Quantum Gravity as Topological Quantum Field Theory
The physics of quantum gravity is discussed within the framework of topological quantum field theory. Some of the principles are illustrated with examples taken from theories in which space-time is three dimensional.
متن کاملGravity-wave interferometers as probes of a low-energy effective quantum gravity
The interferometry-based experimental tests of quantum properties of space-time which the author sketched out in a recent short paper are here discussed in a self-contained fashion. In addition to providing detailed derivations of the results already announced in the previous paper, some new results are also derived; in particular, the analysis is extended to a larger class of scenarios for spa...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity as a quantum field theory of simplicial geometry
This is an introduction to the group field theory approach to quantum gravity, with emphasis on motivations and basic formalism, more than on recent results; we elaborate on the various ingredients, both conceptual and formal, of the approach, giving some examples, and we discuss some perspectives of future developments.
متن کاملLow-energy quantum gravity
If gravitons are super-strong interacting particles and the lowtemperature graviton background exists, the basic cosmological conjecture about the Dopplerian nature of redshifts may be false. In this case, a full magnitude of cosmological redshift would be caused by interactions of photons with gravitons. Non-forehead collisions with gravitons will lead to a very specific additional relaxation ...
متن کاملQuantum gravity as a consistent local field theory
We show that the Einstein-Hilbert action for the gravitational field can be derived as a linear low-energy approximation for the dynamical massless fields in the theory with the lagrangian quadratic in the gauge field strength-tensor of spin connection under the spontaneous breaking of symmetry by a vacuum state with nontrivial background strength-tension.
