  2. Loop quantum cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_quantum_cosmology

    Since LQG is based on a specific quantum theory of Riemannian geometry, [6] [7] geometric observables display a fundamental discreteness that play a key role in quantum dynamics: While predictions of LQC are very close to those of quantum geometrodynamics (QGD) away from the Planck regime, there is a dramatic difference once densities and ...

  3. General relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity

    This suggests the definition of a new class of inertial motion, namely that of objects in free fall under the influence of gravity. This new class of preferred motions, too, defines a geometry of space and time—in mathematical terms, it is the geodesic motion associated with a specific connection which depends on the gradient of the ...

  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. Entropic gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropic_gravity

    The theory claims to be consistent with both the macro-level observations of Newtonian gravity as well as Einstein's theory of general relativity and its gravitational distortion of spacetime. Importantly, the theory also explains (without invoking the existence of dark matter and tweaking of its new free parameters ) why galactic rotation ...

    The gauge-invariant perturbation theory is based on developments by Bardeen (1980), [7] Kodama and Sasaki (1984) [8] building on the work of Lifshitz (1946). [9] This is the standard approach to perturbation theory of general relativity for cosmology. [10]

  9. Induced gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_gravity

    Induced gravity (or emergent gravity) is an idea in quantum gravity that spacetime curvature and its dynamics emerge as a mean field approximation of underlying microscopic degrees of freedom, similar to the fluid mechanics approximation of Bose–Einstein condensates. The concept was originally proposed by Andrei Sakharov in 1967.
