چکیده

The theory of gravity without free gravitational fields is considered. It is assumed that gravitational radiation is some hypothetical matter fields. Gravitational emission is a process of the decay of proton into hypothetical matter fields at the Planck scale. In the Einstein theory of gravity [1] with the Lagrangian L = − 1 16πG √ gR, (1) gravitational field is defined by the components of the metric tensor gik. Quantization of gravity reduces to quantization of the fields gik, with the free gravitational fields are described by the Einstein equations Rik = 0. (2) According to Rosenfeld [2], the necessity to quantize gravity is an empiric problem. The mental experiment of Bohr and Rosenfeld [2] on measurement of the field values with the use of the Einstein equivalence principle gives the uncertainty of measurement of gravitational fields and distances ∆g(∆l) ≥ 2h̄G c = 2lP l (3) where lP l is the Planck length. On the other hand, uncertainty relation (3) holds in quantum gravity as a commutational relation [3]. This means [4] that all the quantum gravitational effects are less than the uncertainty of measurement in accordance with (3). That is quantum and classical gravity are the same, since we cannot distingwish classical and quantum gravity in experimental way. From this it follows that free gravitational fields given by (2) do not exist. Let us consider the theory in which gravity exists only if matter exists

The spinfoam approach to quantum gravity rests on a “quantization” of BF theory using 2-complexes and group representations. We explain why, in dimension three and higher, this “spinfoam quantization” must be amended to be made consistent with the gauge symmetries of discrete BF theory. We discuss a suitable generalization, called “cellular quantization”, which (1) is finite, (2) produces a top...

To Quantize or Not to Quantize: Fact and Folklore in Quantum Gravity

Does the need to find a quantum theory of gravity imply that the gravitational field must be quantized? Physicists working in quantum gravity routinely assume an affirmative answer, often without being aware of the metaphysical commitments that tend to underlie this assumption. The ambition of this article is to probe these commitments and to analyze some recently adduced arguments pertinent to...

Is the ISO ( 2 ; 1 ) Gauge Gravity equivalent to the MetricFormulation ?

The quantization of the gravitational Chern-Simons coeecient is investigated in the framework of I S O(2; 1) gauge gravity. Some paradoxes involved are cured. The resolution is largely based on the inequivalence of I S O(2; 1) gauge gravity and the metric formulation. Both the Lorentzian scheme and the Euclidean scheme lead to the coeecient quantization, which means that the induced spin is not...

The present article summarizes the work of the papers [1] dealing with the quantization of pure gravity and gravity coupled to a Maxwell field and a cosmological constant in presence of spherical symmetry. Let us stress the following : the motivation for this project was not to quantize a black hole. Rather, we regard the present model as an interesting testing ground for the quantization of fu...
