On cosmic hair and" de Sitter breaking" in linearized quantum gravity

IA Morrison - arXiv preprint arXiv:1302.1860, 2013 - arxiv.org
We quantize linearized Einstein-Hilbert gravity on de Sitter backgrounds in a covariant
gauge. We verify the existence of a maximally-symmetric (ie de Sitter-invariant) Hadamard …

Dimensionally regulated graviton 1-point function in de Sitter

NC Tsamis, RP Woodard - Annals of Physics, 2006 - Elsevier
We use dimensional regularization to compute the 1PI 1-point function of quantum gravity at
one loop order in a locally de Sitter background. As with other computations, the result is a …

A note on the canonical formalism for gravity

E Witten - arXiv preprint arXiv:2212.08270, 2022 - arxiv.org
We describe a simple gauge-fixing that leads to a construction of a quantum Hilbert space
for quantum gravity in an asymptotically Anti de Sitter spacetime, valid to all orders of …

The quantization of linear gravitational perturbations and the Hadamard condition

DS Hunt - 2012 - etheses.whiterose.ac.uk
The quantum field theory describing linear gravitational perturbations is important from a
cosmological viewpoint, in particular when formulated on de Sitter spacetime, which is used …

The wave function of quantum de Sitter

A Castro, A Maloney - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012 - Springer
A bstract We consider quantum general relativity in three dimensions with a positive
cosmological constant. The Hartle-Hawking wave function is computed as a function of …

Group Averaging of massless scalar fields in 1+ 1 de Sitter

D Marolf, IA Morrison - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Perturbative gravity in global de Sitter space is subject to so-called linearization stability
constraints: If they are to couple consistently to the gravitational field, quantum states must …

Spontaneous dimensional reduction in quantum gravity

S Carlip - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2016 - World Scientific
Hints from a number of different approaches to quantum gravity point to a phenomenon of
“spontaneous dimensional reduction” to two spacetime dimensions near the Planck scale. I …

The Hilbert space of de Sitter quantum gravity

T Chakraborty, J Chakravarty, V Godet, P Paul… - Journal of High Energy …, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We obtain solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation with positive cosmological
constant for a closed universe in the large-volume limit. We argue that this space of solutions …

[HTML][HTML] A small non-vanishing cosmological constant from the Krein–Gupta–Bleuler vacuum

H Pejhan, K Bamba, M Enayati, S Rahbardehghan - Physics Letters B, 2018 - Elsevier
We point out a potential relevance between the Krein–Gupta–Bleuler (KGB) vacuum leading
to a fully covariant quantum field theory for gravity in de Sitter (dS) spacetime and the …
