Quantum gravity corrections to neutrino propagation
Massive spin-1/2 fields are studied in the framework of loop quantum gravity by considering a state approximating, at a length scale L much greater than Planck length l(P), a spin-1/2 field in flat spacetime. The discrete structure of spacetime at l(P) yields corrections to the field propagation at scale L. Neutrino bursts ( &pmacr; approximately 10(5) GeV) accompanying gamma ray bursts that ha...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity Corrections to the Schwarzschild Mass
Vacuum spherically symmetric Einstein gravity in N ≥ 4 dimensions can be cast in a two-dimensional conformal nonlinear sigma model form by first integrating on the (N − 2)-dimensional (hyper)sphere and then performing a canonical transformation. The conformal sigma model is described by two fields which are related to the ArnowittDeser-Misner mass and to the radius of the (N−2)-dimensional (hyp...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity Corrections to Particle Interactions
An heuristic semiclassical procedure that incorporates quantum gravity induced corrections in the description of photons and spin 1/2 fermions is reviewed. Such modifications are calculated in the framework of loop quantum gravity and they arise from the granular structure of space at short distances. The resulting effective theories are described by power counting non-renormalizable actions wh...
متن کاملUniversality of quantum gravity corrections.
We show that the existence of a minimum measurable length and the related generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), predicted by theories of quantum gravity, influence all quantum Hamiltonians. Thus, they predict quantum gravity corrections to various quantum phenomena. We compute such corrections to the Lamb shift, the Landau levels, and the tunneling current in a scanning tunneling microscope....
متن کاملTroubles for Unimodular Gravity
We compute the contribution of various gravitational instantons to the path integral in the standard formulation of unimodular gravity, an alternative theory of gravity where the determinant of the metric is not dynamical. Following similar computations in General Relativity, we derive the entropy/area ratio for cosmological and black hole horizons, finding in general disagreement with General ...
