Analogue spacetimes: toy models for "quantum gravity'' [PDF]

open access: hybridProceedings of From Quantum to Emergent Gravity: Theory and Phenomenology — PoS(QG-Ph), 2008
Why are "analogue spacetimes'' interesting? For the purposes of this workshop the answer is simple: Analogue spacetimes provide one with physically well-defined and physically well-understood concrete models of many of the phenomena that seem to be part of the yet incomplete theory of "quantum gravity'', or more accessibly, "quantum gravity ...

Black-hole models in loop quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: greenUniverse, 2020
Dynamical black-hole scenarios have been developed in loop quantum gravity in various ways, combining results from mini and midisuperspace models. In the past, the underlying geometry of space-time has often been expressed in terms of line elements with metric components that differ from the classical solutions of general relativity, motivated by ...

A model of quantum gravity with emergent spacetime [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Abstract We construct a model of quantum gravity in which dimension, topology and geometry of spacetime are dynamical. The microscopic degree of freedom is a real rectangular matrix whose rows label internal flavours, and columns label spatial sites. In the limit that the size of the matrix is large, the sites can collectively form

Emergent time, cosmological constant and boundary dimension at infinity in combinatorial quantum gravity

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
Combinatorial quantum gravity is governed by a discrete Einstein-Hilbert action formulated on an ensemble of random graphs. There is strong evidence for a second-order quantum phase transition separating a random phase at strong coupling from an ordered,

Lorentzian quantum gravity via Pachner moves: one-loop evaluation

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
Lorentzian quantum gravity is believed to cure the pathologies encountered in Euclidean quantum gravity, such as the conformal factor problem. We show that this is the case for the Lorentzian Regge path integral expanded around a flat background.

Solvable model for quantum gravity? [PDF]

open access: yesClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2013
We study a type of geometric theory with a non-dynamical one-form field. Its dynamical variables are an $su(2)$ gauge field and a triad of $su(2)$ valued one-forms. Hamiltonian decomposition reveals that the theory has a true Hamiltonian, together with spatial diffeomorphism and Gauss law constraints, which generate the only local symmetries.

Effective de Sitter space, quantum behaviour and large-scale spectral dimension (3+1)

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
De Sitter space-time, essentially our own universe, is plagued by problems at the quantum level. Here we propose that Lorentzian de Sitter space-time is not fundamental but constitutes only an effective description of a more fundamental quantum gravity ...

From quantum groups to Liouville and dilaton quantum gravity

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We investigate the underlying quantum group symmetry of 2d Liouville and dilaton gravity models, both consolidating known results and extending them to the cases with N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supersymmetry.
