Description
Causal set theory is an approach to quantum gravity where the underlying spacetime is a locally finite poset. Glaser gave a formula for the causal set theory analogue of the d'Alembertian in general dimension (growing out of previous work of Sorkin, Benincasa and Dowker, and Dowker and Glaser). The formula contains rational coefficients. Who can resist trying to find something that these coefficients count -- not me! -- so I will tell you about such a something.
