Noncommutative unification of general relativity with quantum mechanics and canonical gravity quantization
نویسنده
چکیده
The groupoid approach to noncommutative unification of general relativity with quantum mechanics is compared with the canonical gravity quantization. It is shown that by restricting the corresponding noncommutative algebra to its (commutative) subalgebra, which determines the space-time slicing, an algebraic counterpart of superspace (space of 3-metrics) can be obtained. It turns out that when this space-time slicing emerges the universe is already in its commutative regime. We explore the consequences of this result.

Time in (2+1)-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
General relativity in three spacetime dimensions is used to explore three approaches to the “problem of time” in quantum gravity: the internal Schrödinger approach with mean extrinsic curvature as a time variable, the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, and covariant canonical quantization with “evolving constants of motion.” (To appear in Proc. of the Lanczos Centenary Conference, Raleigh, NC, December 1...
متن کاملΘ-twisted Gravity
We describe a theory of gravitation on canonical noncommutative spacetimes. The construction is based on θ-twisted General Coordinate Transformations and Local Lorentz Invariance. 1. It can be suspected from various arguments, e.g. related with short-distance divergences in quantum field theory and singularities in General Relativity, that the classical concept of spacetime continuum breaks dow...
متن کاملThe Quantization of Gravity — an introduction
This is an introduction to quantum gravity, aimed at a fairly general audience and concentrating on what have historically been the two main approaches to quantum gravity: the covariant and canonical programs (string theory is not covered). The quantization of gravity is discussed by analogy with the quantization of the electromagnetic field. The conceptual and technical problems of both approa...
متن کاملOperator geometry and algebraic gravity
An algebraic formulation of general relativity is proposed. The formulation is applicable to quantum gravity and noncommutative space. To investigate quantum gravity we develop the canonical formalism of operator geometry, after reconstructing an algebraic canonical formulation on analytical dynamics. The remarkable fact is that the constraint equation of the gravitational system is algebraical...

The two dimensional substructure of general relativity and gravity, and the two dimensional geometry of quantum effect by black hole are disclosed. Then the canonical quantization of the two dimensional theory of gravity is performed. It is shown that the resulting uncertainty relations can explain black hole quantum effects. A quantum gravitational length is also derived which can clarify the ...
