Static Isotropic Spacetimes with Radially Imperfect Fluids
Tomasz Konopka
When solving the equations of General Relativity in a symmetric sector, it is natural to consider the same symmetry for the geometry and stress-energy. This implies that for static…
Quantum vacuum effects from boundaries of designer potentials
Tomasz Konopka
Vacuum energy in quantum field theory, being the sum of zero-point energies of all field modes, is formally infinite but yet, after regularization or renormalization, can give rise…
Matter in Toy Dynamical Geometries
Tomasz Konopka
One of the objectives of theories describing quantum dynamical geometry is to compute expectation values of geometrical observables. The results of such computations can be affecte…
Statistical Mechanics of Graphity Models
Tomasz Konopka
Graphity models are characterized by configuration spaces in which states correspond to graphs and Hamiltonians that depend on local properties of graphs such as the degrees of ver…
Quantum Graphity: a model of emergent locality
Tomasz Konopka, Fotini Markopoulou, Simone Severini
Quantum graphity is a background independent model for emergent locality, spatial geometry and matter. The states of the system correspond to dynamical graphs on N vertices. At hig…
Quantum Graphity
Tomasz Konopka, Fotini Markopoulou, Lee Smolin
We introduce a new model of background independent physics in which the degrees of freedom live on a complete graph and the physics is invariant under the permutations of all the p…
