  2. Loop quantum gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_quantum_gravity

    Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a theory of quantum gravity that incorporates matter of the Standard Model into the framework established for the intrinsic quantum gravity case. It is an attempt to develop a quantum theory of gravity based directly on Albert Einstein 's geometric formulation rather than the treatment of gravity as a mysterious ...

  3. Loop representation in gauge theories and quantum gravity

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_representation_in...

    In canonical quantum gravity the difficulties in using the continuous loop representation are cured by the spatial diffeomorphism invariance of general relativity. The loop representation also provides a natural solution of the spatial diffeomorphism constraint, making a connection between canonical quantum gravity and knot theory.

  4. Causal dynamical triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_dynamical_triangulation

    Causal dynamical triangulation (CDT), theorized by Renate Loll, Jan Ambjørn and Jerzy Jurkiewicz, is an approach to quantum gravity that, like loop quantum gravity, is background independent. This means that it does not assume any pre-existing arena (dimensional space) but, rather, attempts to show how the spacetime fabric itself evolves.

  5. Quantum gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_gravity

    Quantum gravity (QG) is a field of theoretical physics that seeks to describe gravity according to the principles of quantum mechanics.It deals with environments in which neither gravitational nor quantum effects can be ignored, [1] such as in the vicinity of black holes or similar compact astrophysical objects, as well as in the early stages of the universe moments after the Big Bang.

  6. Theory of everything - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything

    Current research on loop quantum gravity may eventually play a fundamental role in a theory of everything, but that is not its primary aim. [41] Loop quantum gravity also introduces a lower bound on the possible length scales. There have been recent claims that loop quantum gravity may be able to reproduce features resembling the Standard Model.

  7. Group field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_field_theory

    Group field theory (GFT) is a quantum field theory in which the base manifold is taken to be a Lie group.It is closely related to background independent quantum gravity approaches such as loop quantum gravity, the spin foam formalism and causal dynamical triangulation.

  9. Asymptotic safety in quantum gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_safety_in...

    It complies with the requirement of background independence, one of the fundamental tenets of quantum gravity. This work can be considered an essential breakthrough in asymptotic safety related studies on quantum gravity as it provides the possibility of nonperturbative computations for arbitrary spacetime dimensions.
