A Two-Part Exploration: A Foundational Topic + an Applicational Topic in the Context of Loop Quantum Gravity
- Sepideh Bakhoda, Beijing Normal University
In this presentation, I will discuss two distinct topics, one relating to the foundational aspects of LQG and the other concerning its applicational implications.
Firstly, I will explore the U(1)^3 model of Euclidean Quantum Gravity, which serves as an interesting testing ground for the dynamics problem in LQG. With its analogous constraint structure to full gravity, the U(1)^3 model may hold the key to enhanced quantization techniques.
Secondly, I will delve into the asymptotic symmetries of General Relativity in the Ashtekar-Barbero formulation. New parity conditions for the Ashtekar-Barbero variables will be proposed, which do produce non-trivial supertranslation charges at spatial infinity. This development paves the way for investigating the quantum characteristics of supertranslation charges within the context of LQG.
