Quantum Theory from Quantum Gravity
We provide a mechanism by which, from a background independent model with no quantum mechanics, quantum theory arises in the same limit in which spatial properties appear. Starting with an arbitrary abstract graph as the microscopic model of spacetime, our ansatz is that the microscopic dynamics can be chosen so that 1) the model has a low low energy limit which reproduces the non-relativistic ...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity as Topological Quantum Field Theory
The physics of quantum gravity is discussed within the framework of topological quantum field theory. Some of the principles are illustrated with examples taken from theories in which space-time is three dimensional.
متن کاملDISCRETE QUANTUM GRAVITY and QUANTUM FIELD THEORY
We introduce a discrete 4-dimensional module over the integers that appears to have maximal symmetry. By adjoining the usual Minkowski distance, we obtain a discrete 4-dimensional Minkowski space. Forming universe histories in this space and employing the standard causal order, the histories become causal sets. These causal sets increase in size rapidly and describe an inflationary period for t...
متن کاملPerturbative Quantum Gravity from Gauge Theory
In this talk we give an overview of some recent developments in gauge and gravity theories, focusing on a new duality between color and kinematics. This duality allows us to construct gravity amplitudes by a simple replacement of color factors by kinematic numerator factors. Applications of these ideas for determining the ultraviolet compatibility of supersymmetric versions of Einstein gravity ...
متن کاملFrom Classical Theory to Quantum Gravity
While it has been generally accepted for decades that general relativity and quantum theory are inconsistent, and that therefore general relativity must yield to a new theory of gravity compatible with quantum principles, the way to the new theory is still very unclear. A major obstacle is the lack of any experimental indicators as to where general relativity might break down. I speculate on th...
