Gravity as a quantum effect on quantum space-time

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The 3+1-dimensional Einstein-Hilbert action is obtained from the 1-loop effective action on noncommutative branes in the IIB or IKKT matrix model. The presence of compact fuzzy extra dimensions calK as well as maximal supersymmetry of the model is essential. The E-H action can be interpreted as interaction of calK with the space-time brane via IIB supergravity, and the effective Newton constant is determined by the Kaluza-Klein scale of calK. The bare matrix model defines a pre-gravity action with 2 derivatives less than the induced E-H action, governing the cosmological regime. The perturbative physics is confined to the space-time brane, which for covariant quantum space-times includes all dof of gravity, as well as a tower of higher-spin modes. The vacuum energy is given in terms of the symplectic volume form, and hence does not act as cosmological constant.
