Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper, we give an overview of the main techniques developed in the context of background independent gravity in order to tackle the problem of the dynamics. We briefly introduce loop quantum gravity, highlighting some of its achievements and then present spin foam models which allows the construction of dynamical transition amplitudes between loop quantum gravity states. We then present three types of applications of these sets of ideas. First, we describe how the coupling to matter can be achieved in this context and how this has allowed us to show that in 2+1 the effective geometry created by quantum gravity is non-commutative. Then we present how we can extract information of the graviton propagator from spin foam amplitudes and finally we emphasize some recent application to quantum cosmology.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
