Freiburg THEP-93/27 gr-qc/9312015 THE SEMICLASSICAL APPROXIMATION TO QUANTUM GRAVITY
A detailed review is given of the semiclassical approximation to quantum gravity in the canonical framework. This includes in particular the derivation of the functional Schrodinger equation and a discussion of semiclassical time as well as the derivation of quantum gravitational correction terms to the Schrodinger equation. These terms are used to calculate energy shifts for elds in De Sitte...

We discuss some subtleties which arise in the semiclassical approximation to quantum gravity. We show that integrability conditions prevent the existence of Tomonaga-Schwinger time functions on the space of three-metrics but admit them on superspace. The concept of semiclassical time is carefully examined. We point out that central charges in the matter sector spoil the consistency of the semic...

We consider the extension of the standard model with an arbitrary number of U (1) gauge fields coupled to baryon-minus-lepton number and/or hypercharge. Under the assumption that A b fb from the LEP1 experiment is an unlucky fluctuation, we find moderate evidence for the presence of such fields in the precision electroweak data. A relatively large range of the Higgs boson mass is allowed. We di...

These notes represent approximately one semester’s worth of lectures on introductory general relativity for beginning graduate students in physics. Topics include manifolds, Riemannian geometry, Einstein’s equations, and three applications: gravitational radiation, black holes, and cosmology. Individual chapters, and potentially updated versions, can be found at http://itp.ucsb.edu/~carroll/not...

The action early proposed by Schild is metamorphosed in N = 1 two dimensional superspace. In the first metamorphosis, equations of motion for string coordinates are derived in virtue of auxiliary fields as their equations of motions. The second one is expressed by the square of a bracket which is defined with N = 1 superfields and its covariant derivations. The superdeterminant of the induced m...
