Coarse graining spin foam quantum gravity—a review

S Steinhaus - Frontiers in Physics, 2020 - frontiersin.org
In quantum gravity, we envision renormalization as the key tool for bridging the gap between
microscopic models and observable scales. For spin foam quantum gravity, which is defined …

Canonical quantum gravity, constructive qft, and renormalisation

T Thiemann - Frontiers in Physics, 2020 - frontiersin.org
The canonical approach to quantum gravity has been put on a firm mathematical foundation
in the recent decades. Even the quantum dynamics can be rigorously defined, however, due …

Group field theory as the second quantization of loop quantum gravity

D Oriti - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We construct a second quantized reformulation of canonical loop quantum gravity (LQG) at
both kinematical and dynamical level, in terms of a Fock space of spin networks, and show …

Homogeneous cosmologies as group field theory condensates

S Gielen, D Oriti, L Sindoni - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We give a general procedure, in the group field theory (GFT) formalism for quantum
gravity, for constructing states that describe macroscopic, spatially homogeneous universes …

Emergent Friedmann dynamics with a quantum bounce from quantum gravity condensates

D Oriti, L Sindoni, E Wilson-Ewing - Classical and Quantum …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the effective cosmological dynamics, emerging as the hydrodynamics of simple
condensate states, of a group field theory (GFT) model for quantum gravity coupled to a …

Gauge-invariant implementation of the Abelian-Higgs model on optical lattices

A Bazavov, Y Meurice, SW Tsai, J Unmuth-Yockey… - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We present a gauge-invariant effective action for the Abelian-Higgs model (scalar
electrodynamics) with a chemical potential μ on a (1+ 1)-dimensional lattice. This …

Numerical evidence for a phase transition in 4d spin-foam quantum gravity

B Bahr, S Steinhaus - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
Building on recent advances in defining Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) flows, and
the notion of scales in particular, for background-independent theories, we present a first …

The continuum limit of loop quantum gravity-a framework for solving the theory

B Dittrich - Loop quantum gravity: the first, 2017 - books.google.com
As explained in Chapter 1, loop quantum gravity has provided a rigorous nonperturbative
framework, in which to formulate the dynamics of quantum gravity. It allowed fascinating …

Functional renormalisation group approach for tensorial group field theory: a rank-3 model

D Benedetti, JB Geloun, D Oriti - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract We set up the Functional Renormalisation Group formalism for Tensorial Group
Field Theory in full generality. We then apply it to a rank-3 model over U (1) 3, endowed with …
