Deriving general relativity from considerations on quantum information

TL;DR

This paper derives general relativity from a quantum information framework called Protyposis, using group theory to develop a cosmological model that addresses dark energy and inhomogeneities.

Contribution

It introduces Protyposis, an abstract quantum information concept, and shows how general relativity can be deduced from it through group-theoretical methods.

Findings

A cosmological model with isotropic, homogeneous metric is derived.

The model explains dark energy through energy conditions.

General relativity emerges as a description of local inhomogeneities.

Abstract

From a theory of an abstract quantum information the theory of general relativity can be deduced by means of few and physically good founded reasons. "Abstract" quantum information means that primarily no special meaning is connected with it. Therefore it is named with a new denotation: Protyposis. From the Protyposis and by using group-theoretical methods follows a cosmological model, which has an isotropic and homogeneous metric and solves the so-called cosmological problems. The Protyposis is subject to an equation of states for energy density and pressure that fulfils all the energy conditions and that also gives an explanation for the "dark energy". If it is demanded that the relations between spacetime structure and the material content should remain valid for variations from this ideal cosmology, then general relativity results from this quantum theoretical considerations as a description for local inhomogenities.
