This note emphasizes that only special solutions of the Friedmann equation are compatible with the results of the "Supernovae Cosmology Project" (SCP). The curvature parameter of these solutions equals +1 and there is a simple relation between the minimal Hubble parameter, the cosmological constant and the total mass

Results from the Lax-Phillips Scattering Theory are used to analyze quantum mechanical scattering systems, in particular to obtain spectral properties of their resonances which are defined to be the poles of the scattering matrix. For this approach the interplay between the positive energy projection and the Hardy-space projections is decisive. Among other things it turns out that the spectral properties of these poles can be described by the (discrete) eigenvalue spectrum of a so-called truncated evolution, whose eigenvectors can be considered as the Gamov vectors corresponding to these poles. Further an expansion theorem of the positive Hardy-space part of vectors $Sg$ ($S$ scattering operator) into a series of Gamov vectors is presented.
Lax-Phillips evolutions are described by two-space scattering systems. The canonical identification operator is characterized for Lax-Phillips evolutions, whose outgoing and incoming projections commute. In this case a (generalized) Lax-Phillips semigroup can be introduced and its spectral theory is considered. In the special case, originally considered by Lax and Phillips (where the outgoing and incoming subspaces are mutually orthogonal), this semigroup coincides with that introduced by Lax and Phillips. In the more general case the existence of the semigroup is not coupled with the (global) holomorphic continuability of the scattering matrix into the upper half plane. The basic connection of the Lax-Phillips semigroup to the so-called characteristic semigroup of the reference evolution is emphasized.
For systems which contain both superselection structure and constraints, we study compatibility between constraining and superselection. Specifically, we start with a generalisation of Doplicher-Roberts superselection theory to the case of nontrivial centre, and a set of Dirac quantum constraints and find conditions under which the superselection structures will survive constraining in some form. This involves an analysis of the restriction and factorisation of superselection structures. We develop an example for this theory, modelled on interacting QED.
In Rev. Math. Phys. 4 (1997) 785 we study Hilbert-C* systems {F,G} where the fixed point algebra A has nontrivial center Z and where A'\cap F=Z is satisfied. The corresponding category of all canonical endomorphisms of A contains characteristic mutually isomorphic subcategories of the Doplicher/Roberts-type which are connected with the choice of distinguished G-invariant algebraic Hilbert spaces within the corresponding G-invariant Hilbert Z-modules. We present in this paper the solution of the corresponding inverse problem. More precisely, assuming that the given endomorphism category T of a C*-algebra A with center Z contains a certain subcategory of the DR-type, a Hilbert extension {F,G} of A is constructed such that T is isomorphic to the category of all canonical endomorphisms of A w.r.t. {F,G} and A'\cap F=Z. Furthermore, there is a natural equivalence relation between admissible subcategories and it is shown that two admissible subcategories yield A-module isomorphic Hilbert extensions iff they are equivalent. The essential step of the solution is the application of the standard DR-theory to the assigned subcategory.
