Background Independent Quantum Gravity: A Status Report
The goal of this article is to present an introduction to loop quantum gravity —a background independent, non-perturbative approach to the problem of unification of general relativity and quantum physics, based on a quantum theory of geometry. Our presentation is pedagogical. Thus, in addition to providing a bird’s eye view of the present status of the subject, the article should also serve as ...
متن کاملNew directions in Background Independent Quantum Gravity
We discuss the meaning of background independence in quantum theories of gravity where geometry and gravity are emergent and illustrate the possibilities using the framework of quantum causal histories.
متن کاملBackground Independent Relations between Gravity and Electromagnetism
As every circuit designer knows, the flow of energy is governed by impedance matching. Classical or quantum impedances, mechanical or electromagnetic, fermionic or bosonic, topological,... To understand the flow of energy it is essential to understand the relations between the associated impedances. The connection between electromagnetism and gravitation can be made explicit by examining the im...
متن کاملBackground Independent Quantum Mechanics and Gravity
We argue that the demand of background independence in a quantum theory of gravity calls for an extension of standard geometric quantum mechanics. We discuss a possible kinematical and dynamical generalization of the latter by way of a quantum covariance of the state space. Specifically, we apply our scheme to the problem of a background independent formulation of Matrix Theory. e-mail: dminic@...
متن کاملCosmology in a non-standard statistical background
We study the primordial neutron to baryon ratio in a cosmological expanding background within the context of non-extensive statistics, in a fully analytical approach. First order corrections to the weak interaction rates and energy densities in the early universe are obtained and their consequences on the Helium synthesis are analized. We find that, if the nucleosynthesis scenario should be in ...
