No Presentism in Quantum Gravity
This essay offers a reaction to the recent resurgence of presentism in the philosophy of time. What is of particular interest in this renaissance is that a number of recent arguments supporting presentism are crafted in an untypically naturalistic vein, breathing new life into a metaphysics of time with a bad track record of cohabitation with modern physics. Against this trend, the present essa...
متن کاملNo chiral truncation of quantum log gravity?
At the classical level, chiral gravity may be constructed as a consistent truncation of a larger theory called log gravity by requiring that left-moving charges vanish. In turn, log gravity is the limit of topologically massive gravity (TMG) at a special value of the coupling (the chiral point). We study the situation at the level of linearized quantum fields, focussing on a unitary quantizatio...
متن کاملQuantum Space-time and Classical Gravity
A method has been recently proposed for defining an arbitrary number of differential calculi over a given noncommutative associative algebra. As an example a version of quantized space-time is considered here. It is found that there is a natural differential calculus using which the space-time is necessarily flat Minkowski space-time. Perturbations of this calculus are shown to give rise to non...
متن کاملSeparable Hilbert space in Loop Quantum Gravity
We study the separability of the state space of loop quantum gravity. In the standard construction, the kinematical Hilbert space of the diffeomorphism-invariant states is nonseparable. This is a consequence of the fact that the knot-space of the equivalence classes of graphs under diffeomorphisms is noncountable. However, the continuous moduli labeling these classes do not appear to affect the...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity In De Sitter Space
We discuss some general properties of quantum gravity in de Sitter space. It has been argued that the Hilbert space is of finite dimension. This suggests a macroscopic argument that General Relativity cannot be quantized – unless it is embedded in a more complete theory that determines the value of the cosmological constant. We give a definition of the quantum Hilbert space using the asymptotic...
