Quantizing Canonical Gravity in the Real Domain
There are several possibilities of formulating the classical Hamiltonian theory of pure Einstein gravity. The traditional one, proposed by Arnowitt-DeserMisner, is in terms of a canonical pair (gab, π ) of a Riemannian three-metric and its conjugate momentum. Introducing local, rotational SO(3)-degrees of freedom, one obtains a closely related formulation, based on a variable pair (E i ,K i a),...
متن کاملOn quantizing gravity and geometrizing quantum mechanics
We elaborate on some recent results on a solution of the Hilbert-space problem in minisuperspace quantum cosmology and discuss the consequences of making the (geometry of the) Hilbert space of ordinary nonrelativistic quantum systems time-dependent. The latter reveals a remarkable similarity between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity.
متن کاملStill on the Way to Quantizing Gravity
I review and discuss some recent developments in non-perturbative approaches to quantum gravity, with an emphasis on discrete formulations, and those coming from a classical connection description. 1 Invited talk at the 12th Italian Conference on General Relativity and Gravitational Physics, Roma, September 23-27, 1996. 1 Quantizing gravity The subject of this talk are several more or less deve...
متن کاملDuality in Gravity and Higher Spin Gauge Fields
Dual field theory realisations are given for linearised gravity in terms of gauge fields in exotic representations of the Lorentz group. The field equations and dual representations are discussed for a wide class of higher spin gauge fields. For non-linear Einstein gravity, such transformations can be implemented locally in light-cone gauge, or partially implemented in the presence of a Killing...
متن کاملIrreversibility and Higher-spin Conformal Field Theory
I discuss the properties of the central charges c and a for higher-derivative and higher-spin theories (spin 2 included). Ordinary gravity does not admit a straightforward identification of c and a in the trace anomaly, because it is not conformal. On the other hand, higherderivative theories can be conformal, but have negative c and a. A third possibility is to consider higher-spin conformal f...
