Scientific Organizers: Clay Córdova (Chicago), David Poland (Yale), Sasha Zhiboedov (CERN) The program will consist of a pedagogical series of lectures given over a four-week period, three or four ...

ABSTRACT: An analysis of the Penrose-Carter diagram of the gravitational collapse of a thin shell of radiation in Minkowski spacetime supports the idea of a quantum origin of the event horizon, and ...

Scientists seeking the secrets of the universe would like to make a model that shows how all of nature’s forces and particles fit together. It would be nice to do it with Legos. But perhaps a better ...

ABSTRACT: It is explicitly shown how the Schwarzschild Black Hole Entropy (in all dimensions) emerges from truly point mass sources at r=0 due to a non-vanishing scalar curvature involving the Dirac ...

Ask the publishers to restore access to 500,000+ books. The Internet Archive keeps the record straight by preserving government websites, news publications, historical documents, and more. If you find ...

The loop quantum cosmological model from ADM Hamiltonian is studied in this article. We consider the spatially flat homogeneous FRW model. It turns out that the modified Friedmann equation keeps the ...

In approaches to quantum gravity, where smooth spacetime is an emergent approximation of a discrete Planckian fundamental structure, any effective smooth field theoretical description would miss part ...
