New directions in Background Independent Quantum Gravity
We discuss the meaning of background independence in quantum theories of gravity where geometry and gravity are emergent and illustrate the possibilities using the framework of quantum causal histories.
متن کاملBackground Independent Quantum Gravity: A Status Report
The goal of this article is to present an introduction to loop quantum gravity —a background independent, non-perturbative approach to the problem of unification of general relativity and quantum physics, based on a quantum theory of geometry. Our presentation is pedagogical. Thus, in addition to providing a bird’s eye view of the present status of the subject, the article should also serve as ...
متن کاملBackground Independent Quantum Mechanics and Gravity
We argue that the demand of background independence in a quantum theory of gravity calls for an extension of standard geometric quantum mechanics. We discuss a possible kinematical and dynamical generalization of the latter by way of a quantum covariance of the state space. Specifically, we apply our scheme to the problem of a background independent formulation of Matrix Theory. e-mail: dminic@...
متن کاملQuantum Hamiltonian reduction of the Schwinger model.
We reexamine a unitary-transformation method of extracting a physical Hamiltonian from a gauge eld theory after quantizing all degrees of freedom including redundant variables. We show that this quantum Hamiltonian reduction method su ers from crucial modi cations arising from regularization of composite operators. We assess the e ects of regularization in the simplest gauge eld theory, the Sch...
متن کاملTowards a Background Independent Formulation of Perturbative Quantum Gravity
The recent formulation of locally covariant quantum field theory may open the way towards a background independent perturbative formulation of Quantum Gravity. 1 Problems of perturbative Quantum Gravity In quantum field theory the fields are defined as operator-valued distributions on a given spacetime, and many of their properties, in particular the commutativity at spacetime separated points,...
