Quantum Theory, Gravity and Higher Order Geometry
Folkert Kuipers
The fact that quantum theory is non-differentiable, while general relativity is built on the assumption of differentiability sources an incompatibility between quantum theory and g…

Quantum Theory, Gravity and Second Order Geometry
Folkert Kuipers
We argue that a consistent coupling of a quantum theory to gravity requires an extension of ordinary `first order' Riemannian geometry to second order Riemannian geometry, which in…
