A First Class Constraint Generates Not a Gauge Transformation, But a Bad Physical Change: The Case of Electromagnetism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In Dirac-Bergmann constrained dynamics, a first-class constraint typically does not _alone_ generate a gauge transformation. By direct calculation it is found that each first-class constraint in Maxwell's theory generates a change in the electric field ...

In search of lost spacetime: philosophical issues arising in quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper issues a call to arms and seeks to entice the reader with some of the most captivating philosophical puzzles arising in quantum gravity. The analysis will be prefaced, in Section 1, by general considerations concerning the need for finding a ...

On Time in Quantum Physics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
First, I briefly review the different conceptions of time held by three rival interpretations of quantum theory: the collapse of the wave-packet, the pilot-wave interpretation, and the Everett interpretation (Section 2).

Uplifting AdS3/CFT2 to flat space holography

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
Four-dimensional (4D) flat Minkowski space admits a foliation by hyperbolicslices. Euclidean AdS3 slices fill the past and future lightcones of the origin, while dS3 slices fill the region outside the lightcone.

Covariant Quantum Gravity I: Covariant Hamiltonian Framework

open access: yes, 2016
The first part of the series formulates the Einstein-Cartan theory in the covariant hamiltonian framework. The first section revises the general multisymplectic approach and introduces the notion of the d-jet bundles. Since the whole Standard Model Lagrangian (including gravity) can be written as the functional of the forms, the structure of the d-jet ...

Covariant Pauli-Villars regularization of quantum gravity at the one-loop order [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 1993
We study a regularization of the Pauli-Villars kind of the one loop gravitational divergences in any dimension. The Pauli-Villars fields are massive particles coupled to gravity in a covariant and nonminimal way, namely one real tensor and one complex vector.

Generative flow networks in covariant loop quantum gravity

open access: yesPhysical Review D
Spin foams arose as the covariant (path integral) formulation of quantum gravity depicting transition amplitudes between different quantum geometry states. As such, they provide a scheme to study the no boundary proposal, specifically the nothing to something transition and compute relevant observables using high performance computing (HPC).
