Recovering General Relativity from a Planck scale discrete theory of quantum gravity Dowker, Fay
Description
I will present an argument that if a theory of quantum gravity is physically discrete at the Planck scale and the theory recovers General Relativity as an approximation, then, at the current stage of our knowledge, causal sets must arise within the theory, even if they are not its basis.
