Feb 1982. “Dear Colleague: It has come to my attention that J. Marsden and V. Moncrief have stated on various occasions that the article [1] contains an “error”, to which they have devoted considerable notice (cf. in particular [2]); but unfortunately neglected to mention that their reference is only to the utilization in the proof of one theorem of one more derivative than was explicitly assumed, which oversight is correctable by the insertion of three words and the deletion of a “+1”. 
I thank Professors Eardley and Moncrief for a copy of their work [2], which is devoted largely to showing that the conclusion of the theorem in question remains valid as stated, with one less derivative for the data than used in the proof given in [1]. This purely technical improvement, while playing no role in the larger context towards [1] was directed, can be readily achieved by a slight reformulation of the equations, which is incidental to [3]. Moreover the lengthy analysis of [2] makes material use of the Euclidean nature of the underlying space, while the formulation in [3] applies to general spaces.” Irving E. Segal

Sources for # 73. Draft, 11/30/79 – “General Varieties of Temporal Irreversibility” t, 15pp., unfinished, with A. Rechel-Cohn (Harvard University), not on the list. Abstract: Several partially new general varieties of temporal irreversibility are developed, exemplified, and related to entropy. These are related to the following physical constraints: (1) the classical character of the observables actually measured in an experimental probe of the state of a quantum system; (2) the local character of the observables actually measured in an experimental probe of a cosmological state; (3) positivity of the energy in a covariant quantum system. The quantum representation of phenomena such as white and black holes is brought into relationship with semigroups of isometries and their adjoints, and the entropy of localized states treated in this formalism. An extremely general notion of a uniform time scale associated with an evolving system and its entropy is proposed and partially validated. “Elementary Particles from a Mathematical Perspective” (late 70s, t, 14pp, unfinished, not on the list – incorporated into other publications; outline: I.

IES COMMENT ON “Second Reply to Referee’s Report” (related to “A Critique of Segal’s Chronometric Theory”. “…the reply is a literary snow job, to use the vernacular, of which the author (Laurence I. Wormald) himself appears to be the chief victim (a far from uncommon experience in attempted scientific literature). But when he comes to formulas he shows he understands nothing of recent developments regarding Maxwell’s equations, independently of the chronometric theory that he seems to think he is discussing… ” IES to Prof. Held (regarding the above): “…This young man is making a simple parody of science, and it is in the long term no favor to him, and surely no service to science, to permit his obstinacy to embellish the pages of GRG…” NSF proposal.
