Minkowski space is locally the Noldus limit of a Poisson process causet

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

A poisson process PλP_λ on Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} with causal structure inherited from the the usual Minkowski metric on Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} has a normalised discrete causal distance Dλ(x,y)D_λ(x,y) given by the height of the longest causal chain normalised by λ1/dcdλ^{1/d}c_{d}. We prove that PλP_λ restricted to a compact set QQ converges in probability in the sense of Noldus to QQ with the Minkowksi metric.
