Professor of Theoretical Physics. Contact. Assistant. Location. Summary. In our struggle to understand the physical world, certain dichotomies have been thematic foci of that struggle from ancient times: Atomicity versus Continuity, Being versus Becoming, Locality versus Global-ness, Order versus Chaos, Objectivity versus Subjectivity.
2 giorni fa · Dowker F, 2021, Boundary contributions in the causal set action, Classical and Quantum Gravity, Vol: 38, ISSN: 0264-9381 Evidence is provided for a conjecture that, in the continuum limit, the mean of the causal set action of a causal set sprinkled into a globally hyperbolic Lorentzian spacetime, M, of finite volume equals the Einstein Hilbert action of M plus the volume of the co-dimension 2 ...

Prof Fay Dowker. Faculty of Natural Sciences , Department of Physics. Professor of Theoretical Physics. Contact. Assistant. Location. Summary. A trio of dichotomies, Atomicity versus Continuity, Locality versus Global-ness and, Being versus Becoming, are persistent themes in our struggle to understand the physical world.
20 ott 2021 · 20 October 2021. For the first of the interviews in our series, we spoke to Professor Fay Dowker, who is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Department. As a little introduction, what area of Physics do you specialize in? I work on quantum gravity which is a name we give to a “problem” rather than a “theory”.
