Sumati Surya (Raman Research Institute, Bengalore)

In this talk I will sketch in broad lines a proposal for quantum space time, which is built purely on discrete, order theoretic principles. A key motivation is the Lorentzian character of spacetime, where the causal structure is a partially ordered set. The talk will be a basic introduction, with the aim of introducing the mathematicians in the audience to the fascinating world of discrete Lorentzian geometry.
