A new procedure for coarse-graining dynamical triangulations is presented. The procedure provides a meaning for the relevant value of observables when "probing at large scales", e.g. the average scalar curvature. The scheme may also be…
The coarse-graining operation in hydrodynamics is equivalent to a change of scale which can be formalized as a renormalization group transformation. In particular, its application to the probability distribution of a self-gravitating fluid…

One of the reasons we expect a standard quantum mechanics, which predicts probabilities for alternatives defined on spacelike slices, to be inadequate for quantum gravity is that the notion of ``spacelike'' is ill-defined in a theory where…
