Deformed general relativity and effective actions from loop quantum gravity

M Bojowald, GM Paily - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2012 - APS
Canonical methods can be used to construct effective actions from deformed covariance
algebras, as implied by quantum-geometry corrections of loop quantum gravity. To this end …

Generalized uncertainty principles and localization of a particle in discrete space

M Bojowald, A Kempf - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2012 - APS
Generalized uncertainty principles are able to serve as useful descriptions of some of the
phenomenology of quantum gravity effects, providing an intuitive grasp on nontrivial space …

Background-independent quantization and the uncertainty principle

GM Hossain, V Husain, SS Seahra - Classical and Quantum …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
It is shown that polymer quantization leads to a modified uncertainty principle similar to that
motivated by string theory and non-commutative geometry. When applied to quantum field …

Propagation of quantum gravity-modified gravitational waves on a classical FLRW spacetime

A Garcia-Chung, JB Mertens, S Rastgoo, Y Tavakoli… - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
The linearized Einstein field equations provide a low-energy wave equation for the
propagation of gravitational fields which may originate from a high-energy source. Motivated …

Propagator in polymer quantum field theory

GM Hossain, V Husain, SS Seahra - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2010 - APS
We study free scalar field theory on flat spacetime using a background-independent
(polymer) quantization procedure. Specifically we compute the propagator using a method …

Minisuperspace models as infrared contributions

M Bojowald, S Brahma - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
A direct correspondence of quantum mechanics as a minisuperspace model for a self-
interacting scalar quantum-field theory is established by computing, in several models, the …

High energy modifications of blackbody radiation and dimensional reduction

V Husain, SS Seahra, EJ Webster - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2013 - APS
Quantization prescriptions that realize generalized uncertainty relations are motivated by
quantum gravity arguments that incorporate a fundamental length scale. We apply two such …

Propagators in polymer quantum mechanics

E Flores-González, HA Morales-Técotl, JD Reyes - Annals of Physics, 2013 - Elsevier
Abstract Polymer Quantum Mechanics is based on some of the techniques used in the loop
quantization of gravity that are adapted to describe systems possessing a finite number of …

Matter in loop quantum gravity

GM Hossain - SIGMA. Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods …, 2012 - emis.de
Loop quantum gravity, a non-perturbative and manifestly background free, quantum theory
of gravity implies that at the kinematical level the spatial geometry is discrete in a specific …

Nonsingular inflationary universe from polymer matter

GM Hossain, V Husain, SS Seahra - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2010 - APS
We consider a polymer quantization of a free massless scalar field in a homogenous and
isotropic classical cosmological spacetime. This quantization method assumes that field …
