The dynamics of cosmological scenarios inspired by quantum gravity [PDF]
, 2006 PhDIn this thesis we study the dynamics of cosmological scenarios inspired by quantum gravity. Part I investigates novel features of the semi-classical regime of homogeneous and isotropic loop quantum cosmology.

Benefits of Objective Collapse Models for Cosmology and Quantum Gravity [PDF]
, 2013 We display a number of advantages of objective collapse theories for the resolution of long-standing problems in cosmology and quantum gravity. In particular, we examine applications of objective reduction models to three important issues: the origin of ...

Quantum Gravity: Motivations and Alternatives [PDF]
, 2009 The mutual conceptual incompatibility between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics / Quantum Field Theory is generally seen as the most essential motivation for the development of a theory of Quantum Gravity.

The price of curiosity: information recovery in de Sitter space
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Recent works have revealed that quantum extremal islands can contribute to the fine-grained entropy of black hole radiation reproducing the unitary Page curve.

The phase structure of causal dynamical triangulations with toroidal spatial topology
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We investigate the impact of topology on the phase structure of fourdimensional Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT). Using numerical Monte Carlo simulations we study CDT with toroidal spatial topology.

Effective gravitational action for 2D massive fermions
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We work out the effective gravitational action for 2D massive Euclidean fermions in a small mass expansion. Besides the leading Liouville action, the order m 2 gravitational action contains a piece characteristic of the Mabuchi action, much as for 2D ...

SPACETIME OR QUANTUM PARTICLES: THE ONTOLOGY OF QUANTUM GRAVITY? [PDF]
, 1996 The domains of quantum theory and general relativity overlap in situations where quantum mechanical effects cannot be ignored. In order to deal with this overlap of theoretical domains, there has been a tendency to apply the rules of quantum field theory

The two-sphere partition function from timelike Liouville theory at three-loop order
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 While the Euclidean two-dimensional gravitational path integral is in general highly fluctuating, it admits a semiclassical two-sphere saddle if coupled to a matter CFT with large and positive central charge. In Weyl gauge this gravity theory is known as

Spacetime and the Philosophical Challenge of Quantum Gravity [PDF]
, 2001 We survey some philosophical aspects of the search for a quantum theory of gravity, emphasising how quantum gravity throws into doubt the treatment of spacetime common to the two `ingredient theories' (quantum theory and general relativity), as a 4 ...

From Quantum Codes to Gravity: A Journey of Gravitizing Quantum Mechanics
, 2021 In this note, I review a recent approach to quantum gravity that “gravitizes” quantum mechanics by emerging geometry and gravity from complex quantum states.
