Abstract

In the framework of Mackey's description of a physical system, thegeneralized transition probability, as defined in an earlier paper, is shown to be non-decreasing while the system evolves, and invariant when the evolution is reversible. It is also in variant under a natural action of the space-time symmetry group.
