Bosonic Fields in Causal Set Theory

General Physics 2021-04-07 v3

Abstract

In this paper we will define a Lagrangian for scalar and gauge fields on causal sets, based on the selection of an Alexandrov set in which the variations of appropriate expressions in terms of either the scalar field or the gauge field holonomies around suitable loops take on the least value. For these fields, we will find that the values of the variations of these expressions define Lagrangians in covariant form.
