Unimodular theory of canonical quantum gravity
Physical Review D, 1989Einstein's theory of gravity is reformulated so that the cosmological constant becomes an integration constant of the theory, rather than a "coupling" constant. However, in the Hamiltonian form of the theory, the Hamiltonian constraint is missing, while the usual momentum constraints are still present.

Dirac’s theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems is first described, discussing in detail primary and secondary constraints, first-class and second-class constraints, Dirac brackets, effective Hamiltonian, total Hamiltonian and extended Hamiltonian. On quantization, the operator versions of first-class constraints become supplementary conditions on ...

Letting aside temporarily the possibility to unify all forces in a single consistent framework, a question one can ask oneself is whether quantum mechanics can resolve a particular singularity, such as the big bang or that inside a black hole.

Time and the interpretation of canonical quantum gravity
Physical Review D, 1989The unsatisfactory status of the interpretation of the wave function of the Universe in canonical quantum gravity is reviewed. The ``naive interpretation'' obtained by straightforwardly applying the standard interpretive rules to the canonical quantization of general relativity is manifestly unacceptable; the ``WKB interpretation'' has only a limited ...

Canonical Loop Quantum Gravity
This article presents a comprehensive and self-contained review of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), focusing on both its canonical (Hamiltonian) formulation and covariant (spin foam) path integral approach. Beginning with the reformulation of General Relativity using Ashtekar–Barbero variables, it systematically constructs the kinematical Hilbert space ...openaire +1 more source
A constraint on canonical quantum gravity?
Nature, 2003Gamma rays from the γ-ray burst (GRB) 021206 have been reported to be strongly linearly polarized1, with the estimated degree of polarization (80 ± 20%) being close to the absolute maximum of 100% — affording us the opportunity to constrain models of quantum gravity, which has had 1010 years to act on the photons as they travelled towards us.

Time and complex numbers in canonical quantum gravity
Physical Review D, 1993It is noted that not only time but also the imaginary unit is absent from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation (WDE), the basic equation of canonical quantum gravity. This leads to a severe problem in an attempt to recover the time-dependent Schrodinger equation from the WDE. It is suggested that the problem will be solved if the WDE is actually complex and not

Canonical Quantum Gravity and Effective Theory
2009Effective actions provide a powerful way to understand low-energy, semiclassical or other regimes of quantum field theories. Although canonical quantum gravity theories, such as loop quantum gravity, are not directly accessible to the usual techniques of computing effective actions, equivalent methods to derive an effective Hamiltonian and effective ...
