Four Attitudes Towards Singularities in the Search for a Theory of Quantum Gravity

Karen Crowther, Sebastian De Haro

Singularities in general relativity and quantum field theory are often taken not only to motivate the search for a more-fundamental theory (quantum gravity, QG), but also to charac…

As Below, So Before: `Synchronic' and `Diachronic' Conceptions of Spacetime Emergence

Karen Crowther

Typically, a less fundamental theory, or structure, emerging from a more fundamental one is an example of synchronic emergence. A model (and the physical state it describes) emergi…

What we cannot learn from analogue experiments

Karen Crowther, Niels Linnemann, Christian Wuthrich

Analogue experiments have attracted interest for their potential to shed light on inaccessible domains. For instance, `dumb holes' in fluids and Bose-Einstein condensates, as analo…

Inter-theory Relations in Quantum Gravity: Correspondence, Reduction, and Emergence

Karen Crowther

Relationships between current theories, and relationships between current theories and the sought theory of quantum gravity (QG), play an essential role in motivating the need for…

Renormalizability, fundamentality and a final theory: The role of UV-completion in the search for quantum gravity

Karen Crowther, Niels Linnemann

Principles are central to physical reasoning, particularly in the search for a theory of quantum gravity (QG), where novel empirical data is lacking. One principle widely adopted i…

Appearing Out of Nowhere: The Emergence of Spacetime in Quantum Gravity

Karen Crowther

Quantum gravity is understood as a theory that, in some sense, unifies general relativity (GR) and quantum theory, and is supposed to replace GR at extremely small distances (high-…
