因果集:来自基本离散时空的量子引力

Causal Sets: Quantum gravity from a fundamentally discrete spacetime

Petros Wallden

摘要:

为了构建引力的量子理论,我们可能不得不放弃我们所做的某些假设。特别是,时空作为连续体底层的概念受到质疑。因果集是一个试图从基本离散的时空开始构建引力的量子理论的尝试。在这方面的贡献,我们回顾了整个方法,专注于一些最近的事态发展的运动学和动力学的方法。

英文摘要:

In order to construct a quantum theory of gravity, we may have to abandon certain assumptions we were making. In particular, the concept of spacetime as a continuum substratum is questioned. Causal Sets is an attempt to construct a quantum theory of gravity starting with a fundamentally discrete spacetime. In this contribution we review the whole approach, focusing on some recent developments in the kinematics and dynamics of the approach.
