Causal evolution of spin networks
A new approach to quantum gravity is described which joins the loop representation formulation of the canonical theory to the causal set formulation of the path integral. The theory assigns quantum amplitudes to special classes of causal sets, which consist of spin networks representing quantum states of the gravitational field joined together by labeled null edges. The theory exists in 3+1, 2+...
متن کاملSuperluminal but Causal Wave Propagation
A series of experiments in recent years have shown that under carefully designed circumstances the group velocity, or even more surprisingly the energy velocity can exceed the speed of light in vacuum or become negative (abnormal velocities). These abnormal results have led some researchers to question the validity of special relativity, or at least cast doubt on the relevance of these principl...
متن کاملCausal Propagation Semantics - A Study
A unifying semantic framework for different reasoning approaches provides an ideal tool to compare these competing alternatives. A historic example is Kripke’s possible world semantics that provided a unifying framework for different systems of modal logic. More recently, Shoham’s work on preferential semantics similarly provided a much needed framework to uniformly represent and compare a vari...
متن کاملOn the Causal Propagation of Fields
By using geometric methods and superenergy tensors, we find new simple criteria for the causal propagation of physical fields in spacetimes of any dimension. The method can be applied easily to many different theories and to arbitrary fields (such as scalar or electromagnetic ones). In particular, it provides a conservation theorem of the free gravitational field in all N -dimensional spacetime...
متن کاملSignaling Cascades Modulate the Speed of Signal Propagation through Space
BACKGROUND Cells are not mixed bags of signaling molecules. As a consequence, signals must travel from their origin to distal locations. Much is understood about the purely diffusive propagation of signals through space. Many signals, however, propagate via signaling cascades. Here, we show that, depending on their kinetics, cascades speed up or slow down the propagation of signals through spac...
