The Feynman Propagator for Quantum Gravity: Spin Foams, Proper Time, Orientation, Causality and Timeless-Ordering
We discuss the notion of causality in Quantum Gravity in the context of sum-over-histories approaches, in the absence therefore of any background time parameter. In the spin foam formulation of Quantum Gravity, we identify the appropriate causal structure in the orientation of the spin foam 2-complex and the data that characterize it; we construct a generalised version of spin foam models intro...
متن کاملThe Semiclassical Propagator for Spin Coherent States
We use a continuous-time path integral to obtain the semiclassical propagator for minimal-spread spin coherent states. We pay particular attention to the “extra phase” discovered by Solari and Kochetov, and show that this correction is related to an anomaly in the fluctuation determinant. We show that, once this extra factor is included, the semiclassical propagator has the correct short time b...
متن کاملEdited by1 The spin-foam-representation of LQG
The problem of background independent quantum gravity is the problem of defining a quantum field theory of matter and gravity in the absence of an underlying background geometry. Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a promising proposal for addressing this difficult task. Despite the steady progress of the field, dynamics remains to a large extend an open issue in LQG. Here we present the main ideas b...
متن کاملParticle Propagator of Spin Calogero-Sutherland Model
We obtained the particle propagator for spin 1/2 Calogero-Sutherland model for the finite system and in thermodynamic limit by Uglov’s method, the details of which are explained in the previous paper about the hole propagator of this model. Corresponding spectral functions in a full energy-momentum space are calculated numerically and the positions of the divergences of intensity are determined...
متن کاملThe Feynman propagator for spin foam quantum gravity
We link the notion causality with the orientation of the 2-complex on which spin foam models are based. We show that all current spin foam models are orientation-independent, pointing out the mathematical structure behind this independence. Using the technology of evolution kernels for quantum fields/particles on Lie groups/homogeneous spaces, we construct a generalised version of spin foam mod...
