The Autodidactic Universe
Stephon Alexander, William J. Cunningham, Jaron Lanier +4
We present an approach to cosmology in which the Universe learns its own physical laws. It does so by exploring a landscape of possible laws, which we express as a certain class of…
Ollivier-Ricci curvature convergence in random geometric graphs
Pim van der Hoorn, William J. Cunningham, Gabor Lippner +2
Connections between continuous and discrete worlds tend to be elusive. One example is curvature. Even though there exist numerous nonequivalent definitions of graph curvature, none…
Tensor network renormalization with fusion charges: applications to 3d lattice gauge theory
William J. Cunningham, Bianca Dittrich, Sebastian Steinhaus
Tensor network methods are powerful and efficient tools to study the properties and dynamics of statistical and quantum systems, in particular in one and two dimensions. In recent…
Dimensionally Restricted Causal Set Quantum Gravity: Examples in Two and Three Dimensions
William J. Cunningham, Sumati Surya
We study dimensionally restricted non-perturbative causal set quantum dynamics in and spacetime dimensions with non-trivial global spatial topology. The causal set sample s…
High Performance Algorithms for Quantum Gravity and Cosmology
William J. Cunningham
Large scale numerical experiments are commonplace today in theoretical physics. The high performance algorithms described herein are the most compact, efficient methods known for r…
Vacuum Selection from Cosmology on Networks of String Geometries
Jonathan Carifio, William J. Cunningham, James Halverson +3
We introduce network science as a framework for studying the string landscape. Two large networks of string geometries are constructed, where nodes are extra-dimensional six-manifo…
