Constraining the loop quantum gravity parameter space from phenomenology

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2018
Development of quantum gravity theories rarely takes inputs from experimental physics. In this letter, we take a small step towards correcting this by establishing a paradigm for incorporating putative quantum corrections, arising from canonical quantum ...

A quantum reduction to spherical symmetry in loop quantum gravity

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2015
Based on a recent purely geometric construction of observables for the spatial diffeomorphism constraint, we propose two distinct quantum reductions to spherical symmetry within full 3+1-dimensional loop quantum gravity.

Research Status and Development Trend of Macromolecular Structure and Model Construction of Different Coals

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal is a natural macromolecular substance composed of complex organic molecules and a small amount of minerals. Its chemical composition and microstructure are highly complex and variable, and no unified definition exists. This inherent structural complexity underscores the theoretical significance of constructing accurate macromolecular ...

Quantization of Midisuperspace Models

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2010
We give a comprehensive review of the quantization of midisuperspace models. Though the main focus of the paper is on quantum aspects, we also provide an introduction to several classical points related to the definition of these models.

Discrete Gravity Models and Loop Quantum Gravity: a Short Review

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2012
We review the relation between Loop Quantum Gravity on a fixed graph and discrete models of gravity. We compare Regge and twisted geometries, and discuss discrete actions based on twisted geometries and on the discretization of the Plebanski action.

Quantum General Invariance and Loop Gravity

open access: yesFoundations of Physics, 2001
A quantum physical projector is proposed for generally covariant theories which are derivable from a Lagrangian. The projector is the quantum analogue of the integral over the generators of finite one-parameter subgroups of the gauge symmetry transformations which are connected to the identity.
