Title: On Ideas towards a Quantum Theory of Gravity
Post by: Dubbelosix on 27/08/2017 16:55:09
It was noted from my friend Matti, that the Einstein tensor when written as c13879189dbe4c29af20a3bfdfec6bd8.gif is symmetric - I tried to argue a proportionality of terms from the tensor - but we must keep in mind what Matti has said because it is important to remember.

The commutation relationship is (in a usual convention)

c6ad15a9eb534799f58389b900222a0c.gif

Here we have explicitly wrote out the connections as having commutative properties satisfying our desired inequality. Writing the whole commutation out to find the christoffel symbols, (using differential notation) reveals the following and using general indices:

3906ed724a449ca9de44e73a193f9b5e.gif

f431d6972d546c37ba777ddf1c651cff.gif

Pulling it out of its differential notation form, what we really have is

8734e1bdd8621e7b7f8d1180953479a5.gif

It is one that follows the spacetime relationship

78c58a9b0aecf046b81d740d2824eee8.gif

An application of the commutator can be found from parallel transport, in which one can obtain the identity

Consider now, the Riemann tensor with torsion. It is basically a commutator acting on some vector field 254e5990d834bc465540b2f0e3c89f55.gif

68c80c269e242828d262defe98a50494.gif

The full Reimann tensor is

f4a170dfb1b216f47a0c1651eade3f91.gif

The last two terms in 5949df5a09fd3e7c191ea0bfed85cbe6.gif display antisymmetry in the commutators. Again the commutation arises from the derivatives of the connections,

b07fca63fb7dad95b8e1f403515e2ac2.gif

This was the exact identity of the two commutators for derivatives concerned in space and derivatives in time - it's much more simple in the construct than the full Riemann tensor would suggest. The Riemann tensor vanishes, if we are in any coordinate system

97749972c5406c27cb486078a987ec21.gif

Then the Christoffel symbols are zero

2a300700ed2cb7aed7506852f9903a2d.gif

and

eff2ce64c8f7734927b743963934255a.gif

and so

520483b5e10c66fd3606637334537816.gif

Clearly, we are looking into cases though in which

61e29c048a74a80ad592b6d254fb44c6.gif

In which curvature does not vanish, but has a specific meaning and relationship with spacetime.

So far, what we have learned, it is the last two terms in Riemann tensor is antisymmetric: 5949df5a09fd3e7c191ea0bfed85cbe6.gif. We want to deal in spaces, maybe even two dimensional cases that are not locally Euclidean - ie. a vanishing Riemann tensor concerned with a commutation between connections describing the space and time derivatives. Hopefully we have clarified any misunderstanding of the commutators role in this and how they are interpreted as an anti-symmetric part of the Riemann tensor. I will continue the work with new ideas later.

The possible non-trivial spacetime uncertainty relationship, predicted by both quantum loop gravity and string theory, can be thought of as an analog of a quantum phase space.

Spacetime non-commutativity is defined by replacing the canonical variables with commutation relationships - it seems also non-trivial that the connections of the gravitation field in question have dimension of 6598d9336db9399b269c0b82499188b6.gif and so, it seems very natural to assume maybe gravity will follow the same dynamics on the Planck scale. This application of uncertainty into the equations requires a full interpretation. The preliminary investigation which leads to this idea of some unification between gravity and the quantum structure of spacetime came from an investigation into a quantum interpretation of the Geon particle. This required an interpetation where the geometry could be larger than a specified wavelength imposed by the spacetime uncertainty. These uncertainties in spacetime, which is just a reinterpretation of the usual uncertainty principle between energy and time, can be thought of as corrections on a manifold that are deviating it from the classical world. Using this understanding, nothing seems more natural than to look for such non-trivial spacetime relationships and see how they would (directly) relate to gravity - if they can. This may be a key point of how we may be thinking about it wrongly; as Susskind suggested, 89fc947d54ea1713d04eb1ab953d88fe.gif though it has been suggested not to be taken as a literal equality, there may already be cases which hint that gravity already has commutation possibilities to describe why these corrections are imposed at a Planck length.

We know what that relationship is, we defined it as taking the form of an antisymmetric tensor

656f9de622d59d0f5b597fb7f15aa590.gif

How do we interpret this, without delving into the mathematics too deep this time around?

