coupling constant duality. Inspired by the proof of KAM theorem, we are able to deal with this problem by introducing a cut-off in energies that eliminates these small denominators.
