Epistemology of Loop Quantum Gravity in the Context of Canonical Quantum Gravity

open access: hybridCunoașterea Științifică
In the quest to comprehend the fundamental nature of the universe, physicists have delved into the realms of quantum mechanics and general relativity. However, joining these two pillars of modern physics into a unified framework has been a longstanding challenge.

Relational Lorentzian Asymptotically Safe Quantum Gravity: Showcase Model

open access: yesUniverse
In a recent contribution, we identified possible points of contact between the asymptotically safe and canonical approaches to quantum gravity. The idea is to start from the reduced phase space (often called relational) formulation of canonical quantum ...

Some surprising implications of background independence in canonical quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: green, 2009
There is a precise sense in which the requirement of background independence suffices to uniquely select the kinematics of loop quantum gravity (LQG). Specifically, the fundamental kinematic algebra of LQG admits a unique diffeomorphism invariant state ...

The canonical ensemble reloaded: the complex-stability of Euclidean quantum gravity for black holes in a box [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We revisit the stability of black hole saddles for the Euclidean path integral describing the canonical partition function Z ( β ) for gravity inside a spherical reflecting cavity.

Are there ALPs in the asymptotically safe landscape?

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We investigate axion-like particles (ALPs) in the context of asymptotically safe gravity-matter systems. The ALP-photon interaction, which facilitates experimental searches for ALPs, is a dimension-5-operator.

Time in Quantum Cosmology

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Time in quantum gravity is not a well-defined notion despite its central role in the very definition of dynamics. Using the formalism of quantum geometrodynamics, we briefly review the problem and illustrate it with two proposed solutions.

Detecting deformed commutators with exceptional points in optomechanical sensors

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2021
Models of quantum gravity imply a modification of the canonical position-momentum commutation relations. In this paper, working with a binary mechanical system, we examine the effect of quantum gravity on the exceptional points of the system.

MONDified gravity

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2023
A new class of modified gravity theories, made possible by subtle features of the canonical formulation of general covariance, naturally allows MOND-like behavior (MOdified Newtonian Dynamics) in effective space-time solutions without introducing new ...