One interpretation may come from Von Neumann actually suggested that a point in quantum phase space is meaningless because of the uncertainty principle - there may be undertones or preferrably, direct relationships of this with regards to relativity. In a way, general relativity already had concluded from base concepts that points in themselves, are not actually physical. General relativity found a solution by treating not only the interaction of a system but also their worldlines. Notice though, in the Von Neumann universe, this becomes a non-problem, because points in space themselves are simply not physical systems when you appropriately correct them using the commutation.

We can intrepret maybe further, as you converge into the quantum Planck scales, you diverge from the classical theory and must be described by the corrected theory, which does involve a concept of the non-commutation. There are other things we must remain vigilant about such theories: Such as any possible unitary violations that can be understood simply as

09d5b04d54655fb499b67ee78f91b158.gif

After some reading, I found an author https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/0007181v2.pdf who has applied the uncertainty identical to me, but hasn't looked at the theory from the same perspective. They find for the equality term ~

57f8d60ab3988fbf96b9738deb653322.gif

And they identify

8ded6143ee2075de7be37a1c58457514.gif

Which is a very useful construction to remember. Eventually I might find an author who has investigated it directly as I have.  My idea was based on dimensional grounds only, so we investigated likely only one small corner of this field.

An Approach to Spacetime Triangulation as the Benchmark towards Gravitational Unification

It is well known from Pythagoras' theorem that there exists the spacetime inequality ~

2923902da8141b56d847d0190c220a28.gif

Is it possible to apply a spacetime commutator inside of this inequality? Yes I think so! Or at least, this occurred to me.

For a scalar product defind on a vector space the length of vector is determined by

0fca894105632cc676384518fd27f6df.gif

With some invesigation (see references) a spacetime inequality can indeed satisfy the following relationship

03c5252301ea730bac0aa94d4f4fe03f.gif

Squaring both sides also yields

0de2fb24161fb1f8801d4dce76800ce6.gif

9b0aca50ebdab5319ad37862d8124f7d.gif

from which it follows

6b3bbb3a4abc48810b538e18ae3ad909.gif

which is known as the Cauchy Schwartz inequality which can be thought of as a direct interpretation of a spacetime uncertainty. Another important identity whicch further can be identified from the spacetime relationships is

0776c6c2b15e0297e50dcd8fc3f90ec9.gif

If you have trained your eye on all my previous work into gravity, this looks like the structure of commutators!

In a Hilbert space, you can define new vectors

\sqrt{| < \Delta X_A^2 > < \Delta X_B^2>|} \geq \frac{1}{2} i < \psi |X_A X_B| \psi > +  i < \psi |X_B X_A| \psi > = \frac{1}{2} < \psi |[X_A, X_B]| \psi >

(system here can't deal with the latex ^^^ translate it for yourself if you can in code


The left hand side calculates the deviation of the derivative from the mean of the derivative, at least, that is how it would be interpreted in the approach we took to the quantization of gravity. We will use these solutions as a benchmark into how to treat this commutivity in spacetime from the connections we solved.

Not sure if all these equations will show, the place seems sensitive to certain latex equations. If it doesn't work, I will take it out of its latex code so you can translate it.


To give a hint in how to do this unification attempt, we have three key equations,

1.

656f9de622d59d0f5b597fb7f15aa590.gif

These are the exact Christoffel symbols of the antisymmetric tensor indices c6a107300a285e5c9da6797a614c1882.gif.

2.

a366e4f4a8ac550d2faa1dfbd5493002.gif

This was an equation derived by another author, finding the relationship in a different form argued from quantum mechanics. As you will see in key equation 3. the form has similarities to application of a Hilbert space ~

3.

\sqrt{|<\Delta X_A^2>< \Delta X_B^2>|} \geq \frac{1}{2} i(< \psi|X_AX_B|\psi > + <\psi|X_BX_A|\psi>) = \frac{1}{2} <\psi|[X_A,X_B]|\psi>

Again, this is a Hilbert spacetime commutation relationship of operators which has to translate into the gravitational dynamics dictated by key equation 1.

