A Covariant Polymerized Scalar Field in Semi-Classical Loop Quantum Gravity [PDF]
Universe, 2022 We propose a new polymerization scheme for scalar fields coupled to gravity. It has the advantage of being a (non-bijective) canonical transformation of the fields, and therefore ensures the covariance of the theory.

Living Reviews in Relativity, 2008 The problem of describing the quantum behavior of gravity, and thus understanding quantum spacetime, is still open. Loop quantum gravity is a well-developed approach to this problem. It is a mathematically well-defined background-independent quantization

Relativistic Planck-scale polymer
Physics Letters B, 2017 Polymer quantum mechanics has been studied as a simplified picture that reflects some of the key properties of Loop Quantum Gravity; however, while the fate of relativistic symmetries in Loop Quantum Gravity is still not established, it is usually ...

Living Reviews in Relativity, 1998 The problem of finding the quantum theory of the gravitational field, and thus understanding what is quantum spacetime, is still open. One of the most active of the current approaches is loop quantum gravity. Loop quantum gravity is a mathematically well-

Perturbatively exact w 1+∞ asymptotic symmetry of quantum self-dual gravity
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 The infinite tower of positive-helicity soft gravitons in any minimally coupled, tree-level, asymptotically flat four-dimensional (4D) gravity was recently shown to generate a w 1+∞ asymptotic symmetry algebra. It is natural to ask whether this classical

Does the Loop Quantum μo Scheme Permit Black Hole Formation?
Universe, 2021 We explore the way different loop quantization prescriptions affect the formation of trapped surfaces in the gravitational collapse of a homogeneous dust cloud, with particular emphasis on the so-called μo scheme in which loop quantum cosmology was ...

Loop Quantum Black Hole Extensions Within the Improved Dynamics
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 We continue our investigation of an improved quantization scheme for spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity. We find that in the region where the black hole singularity appears in the classical theory, the quantum theory contains semi-classical ...

Realization of Dirac quantization in loop quantum gravity
Physics Letters B, 2023 The system of gravity coupled to the non-rotational dust field is studied at both classical and quantum levels. The scalar constraint of the system can be written in the form of a true physical Hamiltonian with respect to the dust time.

On Propagation in Loop Quantum Gravity
Universe, 2022 A rigorous implementation of the Wheeler–Dewitt equations was derived in the context of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) and was coined Quantum Spin Dynamics (QSD). The Hamiltonian constraint of QSD was criticised as being too local and to prevent “propagation”
