Finitary, Causal and Quantal Vacuum Einstein Gravity
arXiv:gr-qc/0209048
Abstract
We continue recent work and formulate the gravitational vacuum Einstein equations over a locally finite spacetime by using the basic axiomatics, techniques, ideas and working philosophy of Abstract Differential Geometry. The whole construction is `fully covariant', `inherently quantum' (both expressions are analytically explained in the paper) and genuinely smooth background spacetime independent.
