Quantum gravity from causal dynamical triangulations: a review

R Loll - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
This topical review gives a comprehensive overview and assessment of recent results in
causal dynamical triangulations, a modern formulation of lattice gravity, whose aim is to …

[HTML][HTML] Critical reflections on asymptotically safe gravity

A Bonanno, A Eichhorn, H Gies, JM Pawlowski… - Frontiers in …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Asymptotic safety is a theoretical proposal for the ultraviolet completion of quantum field
theories, in particular for quantum gravity. Significant progress on this program has led to a …

Spacetime foam: a review

S Carlip - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
More than 65 years ago, John Wheeler suggested that quantum uncertainties of the metric
would be of order one at the Planck scale, leading to large fluctuations in spacetime …

Why quantum gravity?

C Kiefer - Approaches to Fundamental Physics: An Assessment …, 2007 - Springer
Quantum theory seems to be a universal framework for physical theories. In fact, most of the
interactions found in Nature are already successfully accommodated into this framework …

Nonperturbative quantum gravity

J Ambjørn, A Görlich, J Jurkiewicz, R Loll - Physics Reports, 2012 - Elsevier
Asymptotic safety describes a scenario in which general relativity can be quantized as a
conventional field theory, despite being nonrenormalizable when expanding it around a …

Lorentzian quantum gravity and the graviton spectral function

J Fehre, DF Litim, JM Pawlowski, M Reichert - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We present the first direct and nonperturbative computation of the graviton spectral function
in quantum gravity. This is achieved with the help of a novel Lorentzian renormalization …

Gravity's rainbow

J Magueijo, L Smolin - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
Nonlinear special relativity (or doubly special relativity) is a simple framework for encoding
properties of flat quantum spacetime. In this paper, we show how this formalism may be …

[HTML][HTML] Quantum gravity: a fluctuating point of view

JM Pawlowski, M Reichert - Frontiers in Physics, 2021 - frontiersin.org
In this contribution, we discuss the asymptotic safety scenario for quantum gravity with a
functional renormalization group approach that disentangles dynamical metric fluctuations …

Classical sequential growth dynamics for causal sets

DP Rideout, RD Sorkin - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
Starting from certain causality conditions and a discrete form of general covariance, we
derive a very general family of classically stochastic, sequential growth dynamics for causal …

Emergence of a 4D world from causal quantum gravity

J Ambjørn, J Jurkiewicz, R Loll - Physical review letters, 2004 - APS
Causal Dynamical Triangulations in four dimensions provide a background-independent
definition of the sum over geometries in nonperturbative quantum gravity, with a positive …
