2-Form Gravity of the Lorentzian Signature
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a new spinorial, BF-like action for the Einstein gravity. This is a first, up to our knowledge, 2-form action which describes the real, Lorentzian gravity and uses only the self-dual connection. In the generic case, the corresponding classical canonical theory is equivalent to the Einstein-Ashtekar theory plus the reality conditions. [email protected] [email protected]

Schwinger-Keldysh Propagators from AdS/CFT Correspondence
We demonstrate how to compute real-time Green’s functions for a class of finite temperature field theories from their AdS gravity duals. In particular, we reproduce the 2× 2 SchwingerKeldysh matrix propagator from a gravity calculation. Our methods should work also for computing higher point Lorentzian signature correlators. We elucidate the boundary condition subtleties which hampered previous...
متن کاملA Ponzano-Regge model of Lorentzian 3-Dimensional gravity
We present the construction of the partition function of 3-dimensional gravity in the Lorentzian regime as a state sum model over a triangulation. This generalize the work of Ponzano and Regge to the case of Lorentzian signature.
متن کاملQuantum Gravity as a model to test 3+1 Lorentzian Quantum Gravity
The quantization of Lorentzian or Euclidean 2+1 gravity by canonical methods is a well-studied problem. However, the constraints of 2+1 gravity are those of a topological field theory and therefore resemble very little those of the corresponding Lorentzian 3+1 constraints. In this paper we canonically quantize Euclidean 2+1 gravity for arbitrary genus of the spacelike hypersurface with new, cla...
متن کاملLorentzian LQG vertex amplitude
We generalize a model recently proposed for Euclidean quantum gravity to the case of Lorentzian signature. The main features of the Euclidean model are preserved in the Lorentzian one. In particular, the boundary Hilbert space matches the one of SU(2) loop quantum gravity. As in the Euclidean case, the model can be obtained from the Lorentzian Barrett-Crane model from a flipping of the Poisson ...
متن کاملAlgorithmic Complexity in Cosmology and Quantum Gravity
In this article we use the idea of algorithmic complexity (AC) to study various cosmological scenarios, and as a means of quantizing the gravitational interaction. We look at 5D and 7D cosmological models where the Universe begins as a higher dimensional Planck size spacetime which fluctuates between Euclidean and Lorentzian signatures. These fluctuations are governed by the AC of the two diffe...
