The Immirzi parameter in quantum general relativity

open access: yes, 1997
Barbero has generalized the Ashtekar canonical transformation to a one-parameter scale transformation $U(\iota)$ on the phase space of general relativity.

Relational Observables in Gravity: a Review

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2012
We present an overview on relational observables in gravity mainly from a loop quantum gravity perspective. The gauge group of general relativity is the diffeomorphism group of the underlying manifold.

The Holst spin foam model via cubulations

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2012
Spin foam models are an attempt at a covariant or path integral formulation of canonical loop quantum gravity. The construction of such models usually relies on the Plebanski formulation of general relativity as a constrained BF theory and is based on ...

Symmetric configurations highlighted by collective quantum coherence

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017
Recent developments in quantum gravity have shown the Lorentzian treatment to be a fruitful approach towards the emergence of macroscopic space-times. In this paper, we discuss another related aspect of the Lorentzian treatment: we argue that collective ...

Causal Loop Quantum Gravity and Cosmological Solutions

open access: yes, 2004
We shall present here the causal interpretation of canonical quantum gravity in terms of new variables. Then we shall apply it to the minisuperspace of cosmology.

Symplectic Structure of Intrinsic Time Gravity

open access: yesUniverse, 2016
The Poisson structure of intrinsic time gravity is analysed. With the starting point comprising a unimodular three-metric with traceless momentum, a trace-induced anomaly results upon quantization.

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 ...

Tunnelling to holographic traversable wormholes

open access: yesSciPost Physics
We study nonperturbative effects of quantum gravity in a system consisting of a coupled pair of holographic CFTs. The AdS$_4$/CFT$_3$ system has three possible ground states: two copies of empty AdS, a pair of extremal AdS black holes, and an eternal AdS
