Abstract: We will first define what is meant by ``hidden variables". Then, we will review various theorems proving the impossibility of theories introducing such variables and then show that the de Broglie-Bohm theory is not refuted by those theorems. We will also explain the relation between those theorems and nonlocality, with or without introducing Bell's inequalities.

We will discuss here the Bell theorem, which shows that "locality" and "reality" are together inconsistent with quantum theory. The Bell theorem shows that "locality" and "reality" are together inconsistent with quantum theory.

Another quantum version of Sanov theorem [53.64687146666141]
We study how to extend Sanov theorem to the quantum setting. We propose another quantum version of Sanov theorem by considering the quantum analog of the empirical distribution.

Machine Learning of the Prime Distribution [49.84018914962972]
We provide a theoretical argument explaining the experimental observations of Yang-Hui He about the learnability of primes. We also posit that the ErdHos-Kac law would very unlikely be discovered by current machine learning techniques.

An influential theorem by Satosi Watanabe convinced many that there can be no physical probabilistic theory with both non-trivial forward and backward transition probabilities. We show that this conclusion does not follow from the theorem.

Connecting classical finite exchangeability to quantum theory [69.62715388742298]
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.

On the Categoricity of Quantum Mechanics [0.0]
The paper offers an argument against an intuitive reading of the Stone-von Neumann theorem as a categoricity result. It argues that, against what is usually taken to be the case, this theorem does not entail any model-theoretical difference between the theories that validate it and those that don't.

Reassessing the strength of a class of Wigner's friend no-go theorems [0.0]
Two recent theorems try to impose novel, non-trivial constraints on the possible nature of physical reality. I conduct a thorough analysis of these theorems and show that they suffer from a list of shortcomings that question their validity and limit their strength. I conclude that the "no-go theorem for observer-independent facts" and the "Local Friendliness no-go theorem" fail to impose significant constraints on the nature of physical reality.

We prove that either quantum theory cannot be universally applied, even to macroscopic systems. We give a concise description of the paper's result, and expose a detail in the proof.

Topological Quantum Gravity of the Ricci Flow [62.997667081978825]
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.

Bell's theorem for trajectories [62.997667081978825]
A trajectory is not an outcome of a quantum measurement, in the sense that there is no observable associated with it. We show how to overcome this problem by considering a special case of our generic inequality that can be experimentally tested point-by-point in time.
