Quantum gravity with a positive cosmological constant
A quantum theory of gravity is described in the case of a positive cosmological constant in 3 + 1 dimensions. Both old and new results are described, which support the case that loop quantum gravity provides a satisfactory quantum theory of gravity. These include the existence of a ground state, discoverd by Kodama, which both is an exact solution to the constraints of quantum gravity and has a...
متن کاملRole of a "local" cosmological constant in Euclidean quantum gravity.
In 4D non-perturbative Regge calculus a positive value of the effective cosmological constant characterizes the collapsed phase of the system. If a local term of the form S′ =
متن کاملQuantum Theory, Noncommutative Gravity, and the Cosmological Constant Problem
The cosmological constant problem is principally concerned with trying to understand how the zeropoint energy of quantum fields contributes to gravity. Here we take the approach that by addressing a fundamental unresolved issue in quantum theory we can gain a better understanding of the problem. Our starting point is the observation that the notion of classical time is external to quantum mecha...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity Solution To The Cosmological Constant Problem
Abstract A nonlocal quantum gravity theory is presented which is finite and unitary to all orders of perturbation theory. Vertex form factors in Feynman diagrams involving gravitons suppress graviton and matter vacuum fluctuation loops by introducing a low-energy gravitational scale, ΛGvac < 2.4×10 eV. Gravitons coupled to non-vacuum matter loops and matter tree graphs are controlled by a verte...

A nonlocal quantum gravity theory is presented which is finite and unitary to all orders of perturbation theory. Vertex form factors in Feynman diagrams involving gravitons suppress graviton and matter vacuum fluctuation loops by introducing a low-energy gravitational scale, ΛGvac < 2.4× 10−3 eV.
