Dimensional Reduction in Quantum Gravity
The requirement that physical phenomena associated with gravitational collapse should be duly reconciled with the postulates of quantum mechanics implies that at a Planckian scale our world is not 3+1 dimensional. Rather, the observable degrees of freedom can best be described as if they were Boolean variables defined on a two-dimensional lattice, evolving with time. This observation, deduced f...
متن کاملSpontaneous Dimensional Reduction in Short-Distance Quantum Gravity?
Several lines of evidence suggest that quantum gravity at very short distances may behave effectively as a two-dimensional theory. I summarize these hints, and offer an additional argument based on the strong-coupling limit of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. The resulting scenario suggests a novel approach to quantum gravity at the Planck scale.
متن کاملThe Hausdorff dimension in polymerized quantum gravity
We calculate the Hausdorff dimension, dH , and the correlation function exponent, η, for polymerized two dimensional quantum gravity models. If the nonpolymerized model has correlation function exponent η0 > 3 then dH = γ −1 where γ is the susceptibility exponent. This suggests that these models may be in the same universality class as certain non-generic branched polymer models. PACS: 04.40.K
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
We show equivalence between the standard weak coupling regime c > 25 of the the two-dimensional quantum gravity and regime h < 1/2 of the original geometric approach of Polyakov [1, 2], developed in [3, 4, 5]. 1 In this letter I shall demonstrate the equivalence of two approaches to the twodimensional quantum gravity. The first approach, called geometric, goes back to Polyakov’s original discov...
متن کاملGravity Waves FromPrimordial Dimensional Reduction
We show that the dynamical contraction of n "internal" spacelike dimensions leads, in general, to the formation of a cosmic graviton background, similar to that produced by innation. By using a simple phenomenological model we discuss how to obtain information and constraints on the total number of extra dimensions, on their compactiication scale and on the kinematics of the dimensional reducti...
