Loop quantum cosmology from group field theory
We show that the effective dynamics of the recently proposed isotropic condensate state of group field theory with Laplacian kinetic operator can be equivalent to that of homogeneous and isotropic loop quantum cosmology in the improved dynamics quantization scheme, where the area of elementary holonomy plaquettes is constant. This constitutes a somewhat surprising example of a cosmological mode...
متن کاملCosmology from group field theory formalism for quantum gravity.
We identify a class of condensate states in the group field theory (GFT) formulation of quantum gravity that can be interpreted as macroscopic homogeneous spatial geometries. We then extract the dynamics of such condensate states directly from the fundamental quantum GFT dynamics, following the procedure used in ordinary quantum fluids. The effective dynamics is a nonlinear and nonlocal extensi...
متن کاملQuantum Cosmology from Group Field Theory Condensates: a Review
We give, in some detail, a critical overview over recent work towards deriving a cosmological phenomenology from the fundamental quantum dynamics of group field theory (GFT), based on the picture of a macroscopic universe as a “condensate” of a large number of quanta of geometry which are given by excitations of the GFT field over a “no-space” vacuum. We emphasise conceptual foundations, relati...
متن کاملScattering From Effective Field Theory
We examine the role of the ∆∆ intermediate state in NN scattering in the S0 channel. The computation is performed at lowest order in an effective field theory involving local four-fermion operators and one pion exchange using dimensional regularization with MS. As first discussed by Weinberg, in the theory with only nucleons the large scattering length in this channel requires a small scale for...
متن کاملEffective Field Theories as Asymptotic Series: From QCD to Cosmology
We present some generic arguments demonstrating that an effective Lagrangian Leff which, by definition, contains operators O n of arbitrary dimensionality in general is not convergent, but rather an asymptotic series. It means that the behavior of the far distant terms has a specific factorial dependence Leff ∼ ∑ n cnO Mn , cn ∼ n!, n ≫ 1. We discuss a few apparently different problems, which h...
