Claudio Paganini (Regensburg): The Causal Compatibility Conjecture and its Implication on Time Travel

Dienstag, 05. September 2023 14:00

Ort: Seminarraum A, Währinger Str. 17, 2. Stock

I will give an introduction to Fröhlich's Events, Trees, Histories (ETH) approach to quantum theory. I will then introduce the causal compatibility conjecture. Applying it to spacetimes with closed causal curves we find that time travel is boring. Finally I will introduce the open problem in mathematical relativity underlying the causal compatibility conjecture.
