Empirical topology in the histories approach to quantum theory

Abstract

An idealized experiment estimating the spacetime topology is considered in both classical and quantum frameworks. The latter is described in terms of histories approach to quantum theory. A procedure creating combinatorial models of topology is suggested. The correspondence between these models and discretized spacetime models is established.