So let's put it altogether, its just like a jigsaw puzzle now. Implemented the Christoffel symbols in approach 1. into approach 2. we get

969b494292f4578a8ee1bc2588dcf28c.gif

In the framework of the Hilbert space it becomes - assuming everything has been done correct, takes the appearance of ~


\sqrt{|<\nabla_i^2>< \nabla_j^2>|} \geq = \frac{1}{2} i(< \psi|\nabla_i\nabla_j|\psi > + <\psi|\nabla_j\nabla_i|\psi>) = \frac{1}{2} <\psi|[\nabla_i,\nabla_j]|\psi> = \frac{1}{2} <\psi | R_{ij}| \psi > = \frac{1}{2} < \psi |- [\partial_j, \Gamma_i] + [\partial_i, \Gamma_j] + [\Gamma_i, \Gamma_j]| \psi >

On Possible Quantum Bianchi Identities


Since we used an antisymmetric object identical to the antisymmetric indices of a Reimann tensor, the Riemann tensor will still be symmetric under an interchange of its first two indices with its last two. We have argued that the Riemann tensor 9a1d8a34186e35549bf1cf6fe129b900.gif where we use a notation to denote the antisymmetric part d97ed4fccb066550f1ed190965cf3b0d.gif. In a valid approach, we have also assumed dynamics satisfying:

907e1aaa4da71df8aabbe9c664543c34.gif   

Bianci idenities are to be studied now - they are related to the vanishing of a Reimann tensor in the sense it is related to the vanishing of the covariant derivative -  the quantum Bianchi identity is to assume there is a quantum, non-zero interpretation of the commutation of two the two connections,

a8c4d3ed048acd080a9f345a7c1743f9.gif

In general relativity, this relationship is usually given as zero - its not difficult to understand, why if we are talking about quantum deviation from a classical theory, why a non-zero theory may be important.

We can argue (maybe) that only points are unphysical and lead to the vanishing of the derivatives
bb31a5a57a191062b6bc5c018da7f9b7.gif, or even only for classical theory, or both. Of course, the statement

''if it is true in one coordinate system it must be true in any coordinate system,''

Is hard to argue with - but there is more to play with here than just coordinates - by assuming a spacetime relationship at quantum scales by satisfying the spacetime noncommutativity - so scale is an important factor here when talking about gravity, and the spacetime uncertainty needs to be a phenomenon regardless of the coordinate of the system! When we think about Von Neumann operators and phase space, we expect a deviation from the classical way of thinking anyway...

The spacetime relationship

e5ac1e870e1148a8192d463a1a9f168d.gif

is a model of discretized spacetime - leading to a Planckian spacetime dynamic. The non-zero value of the derivatives implies we have a description of gravity at a quantum scale related to fundamentally to the structure of space.  The vanishing of the Riemann tensor is actually related to the same idea connected to the contraction of the Bianchi identities, which are only zero if they permit a symmetric theory of gravity.

If we think about the vanishing of a metric in terms of the vanishing of an action, the action vanishes because it is invariant under general coordinate transformations - that is, general covariance means there is an invariance of the form of physical laws under any arbitrary differentiable coordinate transformations. But I note again, coordinates in a quantum domain to coordinates in the classical domain, may not change the coordinate but definitely the situation. - notably positions are affected by momentum in phase spaces - something classical space time and the classical objects inside of it are so different.

The full Riemann equation (in usual standard form) with LHS  showing commutation in indices, we have


33e830b16bb6d3a00e1a76fac61d6b64.gif


The curvature and torsion is given by


e331277a9548282a1bd21736d3bf8514.gif


When torsion is non-zero, the Riemann tensor becomes a matrix/object describing the torsion. Though torsion remains a possible way to create a non-vanishing theory of the Riemann curvature, I still prefer a new ''look'' on how we view things - that ''new look'' on things was an argument that quantum domains and classical domains yields different understanding of the physics.... though the statement, ''the laws of physics are true in every coordinate frame'', is correct, I don't dispute this, but the idea that this should transcend into phase space with the same value is hypothesis. In fact, we argue there is a non-vanishing structure to spacetime itself!

For particles that do not have radii, (point particles) we can argue something happens in two ways:

1) Relativity implies as R decreases, the curvature increases and as it approaches zero, approaches infinity: Whether or not a point actually implies infinite curvature is for philosophers, for me, it just implies a non-physical situation. A singularity. You can also argue that self-energies become divergent as well.

