Topology, Quantum Gravity and Particle Physics
It is argued that quantum gravity has an interpretation as a topological quantum field theory provided a certain constraint from the path integral measure is respected. The constraint forces us to couple gauge and matter fields to gravity for space time dimensions different from 3. We then discuss possible models which may be relevant to our universe.

متن کاملQuantum Theory, Gravity, and the Standard Model of Particle Physics
When a mountaineer is ascending one of the great peaks of the Himalayas she knows that an entirely new vista awaits her at the top, whose ramifications will be known only after she gets there. Her immediate goal though, is to tackle the obstacles on the way up, and reach the peak. In a similar vein, one of the immediate goals of contemporary theoretical physics is to build a quantum, unified de...
متن کاملDeriving particle physics from quantum gravity: a plan
I give a short review of the holographic approach to quantum gravity, with emphasis on its application to deriving the properties of elementary particles.
متن کاملGravity, Particle Physics and Their Unification
Our present world picture is based on two theories: the Standard Model of particle physics and general relativity, the theory of gravity. These two theories have scored astonishing successes. It is therefore quite striking when one learns that this picture of the laws of physics is inconsistent. The inconsistency comes from taking a part of theory, the Standard Model, as a quantum theory and th...
متن کاملLoop Quantum Gravity and Black Hole Physics
I summarize the basic ideas and formalism of loop quantum gravity. I illustrate the results on the discrete aspects of quantum geometry and two applications of these results to black hole physics. In particular, I discuss in detail the derivation of the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for the entropy of a black hole from first principles.
