Quantum Gravity without General Relativity
The quantum field theory of gravitation is constructed in terms of Lagrangian density of Dirac fields which couple to the electromagnetic field Aμ as well as the gravitational field G. The gravity appears in the mass term as m(1+gG)ψ̄ψ with the coupling constant of g. In addition to the gravitational force between fermions, the electromagnetic field Aμ interacts with the gravity as the fourth or...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity and Spacetime Symmetries
Small violations of spacetime symmetries have recently been identified as promising Planck-scale signals. This talk reviews how such violations can arise in various approaches to quantum gravity, how the emergent low-energy effects can be described within the framework of relativistic effective field theories, how suitable tests can be identified, and what sensitivities can be expected in curre...
متن کاملClassical Spacetime from Quantum Gravity
We show how classical spacetime emerges from quantum gravity through the study of a quantum FRW cosmological model coupled to a free massive scalar field using a new asymptotic expansion method of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. It is shown that the coherent states of the nonadiabatic basis of a particular generalized invariant give rise to the quantum back reaction of matter field proportional to...
متن کاملThe Accurate Tests of General Relativity Verified Flat Spacetime —-flat-spacetime Covariant Gravity, Its Quantization and Solar Application
Only when space is flat does there exist one coordinate system which has direct meaning of distances or angles, and if one coordinate system has direct meaning of distances or angles then the space must be flat. This is the famous Riemann theorem when he pioneered the concept of curved space. General relativity (GR) claims curved spacetime. However, when testing GR with data, all relativists co...
متن کاملQuantum and General Relativity Theories
Two of Lanczos’ seminal contributions in physics that are not generally known about in the physics community are discussed and commented in relation to more recent investigations: First, his integral formulation of the Schrödinger equation that he published just before Schrödinger himself published his differential equation formulation of quantum mechanics, and, second, his solution to the prob...
