Title: |
A Discrete Machian Model: Fermions |
| Abstract: |
A new model of quantum gravity phenomenology is discussed. This ``discrete
Machian model" is based on two
assumptions (i) non-uniformities in the overall matter distribution affect
the inertial properties of particles and (ii)
spatial geometry is discrete and random. Using the framework of effective
field theory, the fermionic sector is
developed. The resulting theory contains Lorentz invariance violating terms
and the non-relativistic effects are explored.
