Quantum Gravity, Cosmology, (Liouville) Strings and Lorentz Invariance
نویسنده
چکیده
I review some aspects of non-critical strings in connection with LorentzInvariance violating approaches to quantum gravity. I also argue how non-critical strings may provide a unifying framework where string Cosmology and quantum gravity may be tackled together.

Liouville Dressed Weights and Renormalization of Spin in Topologically Massive Gravity
We examine the relations between observables in twoand three-dimensional quantum gravity by studying the coupling of topologically massive gravity to matter fields in non-trivial representations of the three-dimensional Lorentz group. We show that the gravitational renormalization of spin up to one-loop order in these theories reproduces the leading orders of the KPZ scaling relations for quant...
متن کاملLoop Quantum Gravity Phenomenology: Linking Loops to Observational Physics
Research during the last decade demonstrates that effects originating on the Planck scale are currently being tested in multiple observational contexts. In this review we discuss quantum gravity phenomenological models and their possible links to loop quantum gravity. Particle frameworks, including kinematic models, broken and deformed Poincaré symmetry, non-commutative geometry, relative local...
متن کاملLorentz Violation of Quantum Gravity
A quantum gravity theory which becomes renormalizable at short distances due to a spontaneous symmetry breaking of Lorentz invariance and diffeomorphism invariance is studied. A breaking of Lorentz invariance with the breaking patterns SO(3, 1) → O(3) and SO(3, 1) → O(2), describing 3 + 1 and 2 + 1 quantum gravity, respectively, is proposed. A complex time dependent Schrödinger equation (genera...
متن کاملLorentz Invariance and the semiclassical approximation of loop quantum gravity
It is shown that the field equations derived from an effective interaction hamiltonian for Maxwell and gravitational fields in the semiclassical approximation of loop quantum gravity using weave states are Lorentz invariant. To derive this result, which is in agreement with the observational evidence, we use the geometrical properties of the electromagnetic field. PACS numbers: 04.25.Nx, 04.60,...
متن کاملCosmic Rays and Tev Photons as Probes of Quantum Properties of Space-time
It has been recently observed that small violations of Lorentz invariance, of a type which may arise in quantum gravity, could explain both the observations of cosmic rays above the GZK cutoff and the observations of 20-TeV gamma rays from Markarian 501. We show here that different pictures of the short-distance structure of space-time would lead to different manifestations of Lorentz-invarianc...
