Quantum gravity on a square graph

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider functional-integral quantisation of the moduli of all quantum metrics defined as square-lengths a on the edges of a Lorentzian square graph. We determine correlation functions and find a fixed relative uncertainty Deltaa/<a>=1/sqrt8 for the edge square-lengths relative to their expected value <a>. The expected value of the geometry is a rectangle where parallel edges have the same square-length. We compare with the simpler theory of a quantum scalar field on such a rectangular background. We also look at quantum metric fluctuations relative to a rectangular background, a theory which is finite and interpolates between the scalar theory and the fully fluctuating theory.
