Group field theory and simplicial quantum gravity
We present a new group field theory for 4D quantum gravity. It incorporates the constraints that give gravity from BF theory and has quantum amplitudes with the explicit form of simplicial path integrals for first-order gravity. The geometric interpretation of the variables and of the contributions to the quantum amplitudes is manifest. This allows a direct link with other simplicial gravity ap...

Superstring theory is often described as the leading candidate to fill this role, but it has not yet provided an answer to any of these pressing questions. Instead, following its ...

متن کاملGeneralized Theories of Gravity and Conformal Continuations
Many theories of gravity admit formulations in different, conformally related manifolds, known as the Jordan and Einstein conformal frames. Among them are various scalar-tensor theories of gravity and high-order theories with the Lagrangian f (R) where R is the scalar curvature and f is an arbitrary function. It may happen that a singularity in the Einstein frame corresponds to a regular surfac...
متن کاملQuantum theories of dilaton gravity.
Quantization of two-dimensional dilaton gravity coupled to conformal matter is investigated. Working in conformal gauge about a fixed background metric, the theory may be viewed as a sigma model whose target space is parameterized by the dilaton φ and conformal factor ρ. A precise connection is given between the constraint that the theory be independent of the background metric and conformal in...
