A Generalized Uncertainty Principle in Quantum Gravity
We discuss a Gedanken experiment for the measurement of the area of the apparent horizon of a black hole in quantum gravity. Using rather general and model-independent considerations we find a generalized uncertainty principle which agrees with a similar result obtained in the framework of string theories. The result indicates that a minimum length of the order of the Planck length emerges natu...
متن کامل4-dimensional BF Gravity on the Lattice
We propose the lattice version of BF gravity action whose partition function leads to the product of a particular form of 15-j symbol which corresponds to a 4-simplex. The action is explicitly constructed by lattice B field defined on triangles and link variables defined on dual links and is shown to be invariant under lattice local Lorentz transformation and Kalb-Ramond gauge transformation. W...
متن کاملEdge Dynamics for BF Theories and Gravity
We discuss BF theories defined on manifolds with spatial boundaries. Variational arguments show that one needs to augment the usual action with a boundary term for specific types of boundary conditions. We also show how to use this procedure to find the boundary actions for theories of gravity with first order formulations.
متن کاملGravity as Bf Theory plus Potential
Spin foam models of quantum gravity are based on Plebański’s formulation of general relativity as a constrained BF theory. We give an alternative formulation of gravity as BF theory plus a certain potential term for the B-field. When the potential is taken to be infinitely steep one recovers general relativity. For a generic potential the theory still describes gravity in that it propagates jus...
متن کاملClifford bundle formulation of BF gravity generalized to the standard model
The two most successful physical theories of the twentieth century were quantum mechanics, culminating in Quantum Field Theory and the standard model of particles and interactions, and General Relativity, Einstein’s geometric theory of gravitation. These two theories, refined and verified to extraordinary accuracy, are beautiful mathematical descriptions of the physical universe. The fact that ...
