Non-Commutative Topology for Curved Quantum Causality

A quantum causal topology is presented. This is modeled after a non-commutative scheme type of theory for the curved finitary spacetime sheaves of the non-abelian incidence Rota algebras that represent gravitational quantum causal sets'. The finitary spacetime primitive algebra scheme structures for quantum causal sets proposed here are interpreted as the kinematics of a curved and reticular local quantum causality. Dynamics for quantum causal sets is then represented by appropriate scheme morphisms, thus it has a purely categorical description that is manifestly gauge-independent’. Hence, a schematic version of the Principle of General Covariance of General Relativity is formulated for the dynamically variable quantum causal sets. We compare our non-commutative scheme-theoretic curved quantum causal topology with some recent $C^{\ast }$-quantale models for non-abelian generalizations of classical commutative topological spaces or locales, as well as with some relevant recent results obtained from applying sheaf and topos-theoretic ideas to quantum logic proper. Motivated by the latter, we organize our finitary spacetime primitive algebra schemes of curved quantum causal sets into a topos-like structure, coined quantum topos', and argue that it is a sound model of a structure that Selesnick has anticipated to underlie Finkelstein's reticular and curved quantum causal net. At the end we conjecture that the fundamental quantum time-asymmetry that Penrose has expected to be the main characteristic of the elusive true quantum gravity’ is possibly of a kinematical or structural rather than of a dynamical character, and we also discuss the possibility of a unified description of quantum logic and quantum gravity in quantum topos-theoretic terms.
