A Relation Between Topological Quantum Field Theory and the Kodama State
نویسنده
چکیده
We study a relation between topological quantum field theory and the Kodama (Chern-Simons) state. It is shown that the Kodama (Chern-Simons) state describes a topological state with unbroken diffeomorphism invariance in Yang-Mills theory and Einstein’s general relativity in four dimensions. We give a clear explanation of ”why” such a topological state exists. E-mail address: [email protected]

Topological excitations around the vacuum of quantum gravity I: The symmetries of the vacuum
This is the first paper in a series in which an attempt is made to formulate a perturbation theory around the the Chern-Simons state of quantum gravity discovered by Kodama. It is based on an extension of the theory of ’t Hooft Deser and Jackew describing point particles in 3D gravity to four spacetime dimensions. General covariance now requires the basic excitations to be extended in one spati...
متن کاملTopological analysis and Quantum mechanical structure of Ozone
Topological analysis has been performed on the total electron density of the two forms of Ozonemolecule,C2V and D3H ,to investigate the nature of chemical bonds ,molecular structure , atomiccharges and electrical properties. While these concepts have been completely discussed usingclassical models the emphasize in this work is based on Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules(QTAIM). Because the D3...

متن کاملQuantum gravity with a positive cosmological constant
A quantum theory of gravity is described in the case of a positive cosmological constant in 3 + 1 dimensions. Both old and new results are described, which support the case that loop quantum gravity provides a satisfactory quantum theory of gravity. These include the existence of a ground state, discoverd by Kodama, which both is an exact solution to the constraints of quantum gravity and has a...
