Four-dimensional spinfoam quantum gravity with a cosmological constant: Finiteness and semiclassical limit

نویسندگان

چکیده

We present an improved formulation of 4-dimensional Lorentzian spinfoam quantum gravity with a cosmological constant. The construction amplitudes uses the state-integral model $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ Chern-Simons theory and implementation simplicity constraint. has two key features: (1) are all finite, (2) suitable boundary data, semiclassical asymptotics vertex amplitude oscillatory terms, phase plus or minus Regge action constant for curvature 4-simplex.

Quantum gravity with a positive cosmological constant

A quantum theory of gravity is described in the case of a positive cosmological constant in 3 + 1 dimensions. Both old and new results are described, which support the case that loop quantum gravity provides a satisfactory quantum theory of gravity. These include the existence of a ground state, discoverd by Kodama, which both is an exact solution to the constraints of quantum gravity and has a...

Fermions in three-dimensional spinfoam quantum gravity

We study the coupling of massive fermions to the quantum mechanical dynamics of spacetime emerging from the spinfoam approach in three dimensions. We first recall the classical theory before constructing a spinfoam model of quantum gravity coupled to spinors. The technique used is based on a finite expansion in inverse fermion masses leading to the computation of the vacuum to vacuum transition...

A new spinfoam vertex for quantum gravity

We introduce a new spinfoam vertex to be used in models of 4d quantum gravity based on SU(2) and SO(4) BF theory plus constraints. It can be seen as the conventional vertex of SU(2) BF theory, the 15j symbol, in a particular basis constructed using SU(2) coherent states. This basis makes the geometric interpretation of the variables transparent: they are the vectors normal to the triangles with...

Stability of Gravity with a Cosmological Constant

The stability properties of Einstein theory with a cosmological constant A are investigated. For A > 0, stability is established for small fluctuations, about the de Sitter background, occurring inside the event horizon and semiclassical stability is anal~ed. For A < 0, stability is demonstrated for all asymptotically anti-de Sitter metrics. The analysis is based on the general construction of ...

Role of a "local" cosmological constant in Euclidean quantum gravity.

In 4D non-perturbative Regge calculus a positive value of the effective cosmological constant characterizes the collapsed phase of the system. If a local term of the form S′ =
