Geometry as a Semiclassical Effect in a Quantum World - Emergent gravity from matrix models

  • 1. Los Alamos National Laboratory, Theory Division, P.O. Box 1663, Los Alamos 87545, New Mexico (United States)

Description

Full text: In order to explore the foundations of physics at very short distances, a mathematical framework describing a quantized version of space-time geometry and quantum fields thereon is desired. One possible road to take are the so-called non-commutative quantum field theories. Formulated in terms of matrix models, one can show that (quantum) gravity emerges naturally, and in the semiclassical limit classical General Relativity terms (such as Einstein-Hilbert) are recovered.
