![Page 2: The causal matrix model Willem Westra and Stefan Zohren Leipzig 01 04 2008](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020102/56649d4f5503460f94a2eac7/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What and Why?
Two dimensional quantum gravity
Non critical (bosonic) string theory = Strings living in target space with D≠26
Toy model for 4d quantum gravity
![Page 3: The causal matrix model Willem Westra and Stefan Zohren Leipzig 01 04 2008](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020102/56649d4f5503460f94a2eac7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Two different theories??
Euclidean 2D quantum gravity
Causal2D quantum gravity
Worldsheet definition of (non critical) string theory
Toy model for 4d causal quantum gravity

The big stuff: Gravity
Einstein’s theory of general relativity, 1918
![Page 7: The causal matrix model Willem Westra and Stefan Zohren Leipzig 01 04 2008](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020102/56649d4f5503460f94a2eac7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Gravity: curvature of space-time Matter curves space-time Curved space-time tells matter how to
move
QuickTime™ and a decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Gravity = Geometry

The small: Quantum mechanics
Schrödinger’s equation, 1927

Quantum Mechanics Everything that can happen...
does happen
What we see is the stuff that is
most probable to happen
![Page 12: The causal matrix model Willem Westra and Stefan Zohren Leipzig 01 04 2008](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020102/56649d4f5503460f94a2eac7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
big + small
gravity + quantum
curved space-time + probability
![Page 13: The causal matrix model Willem Westra and Stefan Zohren Leipzig 01 04 2008](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020102/56649d4f5503460f94a2eac7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Curved space + quantum Task: count all possible curved space-times Compute the most probable ones
Solution: build space time from little “Lego blocks”
Count the number of ways the Lego blocks can be put together
![Page 14: The causal matrix model Willem Westra and Stefan Zohren Leipzig 01 04 2008](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020102/56649d4f5503460f94a2eac7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1+1 dimensional space times One dimension of space One dimension of time Simplest Lego blocks: triangles
Task: count the number of ways one can glue triangles together
