Abstract
This paper discusses some fundamental questions pertaining to the wave function description of multiparticle systems in quantum mechanics. Motivated by results from the study of diffeomorphism group representations, I outline a point of view addressing subtle issues often overlooked in standard, “textbook” answers to these questions.
Dedicated in memory of Professor Gérard G. Emch, an inspiration, a mentor, and a friend
