General Relativity and Quantum Theory - Ontological Investigations
It is common to note that the two great theoretical frameworks of twentieth-century physics, quantum theory and general relativity, are prima facie incompatible. Within the physics community, the incompatibility is largely discussed on a technical level. In this paper, I would like to frame the problem more conceptually, focussing on the respective ontologies of the two frameworks. When I speak...
متن کاملA five-dimensional extension of general relativity and quantum theory
The torsion-free de Sitter reducible metric linear connection on a fivedimensional manifold is studied in conjunction with a method of constructing spacetime via a partially restricted reference cross section of the bundle of linear frames described in earlier publications. It leads to the equation Rαβ = (1/l)gαβ where l is a fundamental length, assumed to be the Planck length. It also yields t...
متن کاملExact Quantum Loop Results in the Theory of General Relativity †
We present a new approach to quantum general relativity based on the idea of Feynman to treat the graviton in Einstein's theory as a point particle field subject to quantum fluctuations just as any such field is in the well-known Standard Model of the electroweak and strong interactions. We show that, by using resummation techniques based on the extension of the methods of Yennie, Frautschi and...
متن کاملThe Quantum Theory of General Relativity at Low Energies
In quantum field theory there is now a well developed technique, effective field theory, which allows one to obtain low energy quantum predictions in “non-renormalizable” theories, using only the degrees of freedom and interactions appropriate for those energies. Whether or not general relativity is truly fundamental, at low energies it is automatically described as a quantum effective field th...
متن کاملNon-locality in quantum field theory due to general relativity
We show that general relativity coupled to a quantum field theory generically leads to non-local effects in the matter sector. These non-local effects can be described by non-local higher dimensional operators which remarkably have an approximate shift symmetry. When applied to inflationary models, our results imply that small nonGaussianities are a generic feature of models based on general re...
