Indeed, in adequate conditions, a minor action may give origin to a very large reaction, only apparently providing a gain in output power from a lesser inputted value. Extending de Broglie seminal ideas to a more general pilot-wave theory, we describe the relation between nonlinearity and energy conservation, dismissing any apparent contradiction between the two. We also present what seems to be a possible way to harness energy from the pervading subquantum medium.","PeriodicalId":49658,"journal":{"name":"Progress of Theoretical Physics","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75329232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What Einstein subsequently dubbed as the ‘biggest blunder’ of his life (after Hubble’s discovery of the expanding universe) has come back in vogue in cosmology. Here we look at the evolution of the concept of the cosmological constant from its inception to it possibly making up close to about 70% of the energy density of the universe.","PeriodicalId":49658,"journal":{"name":"Progress of Theoretical Physics","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79399581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If $xi_{A-B}$ and $xi_D$ are the respective $U(1)$-bundles, we show that $xi_{A-B}$ is isomorphic to the pull-back of $xi_D$ induced by the inclusion of the corresponding base spaces $iota:(D_0^2)^*to S^2$}. The fact that the $A-B$ effect disappears when the magnetic flux in the solenoid equals an integer times the quantum of flux $Phi_0={{2pi}over{vert evert}}$ associated with the electric charge $vert evert$, reflects here as a consequence of the pull-back by $iota$ of the Dirac connection in $xi_D$ to $xi_{A-B}$, and the Dirac quantization condition.