2) If on the other hand, we are led to believe that electron particles are not actually pointlike, then this avoids infinite curvature and infinite energy and we save a definition of the electron which must have a radius-structure and therefore a curvature R and a stress energy T and a non-vanishing curvature in Riemann geometry.

So... what is the Bianchi identity?

The first term doesnt matter, the indice can be covariant or contravariant. The identity satisfies sign changes in the order of the last three indices

444ee744d62953759eed5df68752b6b6.gif

To create the first Bianchi term is easy, contract a definition of the curvature with the metric tensor

441e1546b783b95895ef07597323ea73.gif

Using the same principles, you can form the other three, now all three are, assuming I have done this right

fcea597f2b629e4ce95cbfdf0332f313.gif

56f86b1260e38e220f3d8eb0a9ff0a04.gif


There is a commutation relationship it seems between the metric and the connections. Using the formulation above though, we can see an equivalent form then of the Bianchi identity is

7c412e9876f501f4620f643875a8370c.gif

Or simply as

5c35d1eedcdff736e72f8c5d97ce954e.gif

In which the bracket denotes the antisymmetric part of the tensor, which arises from the antisymmetry in 865c0c0b4ab0e063e5caa3387c1a8741.gif and 363b122c528f54df4a0446b6bab05515.gif and the definition of d2606be4e0cd2c9a6179c8f2e3547a85.gif is entangled into it.

5c35d1eedcdff736e72f8c5d97ce954e.gif



It's also nice to note, this last identity can be seen to be related to the Jacobi triple vector product

8c75e37442f46c3e5bc761c3acf01a61.gif

In which case, we understand it from the following relationship using basis vectors:

Now to teach a little on the notation. If you see 084a799f353c0237d5625a23ad626f5d.gif you will know this by now as the commutation relation.

Classical it will be zero, but quantum mechanics tells a different story in which the difference is measured by

e0a9ac0651362f11632c7e2ce8d62c44.gif

This shows there are no quantum observables corresponding to the action. Understanding why though this means we have entered the quantum realm is unclear. Even in modern references I have looked for.

Usually when you see something like

9ffbcf11b87d59ce964f38416fd51ae3.gif

It can also be taken as a statement of conservation. Clearly a2a25fd6f4a64efc6c25d07c420edbdd.gif does not equal zero in the quantum domain and the presence of the quantization e395749c6a6a497d729be52525d5d71d.gif is not an indication of a breakdown of any conservation law.

Isn't it interesting though, we have been speaking about the non-commutation between space and time - this suggests three possible uncertainty relationships with time by using the three space dimensions.

However, in quantum mechanics, objecfs like commutators are made up of observables. Does this expose a flaw in the understanding of the physics, since time is not an observable? Time doesn't even have a non-trivial operator. So how can time be seen as or like an observable, in some phase space, when it isn't?

This is a good question and I may not have the best of answers, - only than to say, we need to remember, while it seems natural to call it a spacetime uncertainty relationship, its actually just a reinterpretation of the usual energy time relationship.

So while it may seem like we are forced to deal with an object which isn't an observable, technically-speaking, its about the energy-time relationship and the large uncertainties in the momentum of scattered paricles implies that the number of particle states in the short distance of region satisfies

aa8ecadcfdb03efd32a17ed0eb61844a.gif

So this is not a true modification but is rather an interpretation, according to Yoneya.

The first term is the first cyclic form of the Riemann tensor is

e1601fce4128a211aba5715f474eef0f.gif

which has been well-established now it has antisymmetric indices. It also has to be true that the following commutation properties hold

322fae90c7ea698887f2c30d80154a82.gif

That is the time deriative anti-commutes with the rest of the space derivatives.

7c412e9876f501f4620f643875a8370c.gif

Is a form of the Bianchi identity. It may be a good question to ask, whether the first and last Riemann terms have commutation between the metric term at the end. We'll work that out in time. We seem to have ''partially'' created a quantum Bianchi identity by understanding the commutation written in the form

5fdd5b8802485340b53a64d09452bb7c.gif

So question is, what notation do we use to express commutation on the first and last cyclic Riemann terms? This serves as a lead forward.

