Emergence and Phenomenology in Quantum Gravity
(University of Waterloo, 2010-07-09)In this thesis we investigate two approaches to quantum gravity. The first is the emergence of gravity from a discrete fundamental theory, and the second is the direct quantisation of gravity. For the first we develop tools ... -
Emergent Fields, Flat Bands and Phase Competition: A Study in Magnetic Pyrochlore Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-18)We investigate spins models on the pyrochlore and the breathing pyrochlore lattice. Specifically, we study polarized neutron scattering in classical spin ice modelled via Ising spins with anti-ferromagnetic interactions. ...
