Minimal Length Scale Scenarios for Quantum Gravity
We review the question of whether the fundamental laws of nature limit our ability to probe arbitrarily short distances. First, we examine what insights can be gained from thought experiments for probes of shortest distances, and summarize what can be learned from different approaches to a theory of quantum gravity. Then we discuss some models that have been developed to implement a minimal len...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity with Minimal Assumptions
Several basic results are reviewed on purpose to construct the quantum field theory including gravity, based on physical assumptions as few as possible. Up to now, the work by Steven Weinberg probably suits this purpose the most. Motivated by these results we focus on the fact that the dimension of an operator is not unique unless the operand is identified. This leads to the classification of p...
متن کاملMinisuperspace Model for Revised Canonical Quantum Gravity
We present a reformulation of the canonical quantization of gravity, as referred to the minisuperspace; the new approach is based on fixing a Gaussian (or synchronous) reference frame and then quantizing the system via the reconstruction of a suitable constraint; then the quantum dynamics is re-stated in a generic coordinates system and it becomes dependent on the lapse function. The analysis f...
متن کاملAnalogue model for quantum gravity phenomenology
So called “analogue models” use condensed matter systems (typically hydrodynamic) to set up an “effective metric” and to model curved-space quantum field theory in a physical system where all the microscopic degrees of freedom are well understood. Known analogue models typically lead to massless minimally coupled scalar fields. We present an extended “analogue space-time” programme by investiga...
متن کاملA surface theoretic model of quantum gravity
A surface theoretic view of non-perturbative quantum gravity as “spinfoams” was discussed by Baez. A possibility of constructing such a model was studied some time ago based on (2+1) dimensional general relativity as a reformulation of the Ponzano-Regge model in Riemannian spacetime. In the present work, a model based on (3+1) dimensional general relativity in Riemannian spacetime is presented....