Let's make a clearing in the forest with some work. I have now written out the full form of the Bianchi identities. Doing so, I was hoping to see if it reveals anything.

04443115b5c01155f20a4e084044d448.gif


Again, this needs to satisfy a Bianchi identity


11746ad83982b3fe65457fe0415aa5c9.gif




which we recognize as one of the forms of the spacetime uncertainty locked in equation 2. In the last Cyclic Riemann tensor, is a d2606be4e0cd2c9a6179c8f2e3547a85.gif and 865c0c0b4ab0e063e5caa3387c1a8741.gif indice - note this is an edited correction for right form, check next post

6b20937e33cfdcb8c75dc185575aa0f1.gif

Without the metric, this is just

7794d06cbcee883c01ac998cf36aede0.gif

and the brackets and the indices inside of them denotes the antisymmetric parts which involves d2606be4e0cd2c9a6179c8f2e3547a85.gif and no other space derivative interestingly, at least, from the first definition.

Maybe there is a connection there, maybe there isn't - but its nice to write them down and identify some of the commutation relationships leading to those quantum Bianchi identities.

Now we can move on to the three important identities we looked at and they will give a quantized look at the identities.

You can write these three relationships out in the Bianchi identity, we can write the commutation again, on the indices

The order of the commutation with respect to indices we have looked at have revealed their commutation in the last two indices.

Considering, that from the first quantum Bianchi identity we created, with extra indices, it is common to construct a 1/2-tensor

Which we identified much earlier on is an object which describes the curvature and even implies a torsion. Is it possible to construct similar tensors from the cyclic quantum Bianchi identities?

To take a break from those Christoffel symbols, I have been busy working on the interpretation of the physics in a Hilbert space. My first realisation came from recent discussions on the Bohr orbits and how they do not contain acceleration. This is because the electron is not locked in a classical orbit. Classical theory removed true orbits, when a quantum wave function is considered, the orbit is replaced with an orbital which has no acceleration - which means the electron has an irregular release of radiation that is often considered spontaneous - according to Bohr, only the ''special orbits'' gave up radiation - the superpositioning existing as a cloud round the nucleus removes any acceleration in the system.

In a similar theory, a superpositioning of a mass acts like a static gravity. Wave function in Hilbert space allows a superpositioning of geometry!! This approach requires that there exists a form of a static Schrodinger equation. The lack of any acceleration for a geometrical theory is important for the pre-collapse state. Stationary Schrodinger states do exist. Consider a wave with derivatives in space and derivatives in time,
 
f93311d70a9487f3d372d51762b7b25e.gif

The probability is

640dbb9d09cafc200550e4612893c033.gif

You can identify the relationship:

97cf298a732ded4d379fa3d739f32f7a.gif

The location of the particle, and its mass, will tend around the absolute square value (collapse). One reason to see this as a stationary solution, is because for the very fact it is time-dependent. You can create an operator:

The Problem of Time Dependence

A stationary theory of the gravity does lead to a problem if we consider there is a special non-trivial spacetime relationship (which hints at a time dependence). In which case, we expect there to be a relationship of the form

(unable to put into dirac notation due to site sensitivity to latex)

(some notation latex here does not like)

This physically doesn't make sense, because the dependence of time invites that the geometry is changing with time, when by a restriction of physics, it has to be static.

The purely static case of the expectation value of

(in which X is a function associated to spatial derivatives). would reduce to just the spatial derivatives

d549400ac886c59e75adef6f2c9297c4.gif

The static solutions are nothing but the time-independent Schrodinger equation (!), which is just

a7c23f488f4ec9a785497bf64c8cc406.gif

A suitable attempt would be to look for time-independent Hamiltonians

We know what 6faefb16a765a8c9f3ae39db3a13d7bc.gif. This gives simply

e4b8d2067602c9469505da7a51042448.gif a28f628aeb8ab4bba0713fd95b4af301.gif

If the wave function is normalized, the last terms a4c7375a8abdab6248e5e1a181f2b96c.gif come to c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b.gif. That is, the expectation is just the rest energy of the system of the stationary system.

