Light Propagation on Quantum Curved Spacetime and Back reaction effects

چکیده
We study the electromagnetic field equations on an arbitrary quantum curved background in the semiclassical approximation of Loop QuantumGravity. The effective interaction hamiltonian for the Maxwell and gravitational fields is obtained and the corresponding field equations, which can be expressed as a modified wave equation for the Maxwell potential, are derived. We use these results to analyze electromagnetic wave propagation on a quantum Robertson-Walker space time and show that Lorentz Invariance is not preserved. The formalism developed can be applied to the case where back reaction effects on the metric due to the electromagnetic field are taken into account, leading to non covariant field equations.

“ Faster than Light ” Photons and Charged Black Holes
Photons propagating in curved spacetime may, depending on their direction and polari-sation, have velocities exceeding the " speed of light " c. This phenomenon arises through vacuum polarisation in QED and is a tidal gravitational effect depending on the local curvature. It implies that the Principle of Equivalence does not hold for interacting quantum field theories in curved spacetime and re...
متن کاملQuantum Emulation of Gravitational Waves
Gravitational waves, as predicted by Einstein's general relativity theory, appear as ripples in the fabric of spacetime traveling at the speed of light. We prove that the propagation of small amplitude gravitational waves in a curved spacetime is equivalent to the propagation of a subspace of electromagnetic states. We use this result to propose the use of entangled photons to emulate the evolu...

String Quantum Gravity is motivated and introduced. Advances in the study of the classical and quantum string dynamics in curved spacetime are reported : In 1987, we started a programme [1] to study the string dynamics in curved spacetime and its associated physical phenomena. This study revealed new insights and new physical phenomena with respect to string propagation in flat spacetime (and w...
متن کاملOn quantum and parallel transport in a Hilbert bundle over spacetime
We study the Hilbert bundle description of stochastic quantum mechanics in curved spacetime developed by Prugovečki, which gives a powerful new framework for exploring the quantum mechanical propagation of states in curved spacetime. We concentrate on the quantum transport law in the bundle, specifically on the information which can be obtained from the flat space limit. We give a detailed proo...
متن کاملQuantum Evaporation of Liouville Black Holes
The classical field equations of a Liouville field coupled to gravity in two spacetime dimensions are shown to have black hole solutions. Exact solutions are also obtained when quantum corrections due to back reaction effects are included, modifying both the ADM mass and the black hole entropy. The thermodynamic limit breaks down before evaporation of the black hole is complete, indicating that...
