Self-organized criticality in quantum gravity
Mohammad H. Ansari, Lee Smolin
We study a simple model of spin network evolution motivated by the hypothesis that the emergence of classical space-time from a discrete microscopic dynamics may be a self-organize…
Gauge fixing in Causal Dynamical Triangulations
Fotini Markopoulou, Lee Smolin
We relax the definition of the Ambjorn-Loll causal dynamical triangulation model in 1+1 dimensions to allow for a varying lapse. We show that, as long as the spatially averaged lap…
Symmetry and entropy of black hole horizons
Olaf Dreyer, Fotini Markopoulou, Lee Smolin
We argue, using methods taken from the theory of noiseless subsystems in quantum information theory, that the quantum states associated with a Schwarzchild black hole live in the r…
Scientific alternatives to the anthropic principle
Lee Smolin
It is explained in detail why the Anthropic Principle (AP) cannot yield any falsifiable predictions, and therefore cannot be a part of science. Cases which have been claimed as suc…
Triply Special Relativity
J. Kowalski-Glikman, Lee Smolin
We describe an extension of special relativity characterized by {\it three} invariant scales, the speed of light, , a mass, and a length . This is defined by a non-linear…
String theories with deformed energy momentum relations, and a possible non-tachyonic bosonic string
Joao Magueijo, Lee Smolin
We consider a prescription for introducing deformed dispersion relations in the bosonic string action. We find that in a subset of such theories it remains true that the embedding…
