Unexpected Spin-Off from Quantum Gravity

چکیده

We propose a novel way of investigating the universal properties of spin systems by coupling them to an ensemble of causal dynamically triangulated lattices, instead of studying them on a fixed regular or random lattice. Somewhat surprisingly, graph-counting methods to extract highor low-temperature series expansions can be adapted to this case. For the two-dimensional Ising model, we present evidence that this ameliorates the singularity structure of thermodynamic functions in the complex plane, and improves the convergence of the power series.

Three dimensional loop quantum gravity: physical scalar product and spin foam models

In this paper, we address the problem of the dynamics in three dimensional loop quantum gravity with zero cosmological constant. We construct a rigorous definition of Rovelli’s generalized projection operator from the kinematical Hilbert space—corresponding to the quantization of the infinite dimensional kinematical configuration space of the theory—to the physical Hilbert space. In particular,...

Spacetime geometry from algebra: spin foam models for non-perturbative quantum gravity

This is an introduction to spin foam models for non-perturbative quantum gravity, an approach that lies at the point of convergence of many different research areas, including loop quantum gravity, topological quantum field theories, path integral quantum gravity, lattice field theory, matrix models, category theory, statistical mechanics. We describe the general formalism and ideas of spin foa...

Relativistic Spin Networks and Quantum Gravity

Relativistic spin networks are de ned by considering the spin covering of the group SO(4), SU(2) SU(2). Relativistic quantum spins are related to the geometry of the 2-dimensional faces of a 4-simplex. This extends the idea of Ponzano and Regge that SU(2) spins are related to the geometry of the edges of a 3-simplex. This leads us to suggest that there may be a 4-dimensional state sum model for...

Perturbative Gravity from QCD Amplitudes

We demonstrate that QCD gluon amplitudes can be used to construct a Lagrangian for gravity. This procedure makes use of perturbative ‘squaring’ relations between gravity and gauge theory that follow from string theory. We explicitly carry out the construction for up to five-point interactions and discuss a set of field variables in the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian for interpreting the Lagrangian...

Gravitomagnetic Moments and Dynamics of Dirac (spin 12) fermions in flat space-time Maxwellian Gravity

The gravitational effects in the relativistic quantum mechanics are investigated in a relativistically derived version of Heaviside’s speculative gravity ( in flat space-time) named here as “Maxwellian Gravity”. The standard Dirac’s approach to the intrinsic spin in the fields of Maxwellian Gravity yields the gravitomagnetic moment of a Dirac (spin 1/2) particle exactly equal to its intrinsic s...
