• Abstract: In a previous paper, we have shown that the classical and quantum relativistic dynamics of the Stueckelberg-Horwitz-Piron [SHP] theory can be embedded in general relativity (GR). We briefly review the SHP theory here, and, in particular, the formulation of the theory of spin in the framework of relativistic quantum theory. We show here how the quantum theory of relativistic spin can be embedded, using a theorem of Abraham, Marsden and Ratiu, and also explicit derivation, into the framework of GR by constructing a local induced representation. The relation to the work of Fock and Ivanenko is also discussed. We show that in a gravitational field there is s highly complex structure for the spin distribution in the support of the wave function. We then discuss entanglement for the spins of a two body system.

• Spin-bounded correlations: rotation boxes within and beyond quantum theory [0.0]
  We prove that quantum theory admits the most general rotational correlations for spins 0, 1/2, and 1. We also prove a metrological game where beyond-quantum resources of spin 3/2 outperform all quantum resources of the same spin. Results illuminate the question of how space constrains the structure of quantum theory.

We demonstrate that the essence of the principle of relativity can be naturally extended into the quantum realm, maintaining the identical structures of active and passive transformations.

• Quantum superposition of spacetimes obeys Einstein's Equivalence Principle [0.0]
  We argue that the Equivalence Principle can be generalised so that it holds for reference frames associated to quantum systems in a superposition of spacetimes. This procedure reconciles the principle of linear superposition in Quantum Theory with the principle of general covariance and the Equivalence Principle of General Relativity.

  Table-top experiments involving massive quantum systems have been proposed to test the interface of quantum theory and gravity. In particular, the crucial point of the debate is whether it is possible to conclude anything on the quantum nature of the gravitational field. We introduce the framework of Generalised Probabilistic Theories (GPTs) to study the nature of the gravitational field.

  We present a family of topological quantum gravity theories associated with the geometric theory of the Ricci flow. First, we use BRST quantization to construct a "primitive" topological Lifshitz-type theory for only the spatial metric. We extend the primitive theory by gauging foliation-preserving spacetime symmetries.
