Strong energy condition in R+R2 gravity.
In this paper, we study Raychaudhuri's equation in the background of R + βR 2 gravity with a phenomenological matter (ρ ∝ a(t) −n). We conclude that even though the Strong Energy Condition (S.E.C.) for Einstein's gravity, which guarantees singularity, is n ≥ 2 for ρ ∝ a(t) −n , a perturbative analysis of Raychaudhuri's equation in the background of R+βR 2 gravity reveals that the big bang singu...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity as Topological Quantum Field Theory
The physics of quantum gravity is discussed within the framework of topological quantum field theory. Some of the principles are illustrated with examples taken from theories in which space-time is three dimensional.
متن کاملQuantum Einstein Gravity as a Topological Field Theory
General covariance in quantum gravity is seen once one integrates over all possible metrics. In recent years topological field theories have given us a different route to general covariance without integrating over all possible metrics. Here we argue that Einstein quantum gravity may be viewed of as a topological field theory as long as a certain constraint from the path integral measure is sat...
متن کاملQuantum gravity as a consistent local field theory
We show that the Einstein-Hilbert action for the gravitational field can be derived as a linear low-energy approximation for the dynamical massless fields in the theory with the lagrangian quadratic in the gauge field strength-tensor of spin connection under the spontaneous breaking of symmetry by a vacuum state with nontrivial background strength-tension.
متن کاملQuantum Gravity as a quantum field theory of simplicial geometry
This is an introduction to the group field theory approach to quantum gravity, with emphasis on motivations and basic formalism, more than on recent results; we elaborate on the various ingredients, both conceptual and formal, of the approach, giving some examples, and we discuss some perspectives of future developments.
