We review several no-go theorems attributed to Gisin and Hardy, Conway and Kochen purporting the impossibility of Lorentz-invariant deterministic hidden-variable model for explaining quantum nonlocality. Those theorems claim that the only known solution to escape the conclusions is either to accept a preferred reference frame or to abandon the hidden-variable program altogether. Here we present a different alternative based on a foliation dependent framework adapted to deterministic hidden…

TLDR
It is demonstrated that the contradiction, which arises in the gedanken experiment and forms the basis of Hardy's proof, has nothing to do with realism, but is a consequence of the well-known noncovariance of the reduction postulate.
Nonlocality, Lorentz invariance, and Bohmian quantum theory.
TLDR
A model invariant under a certain limit of Lorentz transformations, a limit retaining the characteristic feature of relativity, the nonexistence of absolute time, i.e., of simultaneity is presented.

What Does the Free Will Theorem Actually Prove
Conway and Kochen have presented a "free will theorem" (Notices of the AMS 56, pgs. 226-232 (2009)) which they claim shows that "if indeed we humans have free will, then [so do] elementary…
A non-local, Lorentz-invariant, hidden-variable interpretation of relativistic quantum mechanics based on particle trajectories
We demonstrate how to construct a Lorentz-invariant, hidden-variable interpretation of relativistic quantum mechanics based on particle trajectories. The covariant theory that we propose employs a…
Comment on “The Free Will Theorem”
In a recent paper Conway and Kochen, Found. Phys. 36, 2006, claim to have established that theories of the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber (RW) type, i.e., of spontaneous wave function collapse, cannot be made…
Opposite arrows of time can reconcile relativity and nonlocality
We present a quantum model for the motion of N point particles, implying nonlocal (i.e., superluminal) influences of external fields on the trajectories, that is nonetheless fully relativistic. In…
Relativistic Quantum Mechanics through Frame‐Dependent Constructions
This paper is concerned with the possibility and nature of relativistic hidden‐variable formulations of quantum mechanics. Both ad hoc teleological constructions and frame‐dependent constructions of…
