Geometrization Versus Transcendent Matter: A Systematic Historiography of Theories of Matter Following Weyl [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This article investigates an intertwined systematic and historical view on theories of matter. It follows an approach brought forward by Hermann Weyl around 1925, applies it to recent theories of matter in physics (including geometrodynamics and quantum ...

Toward a Background Independent Quantum Theory of Gravity

open access: yes, 2004
Any canonical quantum theory can be understood to arise from the compatibility of the statistical geometry of distinguishable observations with the canonical Poisson structure of Hamiltonian dynamics. This geometric perspective offers a novel, background

Quantum Gravity: Has Spacetime Quantum Properties? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The incompatibility between GR and QM is generally seen as a sufficient motivation for the development of a theory of Quantum Gravity. If - so a typical argumentation - QM gives a universally valid basis for the description of all natural systems, then ...

Emergent Gravity requires (kinematic) non-locality

open access: yes, 2014
This work refines arguments forbidding non-linear dynamical gravity from appearing in the low energy effective description of field theories with local kinematics, even for those with instantaneous long-range interactions.

Holographic and Wilsonian Renormalization Groups

open access: yes, 2011
We develop parallels between the holographic renormalization group in the bulk and the Wilsonian renormalization group in the dual field theory. Our philosophy differs from most previous work on the holographic RG; the most notable feature is the key ...

Apparent horizon and gravitational thermodynamics of the Universe: Solutions to the temperature and entropy confusions, and extensions to modified gravity

open access: yes, 2015
The thermodynamics of the Universe is restudied by requiring its compatibility with the holographic-style gravitational equations which govern the dynamics of both the cosmological apparent horizon and the entire Universe, and possible solutions are ...

Can Hamiltonians be boundary observables in Parametrized Field Theories?

open access: yes, 2010
It has been argued that holography in gravitational theories is related to the existence of a particularly useful Gauss Law that allows energy to be measured at the boundary.

Distribution function of the Atoms of Spacetime and the Nature of Gravity

open access: yes, 2015
The fact that the equations of motion for matter remain invariant when a constant is added to the Lagrangian suggests postulating that the field equations of gravity should also respect this symmetry. This principle implies that: (1) the metric cannot be
