Matter in Loop Quantum Gravity
Loop quantum gravity, a non-perturbative and manifestly background free, quantum theory of gravity implies that at the kinematical level the spatial geometry is discrete in a specific sense. The spirit of background independence also requires a nonstandard quantum representation of matter. While loop quantization of standard model fields has been proposed, detail study of its implications is no...
متن کامل4 d quantum gravity coupled to matter
We investigate the phase structure of four-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to Ising spins or Gaussian scalar fields by means of numerical simulations. The quantum gravity part is modelled by the summation over random simplicial manifolds, and the matter fields are located in the center of the 4-simplices, which constitute the building blocks of the manifolds. We find that the coupling betwe...
متن کاملThree principles of quantum gravity in the condensed matter approach
Research on quantum gravity (QG) has historically relied on appeals to guiding principles. This essay frames three such principles within the context of the condensed matter approach to QG. I first identify two distinct versions of this approach, and then consider the extent to which the principles of asymptotic safety, relative locality, and holography are supported by these versions. The gene...
متن کاملThe Dark Matter Problem in Light of Quantum Gravity
We show how, by considering the cumulative effect of tiny quantum gravitational fluctuations over very large distances, it may be possible to: (a) reconcile nucleosynthesis bounds on the density parameter of the Universe with the predictions of inflationary cosmology, and (b) reproduce the inferred variation of the density parameter with distance. Our calculation can be interpreted as a computa...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity and Matter: Counting Graphs on Causal Dynamical Triangulations
An outstanding challenge for models of non-perturbative quantum gravity is the consistent formulation and quantitative evaluation of physical phenomena in a regime where geometry and matter are strongly coupled. After developing appropriate technical tools, one is interested in measuring and classifying how the quantum fluctuations of geometry alter the behaviour of matter, compared with that o...
