Measure, Topology and Probabilistic Reasoning in Cosmology
@article{Curiel2014MeasureTA, title={Measure, Topology and Probabilistic Reasoning in Cosmology}, author={E. Curiel}, journal={arXiv: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology}, year={2014} }
I explain the difficulty of making various concepts of and relating
to probability precise, rigorous and physically significant when
attempting to apply them in reasoning about objects
(e.g., spacetimes) living in infinite-dimensional
spaces, working through many examples from cosmology. I focus on
the relation of topological to measure-theoretic notions of and
relating to probability, how they diverge in unpleasant ways in the
infinite-dimensional case, and are even difficult to… CONTINUE READING
