The modal-Hamiltonian interpretation and the Galilean covariance of quantum mechanics
The aim of this paper is to analyze the modal-Hamiltonian interpretation of quantum mechanics in the light of the Galilean group. In particular, it is shown that the rule of definite-value assignment proposed by that interpretation has the same properties of Galilean covariance and invariance as the...
