Matrix model formulation of four dimensional gravity
The problem of constructing a quantum theory of gravity has been tackled with very different strategies. An attractive possibility is that of encoding all possible space-times as specific Feynman diagrams of a suitable field theory as it happens for the matrix model formulation of two-dimensional quantum gravity (see for example [1] and references therein). In the perturbative approach to the m...
متن کاملGeometrodynamical Formulation of Two-Dimensional Dilaton Gravity
Two-dimensional matterless dilaton gravity with arbitrary dilatonic potential can be discussed in a unitary way, both in the Lagrangian and canonical frameworks, by introducing suitable field redefinitions. The new fields are directly related to the original spacetime geometry and in the canonical picture they generalize the well-known geometrodynamical variables used in the discussion of the S...
متن کاملFour-Dimensional Entropy from Three-Dimensional Gravity.
At the horizon of a black hole, the action of (3+1)-dimensional loop quantum gravity acquires a boundary term that is formally identical to an action for three-dimensional gravity. I show how to use this correspondence to obtain the entropy of the (3+1)-dimensional black hole from well-understood conformal field theory computations of the entropy in (2+1)-dimensional de Sitter space.
متن کاملAnomaly-free formulation of non-perturbative, four-dimensional Lorentzian quantum gravity
AWheeler-Dewitt quantum constraint operator for four-dimensional, non-perturbative Lorentzian vacuum quantum gravity is defined in the continuum. The regulated Wheeler-DeWitt constraint operator is densely defined, does not require any renormalization and the final operator is anomaly-free and at least symmmetric. The technique introduced here can also be used to produce a couple of completely ...
متن کاملWilson loops in four-dimensional quantum gravity.
A Wilson loop is defined, in 4-D pure Einstein gravity, as the trace of the holonomy of the Christoffel connection or of the spin connection, and its invariance under the symmetry transformations of the action is showed (diffeomorphisms and local Lorentz transformations). We then compute the loop perturbatively, both on a flat background and in the presence of an external source; we also allow ...
