QUANTUM GRAVITY

1. Introduction In this work we would like to review some concepts developed over the last few years: that the gravitational vacuum has, even at scales much larger than the Planck length, a peculiar structure, with anomalously strong and long-lasting fluctuations called “zero-modes”; and that these[r]

intensely worked on this subject. As remarked, the approach is an elabora-tion of the canonical approach discussed before, striving for mathematicalrigor. Partly this has become possible by the introduction of more appro-priate canonical variables (the ‘Ashtekar variables’). The word ‘loop’ in this1[r]

in a black hole background, one member of this pair can fall into the hole, whereit has a net negative energy, while the other member of the pair can escape toinfinity as real positive energy radiation [4]. The profile of this radiation is foundto be thermal, with a temperature given by Equation 8.Alt[r]

(D) When a junction is exposed to a microwave of frequency, υ, and if the voltage applied across the junction is varied, it can be seen that the dc current passing through the junction increases suddenly at certain discrete values of electric potential. Thus, a series of steps appear on the dc I − V[r]
