Thermodynamics of spacetime and unimodular gravity

A Alonso-Serrano, M Liška - International Journal of Geometric …, 2022 - World Scientific
In this review, we discuss the emergence of unimodular gravity (or, more precisely, Weyl
transverse gravity) from the thermodynamics of spacetime. By analyzing three different ways …

Modular Hamiltonian for de Sitter diamonds

MB Fröb - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We determine the Tomita-Takesaki modular data for CFTs in double cone and light
cone regions in conformally flat spacetimes. This includes in particular the modular …

Noether charge formalism for Weyl invariant theories of gravity

Gravitational theories invariant under transverse diffeomorphisms and Weyl transformations
have the same classical solutions as the corresponding fully diffeomorphism invariant …

Noether charge formalism for Weyl transverse gravity

A Alonso-Serrano, LJ Garay… - Classical and Quantum …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Weyl transverse gravity (WTG) is a gravitational theory that is invariant under transverse
diffeomorphisms and Weyl transformations. It is characterised by having the same classical …

Quantum phenomenological gravitational dynamics: A general view from thermodynamics of spacetime

A Alonso-Serrano, M Liška - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer

gravitational dynamics and analyse its features. The derivation uses the formalism …

Primordial power spectrum in modified cosmology: From thermodynamics of spacetime to loop quantum cosmology

A Alonso-Serrano, GAM Marugan… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We investigate the implications for cosmology of a phenomenological quantum gravity
approach based on thermodynamics. We analyze in detail the corresponding primordial …

Emergence of quadratic gravity from entanglement equilibrium

A Alonso-Serrano, M Liška - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In this work, we derive the linearized equations of quadratic gravity from entanglement
equilibrium of local causal diamonds. Rather than starting from the Wald entropy …

[HTML][HTML] Thermodynamics as a framework for understanding gravitational dynamics and quantum gravity

A Alonso-Serrano, M Liška - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2025 - Springer
We present a review of concepts of thermodynamic of spacetime that allows for an
understanding of the gravitational dynamics encoding in it, discussing also the recovery of …

[HTML][HTML] Gravitationally modulated quantum correlations: Discriminating classical and quantum models of ultra-compact objects with Bell nonlocality

L Petruzziello, F Illuminati - Physics Letters B, 2024 - Elsevier
We investigate the relation between quantum nonlocality and gravity at the astrophysical
scale, both in the classical and quantum regimes. Considering a gedanken experiment …

Quantum black holes as classical space factories

A Iorio, L Smaldone - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2023 - World Scientific
Space and matter may both be manifestations of a single fundamental quantum dynamics,
as it may become evident during black-hole evaporation. Inspired by the fact that quantum …
