Holography and Emergence
holography quantum gravity philosophy of duality theoretical equivalence AdS/CFT gauge theory
2016/6/15
In this paper, I discuss one form of the idea that spacetime and gravity might ‘emerge’ from quantum theory, i.e. via a holographic duality, and in particular via AdS/CFT duality. I begin by giving a ...
Disappearance and emergence of space and time in quantum gravity
quantum gravity foundations of spacetime theories emergent spacetime condensed matter cosmology
2016/6/15
We discuss the hints for the disappearance of continuum space and time at microscopic scale. These include arguments for a discrete nature of them or for a fundamental non-locality, in a quantum theor...
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Quantum Systems:Emergence or Reduction?
Emergence More is Different Symmetry Breaking Earman's Principle
2016/6/14
Beginning with Anderson (1972), spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in infinite quantum systems is often put forward as an example of (asymptotic) emergence in physics, since in theory no finite syste...
The emergence of spacetime in quantum theories of gravity
spacetime quantum gravity emergence
2016/6/13
This is the introduction to the special issue of Studies in the History and Philosophy of Modern Physics on the emergence of spacetime in quantum theories of spacetime.
Quantum mechanics,strong emergence and ontological non-reducibility
Interpretation of quantum mechanics emergence downward causation
2016/6/13
We show that a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, in which the notion of event is defined without reference to measurement or observers, allows to construct a quantum ontology based on systems, ...
Collision of Traditions.The Emergence of Logical Empiricism Between the Riemannian and Helmholtzian Traditions
Bernhard Riemann Hermann von Helmholtz Logical Empiricis Philosophical Interpretations of the Theory of Relativity Epistemology of Geometry
2016/6/13
This paper attempts to explain the emergence of the logical empiricist philosophy of space and time as a collision of mathematical traditions.The historical development of the ``Riemannian'' and ``Hel...
Reduction,Emergence and Renormalization
Ernest Nagel reduction emergence quantum field theory renormalization Dyson’s criterion renormalization group
2016/6/12
In previous work, I described several examples combining reduction and emergence: where reduction is understood a la Ernest Nagel, and emergence is understood as behaviour or properties that are novel...
Many discussions of emergence focus on the putatively irreducible causal powers of emergents. I argue that the question of whether emergents are irreducible causes should be postponed in favor of the ...
A dilemma for the emergence of spacetime in canonical quantum gravity
spacetime emergence quantum geometrodynamics loop quantum gravity quantum superposition quantum entanglement non-separability structural realism local beables
2016/5/30
The procedures of canonical quantization of the gravitational field apparently lead to entities for which any interpretation in terms of spatio-temporal localization or spatio-temporal extension seems...
Emergence in Effective Field Theories
emergence effective field theory quantum field theory
2016/5/27
This essay considers the extent to which a concept of emergence can be associated with Effective Field Theories (EFTs). I suggest that such a concept can be characterized by microphysicalism and novel...
Recent work by Robert Batterman and Alexander Rueger has brought attention to cases in physics in which governing laws at the base level “break down” and singular limit relations obtain between base- ...
Emergence, Singularities, and Symmetry Breaking
Emergence Symmetry Breaking Renormalization Group Condensed Matter Explanation
2009/11/18
This paper looks at emergence in physical theories and argues that an appropriate way to understand so-called ``emergent protectorates'' is via the explanatory apparatus of the renormalization group. ...
This paper begins by tracing interest in emergence in physics to the work of condensed matter physicist Philip Anderson. It provides a selective introduction to contemporary philosophical approaches t...
On the Emergence of Time in Quantum Gravity
quantum gravity emergence quantum geometrodynamics
2008/4/22
We discuss from a philosophical perspective the way in
which the normal concept of time might be said to `emerge'
in a quantum theory of gravity. After an introduction, we
briefly discuss the notio...
On the problem of emergence of classical space-time: The quantum-mechanical approach
Emergence generalized functions Hilbert space
2008/4/22
The classical space-time structure is derived from the structure of an abstract infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space S. For this S is first realized as a Hilbert space H* of functions of abstr...
