Space, time and matter in the theory of causal fermion systems

The theory of causal fermion systems is a recent approach to describe fundamental physics. Giving quantum mechanics, general relativity and quantum field theory as limiting cases, it is a candidate for a unified physical theory. The dynamics is described by a novel variational principle, the so-called causal action principle. From the mathematical perspective, causal fermion systems provide a general framework for desribing and analyzing non-smooth geometries.

In the talk I will explain how space, time and matter arise in a causal fermion system and how these notions are interrelated.
