Scalar Material Reference Systems and Loop Quantum Gravity
- K. Giesel, T. Thiemann
- Physics
- 17 June 2012
In the past, the possibility to employ (scalar) material reference systems in order to describe classical and quantum gravity directly in terms of gauge invariant (Dirac) observables has been…
Algebraic quantum gravity (AQG): IV. Reduced phase space quantization of loop quantum gravity
- K. Giesel, T. Thiemann
- Physics
- 1 November 2007
We perform a canonical, reduced phase space quantization of general relativity by loop quantum gravity (LQG) methods. The explicit construction of the reduced phase space is made possible by the…
Consistency Check on Volume and Triad Operator Quantisation in Loop Quantum Gravity II
- K. Giesel, T. Thiemann
- Physics
- 8 July 2005
In this paper, we provide the techniques and proofs for the results presented in our companion paper concerning the consistency check on volume and triad operator quantization in loop quantum gravity.
Gravity quantized: Loop quantum gravity with a scalar field
- Marcin Domagala, K. Giesel, W. Kamiński, J. Lewandowski
- Physics, Geology
- 13 September 2010
...''but we do not have quantum gravity.'' This phrase is often used when analysis of a physical problem enters the regime in which quantum gravity effects should be taken into account. In fact,…
Manifestly gauge-invariant general relativistic perturbation theory: I. Foundations
- K. Giesel, S. Hofmann, T. Thiemann, O. Winkler
- Physics
- 1 November 2007
Linear cosmological perturbation theory is pivotal to a theoretical understanding of current cosmological experimental data provided e.g. by cosmic microwave anisotropy probes. A key issue in that…
From Classical To Quantum Gravity: Introduction to Loop Quantum Gravity
- K. Giesel, H. Sahlmann
- Physics
- 13 March 2012
We present an introduction to the canonical quantization of gravity performed in loop quantum gravity, based on lectures held at the 3rd quantum geometry and quantum gravity school in Zakopane in…
Algebraic Quantum Gravity (AQG). I. Conceptual Setup
- K. Giesel, T. Thiemann
- Physics
- 23 July 2006
We introduce a new top down approach to canonical quantum gravity, called algebraic quantum gravity (AQG). The quantum kinematics of AQG is determined by an abstract *-algebra generated by a…
Algebraic quantum gravity (AQG): II. Semiclassical analysis
- K. Giesel, T. Thiemann
- Physics, Mathematics
- 23 July 2006
In the previous paper (Giesel and Thiemann 2006 Conceptual setup Preprint gr-qc/0607099) a new combinatorial and thus purely algebraical approach to quantum gravity, called algebraic quantum gravity…
LTB spacetimes in terms of Dirac observables
- K. Giesel, J. Tambornino, T. Thiemann
- Physics, Mathematics
- 2 June 2009
The construction of Dirac observables, that is gauge invariant objects, in General Relativity is technically more complicated than in other gauge theories such as the standard model due to its more…
Algebraic quantum gravity (AQG): III. Semiclassical perturbation theory
- K. Giesel, T. Thiemann
- Mathematics
- 23 July 2006
In the two previous papers of this series we defined a new combinatorical approach to quantum gravity, Algebraic Quantum Gravity (AQG). We showed that AQG reproduces the correct infinitesimal…
