Journal ArticleDOI
On the Consistent Histories Approach to Quantum Mechanics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the consistent histories formulations of quantum mechanics developed by Griffiths, Omnes and Gell-Mann and Hartle, and describe the c of consistent sets.

TL;DR: It appears that fundamental fermions can eliminate the bubble decay of the magnetic field, while allowing the pair produciton of Kaluza-Klein monopoles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum gravity phenomenology, lorentz invariance and discreteness
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a causal set's discreteness is locally Lorentz invariant, contrary to what is often stated, a fundamental spacetime discreteness need not contradict Lorentzi invariance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pair creation of extremal black holes and Kaluza-Klein monopoles.

TL;DR: The extremal limit of classical solutions describing charged dilaton black holes accelerating in a background magnetic field is studied, showing that near the event horizon the extremal solutions reduce precisely to the static extremal black hole solutions.
Book ChapterDOI
Causal sets and the deep structure of spacetime
TL;DR: In this article, the causal set approach to quantum gravity embodies the concepts of causality and discreteness, and it explores some foundational and conceptual issues within causal set theory. But it does not consider the relationship between quantum gravity and causal sets.
