Umbral Deformations on Discrete Spacetime
Given a minimum measurable length underlying spacetime, the latter may be effectively regarded as discrete, at scales of order the Planck length. A systematic discretization of continuum physics may be effected most efficiently through the umbral deformation. General functionals yielding such deformations at the level of solutions are furnished and illustrated, and broad features of discrete os...
متن کاملParticle propagators on discrete spacetime
A quantum mechanical description of particle propagation on the discrete spacetime of a causal set is presented. The model involves a discrete path integral in which trajectories within the causal set are summed over to obtain a particle propagator. The sum-over-trajectories is achieved by a matrix geometric series. For causal sets generated by sprinkling points into 1+1 and 3+1 dimensional Min...
متن کاملSpacetime Deformations and Electromagnetism in Material Media
This paper is intended to investigate the relation between electrodynamics in anisotropic material media and its analogous formulation in an spacetime, with non-null Riemann curvature tensor. After discussing the electromagnetism via chiral differential forms, we point out the optical activity of a given material medium, closely related to topological spin, and the Faraday rotation, associated ...
متن کاملExample-Driven Deformations Based on Discrete Shells
Despite the huge progress made in interactive physics-based mesh deformation, manipulating a geometrically complex mesh or posing a detailed character is still a tedious and time-consuming task. Example-driven methods significantly simplify the modeling process by incorporating structural or anatomical knowledge learned from example poses. However, these approaches yield counter-intuitive, non-...
متن کاملDark Energy from Discrete Spacetime
Dark energy accounts for most of the matter-energy content of our universe, yet current theories of its origin rely on radical physical assumptions such as the holographic principle or controversial anthropic arguments. We give a better motivated explanation for dark energy, claiming that it arises from a small negative scalar-curvature present even in empty spacetime. The vacuum has this curva...
