Higher-Dimensional Algebra and Planck-Scale Physics
This is a nontechnical introduction to recent work on quantum gravity using ideas from higher-dimensional algebra. We argue that reconciling general relativity with the Standard Model requires a ‘background-free quantum theory with local degrees of freedom propagating causally’. We describe the insights provided by work on topological quantum field theories such as quantum gravity in 3-dimensio...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Wheeler-DeWitt Equation beyond Planck Scale and Dimensional Reduction
We solve the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for four-dimensional Einstein gravity as an expansion in powers of the Planck mass by means of a heat kernel regularization. Our results suggest that in the universe with a very small radius or with a very large curvature beyond a Planck scale expectation values of operators are reduced to calculations in a path integral representation of three-dimensional E...
متن کاملDimensional Reduction without Continuous Extra Dimensions
We describe a novel approach to dimensional reduction in classical field theory. Inspired by ideas from noncommutative geometry, we introduce extended algebras of differential forms over spacetime, generalized exterior derivatives, and generalized connections associated with the “geometry” of space-times with discrete extra dimensions. We apply our formalism to theories of gaugeand gravitationa...
متن کاملExtended Planck Scale
Abstract Traditional derivations of the Planck mass ignore the role of charge and spin in general relativity. From the Kerr-Newman null surface and horizon radii, quantized charge and spin dependence are introduced in an extended Planck scale of mass. Spectra emerge with selection rules dependent upon the choice of Kerr-Newman radius to link with the Compton wavelength. The appearance of the fi...
متن کاملPostrelativity — A Paradigm For Quantization With Preferred Newtonian Frame
We define a new paradigm — postrelativity — based on the hypothesis of a preferred hidden Newtonian frame in relativistic theories. It leads to a modification of general relativity with ether interpretation, without topological problems, black hole and big bang singularities. Semiclassical theory predicts Hawking radiation with evaporation before horizon formation. In quantum gravity there is n...
