Emergence of a 4D world from causal quantum gravity.

چکیده
Causal Dynamical Triangulations in four dimensions provide a background-independent definition of the sum over geometries in nonperturbative quantum gravity, with a positive cosmological constant. We present evidence that a macroscopic four-dimensional world emerges from this theory dynamically.

A 2 D model of Causal Set Quantum Gravity : The emergence of the continuum
Non-perturbative theories of quantum gravity inevitably include configurations that fail to resemble physically reasonable spacetimes at large scales. Often, these configurations are entropically dominant and pose an obstacle to obtaining the desired classical limit. We examine this “entropy problem” in a model of causal set quantum gravity corresponding to a discretisation of 2D spacetimes. Us...

متن کاملBrane New World and dS/CFT correspondence
The occurence of 5d de Sitter space with 4d de Sitter brane is discussed on classical and quantum level. It is shown that quantum effects maybe produced by dual CFT living on the brane. Moreover, gravity trapping on the brane is proved via the presentation of 5d dS gravity as 4d gravity coupled with gauge theory. This supports the dS/CFT correspondence. Some open questions in 5d dS/4d CFT corre...
متن کاملEmergent Continuum Spacetime from a Random, Discrete, Partial Order
There are several indications (from different approaches) that Spacetime at the Plank Scale could be discrete. One approach to Quantum Gravity that takes this most seriously is the Causal Sets Approach. In this approach spacetime is fundamentally a discrete, random, partially ordered set (where the partial order is the causal relation). In this contribution, we examine how timelike and spacelik...
متن کاملNew directions in Background Independent Quantum Gravity
We discuss the meaning of background independence in quantum theories of gravity where geometry and gravity are emergent and illustrate the possibilities using the framework of quantum causal histories.
