Beyond the Standard Model with Six-Dimensional Spinors

open access: yesParticles, 2023
Six-dimensional spinors with Spin(3,3) symmetry are utilized to efficiently encode three generations of matter. E8(−24) is shown to contain physically relevant subgroups with representations for GUT groups, spacetime symmetries, three generations of the ...

No presentism in quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This essay offers a reaction to the recent resurgence of presentism in the philosophy of time. What is of particular interest in this renaissance is that a number of recent arguments supporting presentism are crafted in an untypically naturalistic vein ...

Quasicrystalline spin foam with matter: definitions and examples

open access: yesAcademia Quantum
In this work, we define quasicrystalline spin networks as a subspace within the standard Hilbert space of loop quantum gravity, effectively constraining the states to coherent states that align with quasicrystal geometry structures.

A locally finite model for gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Matter interacting classically with gravity in 3+1 dimensions usually gives rise to a continuum of degrees of freedom, so that, in any attempt to quantize the theory, ultraviolet divergences are nearly inevitable.

Dynamical Properties of the Mukhanov-Sasaki Hamiltonian in the Context of Adiabatic Vacua and the Lewis-Riesenfeld Invariant

open access: yesUniverse, 2019
We use the method of the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant to analyze the dynamical properties of the Mukhanov-Sasaki Hamiltonian and, following this approach, investigate whether we can obtain possible candidates for initial states in the context of inflation ...

Spread complexity and topological transitions in the Kitaev chain

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
A number of recent works have argued that quantum complexity, a well-known concept in computer science that has re-emerged recently in the context of the physics of black holes, may be used as an efficient probe of novel phenomena such as quantum chaos ...

The emergence of spacetime, or, quantum gravity on your desktop [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Is there an approach to quantum gravity which is conceptually simple, relies on very few fundamental physical principles and ingredients, emphasizes geometric (as opposed to algebraic) properties, comes with a definite numerical approximation scheme, and

Æther as an Inevitable Consequence of Quantum Gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The fact that quantum gravity does not admit an invariant vacuum state has far-reaching consequences for all physics. It points out that space could not be empty, and we return to the notion of an æther.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Chiral Loop Quantum Supergravity and Black Hole Entropy

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
Recent work has shown that local supersymmetry on a spacetime boundary in N-extended AdS supergravity in chiral variables implies coupling to a boundary OSp(N|2)C super Chern–Simons theory.
