Quantum Space-time and Classical Gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
A method has been recently proposed for defining an arbitrary number of differential calculi over a given noncommutative associative algebra. As an example a version of quantized space-time is considered here. It is found that there is a natural differential calculus using which the space-time is necessarily flat Minkowski space-time. Perturbations of this calculus are shown to give rise to non-trivial gravitational fields.

Consistent Evolution with Different Time-Slicings in Quantum Gravity
Rovelli’s “ quantummechanics without time” motivates an intrinsically timeslicing independent picture of reduced phase space quantum gravity, which may be described as “quantization after evolution”. Sufficient criteria for carrying out quantization after evolution are developed in terms of a general concept of the classical limit of quantum mechanics. If these criteria are satisfied then it is...

متن کاملUnification of Quantum and Gravity by Non Classical Information Entropy Space
A quantum entropy space is suggested as the fundamental arena describing the quantum effects. In the quantum regime the entropy is expressed as the superposition of many different Boltzmann entropies that span the space of the entropies before any measure. When a measure is performed the quantum entropy collapses to one component. A suggestive reading of the relational interpretation of quantum...
متن کاملLoop Quantum Cosmology
Quantum gravity is expected to be necessary in order to understand situations where classical general relativity breaks down. In particular in cosmology one has to deal with initial singularities, i.e., the fact that the backward evolution of a classical space-time inevitably comes to an end after a finite amount of proper time. This presents a breakdown of the classical picture and requires an...
متن کاملClassical and Quantum Physical Geometry
The task of creating a quantum theory of gravity is compared with Einstein's creation of a relativistic theory of gravity. The philosophical and physical foundations of this theory are briefly reviewed. The Ehlers-Pirani-Schild scheme of operationally determining the geometry of space-time, using freely falling classical particle trajectories, is done using operations in an infinitesimal neighb...
متن کاملPhenomenological description of space - time foam
The expectation that it should not be possible to gain experimental insight on the structure of space-time at Planckian distance scales has been recently challenged by several studies. With respect to space-time fluctuations, one of the conjectured features of quantum-gravity foam, the experiments that have the best sensitivity are the ones which were originally devised for searches of the clas...
