Abstract: This paper studies the distribution of chain and maximal chain lengths in a causal set. We first provide a new derivation for these distributions for a causal set uniformly embedded in Minkowski space, for various… read more here.

Abstract: A precise definition of a black hole has long been absent in causal set theory. I first show that the local finiteness of the theory cannot be interpreted as a complete discretization condition, and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6382/ac5922
Abstract: We present a new method for embedding a causal set into an interval of Minkowski spacetime. The method uses spacetime volumes for causally related elements to define causal set analogs of Minkowski inner products. These… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.111.106020
Abstract: We present a new method for embedding a causal set into Minkowski spacetime. The method is similar to a previously presented method, but is simpler and provides better embedding results. The method uses spacetime volumes… read more here.
