Causal set theory is an approach to quantum gravity in which spacetime is fundamentally discrete at the Planck scale. In this theory, spacetime takes the form of a locally finite partial order, or "causal set". Understanding how macroscopic phenomena emerge from this microscopic discreteness is an important open problem that is being addressed in variety of ways in the research community.
In this talk, I will focus on the Classical Sequential Growth models - models of stochastic posets which give rise to some desirable macroscopic properties - and on their connection with Hopf algebras (based on recent work with Karen Yeats).
