The quantum logic of causal sets
The causal structure of space-time offers a natural notion of an opposite or orthogonal in the logical sense, where the opposite of a set is formed by all points non time-like related with it. We show that for a general space-time the algebra of subsets that arises from this negation operation is a complete orthomodular lattice. We think this fact could be used to investigate causal structure i...
متن کاملCausal Sets: Discrete Gravity
It seems fair to say that causal set theory has reached a stage in which questions of phenomenology are beginning to be addressed meaningfully. This welcome development is due on one hand to improved astronomical observations which shed light on the magnitude of the cosmological constant (in apparent confirmation of a long-standing prediction of the theory) and on the other hand to theoretical ...
متن کاملFree Fermions on causal sets
We construct a Dirac theory on causal sets; a key element in the construction being that the causet must be regarded as emergent in an appropriate sense too. We further notice that mixed norm spaces appear in the construction allowing for negative norm particles and “ghosts”. This work extends the theory initiated in [1, 2]
متن کامل5 Universal homogeneous causal sets
Causal sets are particular partially ordered sets which have been proposed as a basic model for discrete space-time in quantum gravity. We show that the class C of all countable past-finite causal sets contains a unique causal set (U,≤) which is universal (i.e., any member of C can be embedded into (U,≤)) and homogeneous (i.e., (U,≤) has maximal degree of symmetry). Moreover, (U,≤) can be const...
متن کاملThe Structure of Causal Sets
More often than not, recently popular structuralist interpretations of physical theories leave the central concept of a structure insufficiently precisified. The incipient causal sets approach to quantum gravity offers a paradigmatic case of a physical theory predestined to be interpreted in structuralist terms. It is shown how employing structuralism lends itself to a natural interpretation of...
