Canonical Gravity with Fermions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Canonical gravity in real Ashtekar–Barbero variables is generalized to allow for fermionic matter. The resulting torsion changes several expressions in Holst's original vacuum analysis, which are explicitly displayed here. This in turn requires adaptations to the known canonical (loop) quantization of gravity coupled to fermions, which is discussed on the basis of the classical analysis.

Global Anomalies in Canonical Gravity
In this note we study the structure of diffeomorphism anomalies in 3 + 1 canonical gravity coupled to a chiral massless fermion. We find that when the spatial manifold Σ is S3 or a Lens space L(p, q) , the first homotopy group of the related diffeomorphism group can be nontrivial and hence the question of global anomalies becomes relevant. Here we show that for gravity coupled to SU(2) chiral f...
متن کاملFermions and Emergent Noncommutative Gravity
Fermions coupled to Yang-Mills matrix models are studied from the point of view of emergent gravity. We show that the simple matrix model action provides an appropriate coupling for fermions to gravity, albeit with a nonstandard spin connection. Integrating out the fermions in a nontrivial geometrical background induces indeed the Einstein-Hilbert action and a dilaton-like term, at least for on...
متن کاملFermion helicity flip in weak gravitational fields.
The helicity flip of a spin2 Dirac particle interacting gravitationally with a scalar field is analyzed in the context of linearized quantum gravity. It is shown that massive fermions may have their helicity flipped by gravity, in opposition to massless fermions which preserve their helicity. 04.20.Cv, 04.60.+n Typeset using REVTEX 1 The behavior of a spinning particle in a gravitational field ...
متن کاملFermions Coupled to Emergent Noncommutative Gravity
We study the coupling of fermions to Yang-Mills matrix models in the framework of emergent noncommutative gravity. It is shown that the matrix model action provides an appropriate coupling for fermions to gravity, albeit with a non-standard spin-connection. Integrating out the fermions in a nontrivial geometrical background induces indeed the Einstein-Hilbert action for on-shell geometries plus...
متن کاملA Study of Fermions Coupled to Gauge and Gravitational Fields on a Cylinder
Fermions on a cylinder coupled to gravity and gauge fields are examined by studying the geometric action associated with the symmetries of such a system. The gauge coupling constant is shown to be constrained and the effect of gravity on the masses is discussed. Furthermore, we introduce a new gravitational theory which couples to the fermions by promoting the coadjoint vector of the diffeomorp...
