2 00 8 Generalized Gravity I : Kinematical Setting and reformalizing Quantum Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The first part of this work deals with the development of a natural differential calculus on non-commutative manifolds. The second part extends the covariance and equivalence principle as well studies its kinematical consequences such as the arising of gauge theory. Furthermore, a manifestly causal and covariant formulation of quantum field theory is presented which surpasses the usual Hamiltonian and path integral construction. A particular representation of this theory on the kinematical structure developed in section three is moreover given.

متن کامل2 6 M ay 2 00 8 Quantum gravity as a unified theory coupled to quantized matter fields
Quantum gravity as a unified theory coupled to quantized matter fields. Abstract In this paper we place some results of previous works together into a larger overall context. First we quantize the gravity-matter system in Ashtekar variables as a unified field, combining the Dirac, reduced phase space, geometric and path integration approaches, and construct the generalized Kodama state by expan...
متن کاملSpherically Symmetric Quantum Geometry: States and Basic Operators
The kinematical setting of spherically symmetric quantum geometry, derived from the full theory of loop quantum gravity, is developed. This extends previous studies of homogeneous models to inhomogeneous ones where interesting field theory aspects arise. A comparison between a reduced quantization and a derivation of the model from the full theory is presented in detail, with an emphasis on the...
متن کاملO ct 2 00 5 SU ( 2 ) Loop Quantum Gravity seen from Covariant Theory
Covariant loop gravity comes out of the canonical analysis of the Palatini action and the use of the Dirac brackets arising from dealing with the second class constraints (“simplicity” constraints). Within this framework, we underline a quantization ambiguity due to the existence of a family of possible Lorentz connections. We show the existence of a Lorentz connection generalizing the Ashtekar...
متن کاملNull Cones and Einstein’s Equations in Minkowski Spacetime
If Einstein’s equations are to describe a field theory of gravity in Minkowski spacetime, then causality requires that the effective curved metric must respect the flat background metric’s null cone. The kinematical problem is solved using a generalized eigenvector formalism based on the Segré classification of symmetric rank 2 tensors with respect to a Lorentzian metric. Securing the correct r...
