We overcome one of Bell's objections to `quantum measurement' by generalizing the definition to include systems outside the laboratory. According to this definition a {\sl generalized quantum measurement} takes place when the value of a…
A mathematical framework for relativistic quantum field theory is constructed with natural symmetry $\mathsf{so}(2,3)= \mathsf{sp}(2,\mathbb{ R})$. In this framework gravity and electromagnetism unify as aspects of the geometry. The source…
In this paper is considered a generalized quantization principle for the gravitational field in canonical quantum gravity, especially with respect to quantum geometrodynamics. This assumption can be interpreted as a transfer from the…
Gravity is derived from an entropic action coupling matter fields with geometry. The fundamental idea is to relate the metric of Lorentzian spacetime to a quantum operator, playing the role of an renormalizable effective density matrix and…
In general, a global and unique vacuum state cannot be constructed for a curved space. As a remedy, we introduce a curved space background geometry with a Minkowski metric tensor and locally non-zero curvature and torsion. Based on this…
Any metric theory of gravity whose interaction with quantum particles is described by a covariant wave equation is equivalent to a vector theory that satisfies Maxwell-type equations identically. This result does not depend on any…
We show that under certain technical assumptions, including the existence of a constant mean curvature (CMC) slice and strict positivity of the scalar field, general relativity conformally coupled to a scalar field can be quantised on a…
The Quantum Stochastic Limit of a quantum mechanical particle coupled to a quantum field without the neglect of the response details of the interaction (i.e. not making the dipole approximation) is made following the treatment of Accardi…
The geometric quantization problem is considered from the point of view of the Davies and Lewis approach to quantum mechanics. The influence of the measuring device is accounted in the classical and quantum case and it is shown that the…
The question whether quantum measurements reflect some underlying objective reality has no generally accepted answer. We show that description of such reality is possible under natural conditions such as linearity and causality, although in…
Area metric manifolds emerge as effective classical backgrounds in quantum string theory and quantum gauge theory, and present a true generalization of metric geometry. Here, we consider area metric manifolds in their own right, and develop…
The concept of freely falling frames suggests that gravity exhibits a local Lorentz gauge symmetry and requires a background Minkowski reference frame. The gauge vector fields of a Yang-Mills-type theory can be constructed from the…
We construct perturbative quantum gravity in a generally covariant way. In particular our construction is background independent. It is based on the locally covariant approach to quantum field theory and the renormalized Batalin-Vilkovisky…
We show that in doubling, geodesic metric measure spaces (including, for example, Euclidean space), sets of positive measure have a certain large-scale metric density property. As an application, we prove that a set of positive measure in…
A gauge theory of quantum gravity is formulated, in which an internal, field dependent metric is introduced which non-linearly realizes the gauge fields on the non-compact group $SL(2,C)$, while linearly realizing them on $SU(2)$.…
We study the degrees of freedom of the metric in a general class of higher derivative gravity models, which are interesting in the context of quantum gravity as they are (super)renormalizable. First, we linearize the theory for a flat…
Each approach to the quantum-gravity problem originates from expertise in one or another area of theoretical physics. The particle-physics perspective encourages one to attempt to reproduce in quantum gravity as much as possible of the…
In a previous work General Relativity has been presented as a microscopic theory of finite and discrete point-like fields that we associate to a classical description of gravitons. The standard macroscopic continuous field is retrieved as…
