Description

In some theories of quantum gravity spacetime is assumed to have an underlying structure from which spacetimes arise as an approximation. In these theories it is important to show that the spacetime arising from the underlying structure is approximately isometric to General relativity spacetime in the classical limit. We will discuss how one can measure how close two spacetimes are from being isometric. The motivation for the discussed measure comes from causal set theory (an approach to quantum gravity).
