This dissertation is a collection of works on different aspects of the following subjects: causal set--continuum correspondence, wave propagation on causal sets, nonlocal quantum field theory, potential connection between ...
Cosmological Tests of Causal Set Phenomenology

Zwane, Nosiphiwo Tivelele (University of Waterloo, 2017-09-20)

Causal Set Theory is an approach to Quantum Gravity that postulates that the fundamental structure of a spacetime manifold is a Lorentz Invariant discrete structure endowed with a causal order from which the geometry and ...
Entanglement Entropy of Scalar Fields in Causal Set Theory

Kouchekzadeh Yazdi, Yasaman (University of Waterloo, 2017-08-15)

Entanglement entropy is now widely accepted as having deep connections with quantum gravity. It is therefore desirable to understand it in the context of causal sets, especially since they provide the UV cutoff needed to ...
