Title: Bell's Theorem, Non-Computability and Conformal Cyclic Cosmology: A Top-Down Approach to Quantum Gravity
Authors: T.N. Palmer
Abstract summary: In IST, the fundamental laws of physics describe the geometry of the phase portrait of the universe as a whole. It becomes possible to explain the experimental violation of Bell Inequalities without having to abandon key ingredients of general relativity.

Abstract: This paper draws on a number of Roger Penrose's ideas - including the non-Hamiltonian phase-space flow of the Hawking Box, Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, non-computability and gravitationally induced quantum state reduction - in order to propose a radically unconventional approach to quantum gravity: Invariant Set Theory (IST). In IST, the fundamental laws of physics describe the geometry of the phase portrait of the universe as a whole: "quantum" process are associated with fine-scale fractal geometry, "gravitational" process with larger-scale heterogeneous geometry. With this, it becomes possible to explain the experimental violation of Bell Inequalities without having to abandon key ingredients of general relativity: determinism and local causality. Ensembles in IST can be described by complex Hilbert states over a finite set $\mathbb C_p$ of complex numbers, where $p$ is a large finite integer. The quantum mechanics of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces is emergent as a singular limit when $p \rightarrow \infty$. A small modification to the field equations of general relativity is proposed to make it consistent with IST.

Is Planckian discreteness observable in cosmology? [47.03992469282679]
A Planck scale inflationary era produces the scale invariant spectrum of inhomogeneities with very small tensor-to-scalar ratio of perturbations. Here we evoke the possibility that some of the major puzzles in cosmology would have an explanation rooted in quantum gravity.

Testing Quantum Gravity using Pulsed Optomechanical Systems [13.650870855008112]
We consider the Schr"odinger-Newton (SN) theory and the Correlated Worldline (CWL) theory, and show that they can be distinguished from conventional quantum mechanics. We find that discriminating between the theories will be very difficult until experimental control over low frequency quantum optomechanical systems is pushed further.

Does the Universe have its own mass? [62.997667081978825]
The mass of the universe is a distribution of non-zero values of gravitational constraints. A formulation of the Euclidean quantum theory of gravity is also proposed to determine the initial state. Being unrelated to ordinary matter, the distribution of its own mass affects the geometry of space.

We consider finite quantum theory (FQT) where states are elements of a space over a finite ring or field with characteristic $p$ and operators of physical quantities act in this space. We prove that, with the same approach to symmetry, FQT and finite mathematics are more general than standard quantum theory and classical mathematics.

Probing chiral edge dynamics and bulk topology of a synthetic Hall system [52.77024349608834]
Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
