Spin-compatible construction of a consistent quantum gravity model from minimum information
Abstract
This article shows in detail the computations made for the poster presented at the Symposium "Frontiers of Fundamental Physics" in July 2014. As was shown in a previous publication, a quantum gravity formulation exists on the basis of abstract quantum number conservation, the laws of thermodynamics, unspecific interactions, and locally maximising the ratio of resulting degrees of freedom per imposed degree of freedom of the theory. The first law of thermodynamics was evaluated by imposing boundary conditions on small volumes of optimised dimension (3+1). As a consequence, no explicit microscopic quantum structure was required in order to recover all well established physics as special cases (Quantum Field Theory, QFT, and General Relativity, GR) and compute all measurable quantities. This article presents the generalised action in terms of tetrads and shows how this action may be related to the spin of generalised matter fields, especially for fermionic matter.

Comments
9 pages, detailed information in relation to the poster presented at the Symposium "Frontiers of Fundamental Physic" in July 2014. v2: "Tetrad bath" instead of "stress bath"; cleaner notation of boundary integrals; use of Gauss' law and S properly decomposed into generalised Palatini + torsion terms