Consider the square of the operator:

e4b8d2067602c9469505da7a51042448.gif8c4d7320db157ea97317cedbe2e7f7a1.gif

a3842637ea3a47c65f77c57e3bbbc688.gif1d85cb20278a5ff8bb7db6087158a1ac.gif

Which leaves the square of the energy. If we understand this as an operator of the form cd7ffe09e1417f5248fbe815a4f38945.gif then we have unearthed an important feature about the static system. The difference of the square of the energy yields there is no uncertainty in the system

3c84c0cd1bd34eae1c29a3ae7f523267.gif

Notice we have uncovered there is no uncertainty in the geometry of spacetime (if this previous solution holds) for a static theory.


So we have some important questions.

1. Is quantum gravity time-dependent?

2. Do superpositioning of particle states give rise to stationary systems?


To understand why the first question is important, is because if we are arguing for a non-trivial spacetime solution then the geometry is necessarily time-dependent (which may in hindsight appear like an odd thing to say), but the issue of time is a non-trivial one itself - some argue that it doesn't exist.

The static field depends though on a situation: The static theory depends that there is a perfect equilibrium in the system. However, it must also be noted that the particles mass is not quite evenly distributed. In fact, the actual mass of the system will tend around the square of the absolute value of its wave function, so we could argue that there cannot be a true equilibrium.

Can we interpret the square of its wave function as the center of mass in which small variances occur? It would be interesting if gravity coupled to a superpositioning principle for matter may lead to a gravitationally-induced collapse of the system (an idea no less) that Penrose himself has peddled since around 1995.

I found an interesting article that seems closely related to our discussions:

''Even though there is an essential uncertainty in the
energy of the superposition of different space–time geometries,
this kind of energy uncertainty is different in nature from the
energy uncertainty of unstable particles or unstable states in
quantum mechanics (Gao, 2010).''

http://doi.org.ololo.sci-hub.bz/10.1016/j.shpsb.2013.03.001

The article further says:

''The former results from the ill-definedness
of the time-translation operator for the superposed
space–time geometries, while the latter exists in a definite space–
time background, and there is a well-defined time-translation
operator for the unstable states.''


We too covered a problem when transposing our theory of gravity to a Hilbert space, that a stationary theory of superpositioning won't hold for the spacetime uncertainty principle. We have argued also though, that maybe there is no true perfect equilibrium in the system.

Certainly, for the static case of a wave function around a nucleus, it cannot exist as a true static system because the atom has  to give up its energy eventually (unless subjected to a Zeno effect). Though Bohr has attributed it to a special orbit, this is very vague explanation of an otherwise, interesting phenomenon. Most people generally believe for instance, the radiation of an electron to a lower orbital is a spontaneous phenomenon. In all my investigations of quantum mechanics over the years, nothing in physics has made me convinced anything is by chance. There will be an underlying physical reason why an atom will give up its energy eventually, a phenomenon we know as quantum decay.

We stated previously that to answer our problems, it may be that the distribution of mass in superpositioning does not give rise to true equilibrium. Penrose's model seems to be based very much on the same situation:

''The superposed lump plays the role of the Schrodinger’s cat. Supposing the gravitational field of the lump and that each lump location separately represents a stationary state and that energy in each case is the same, can we conclude that the quantum superposition of the two lump locations is a stationary state? Penrose using the profound conflict between general covariance principle and superposition principle, asserts that gravity is responsible for an objective reduction of quantum states, accordingly such superposition is not stationary and collapses (Penrose 1996).''

'' General covariance principle implies that in absence of any spatial inhomogeneity in the background potentials, there is nothing in the intrinsic nature of the lump location that allows us to distinguish it from any other lump location, whereas to sense the quantum superposition of lump locations, those locations must be distinguishable. In other words, to have just a single Schrodinger equation governing the evolution of the superposed quantum system, we have to identify those two space–times and according to the general covariance principle there is no canonical way of asserting which point of one space–time is to be regarded as the same point in another.

Penrose has suggested a graviational self energy related to a collapse time model

694be4db2633014166e2a2c2979223ef.gif

And in the Penrose model, the energy is given as

da202015857b71be6b26789b90c0a7c8.gif

We can derive a more general case that can be used to measure the density variations of spacetime. Deriving the gravitational binding between any coherent gravitational superpositioning state can be given the following way:

The gravitational field inside a radius 183b157849e987a4f60a759b8d0c9521.gif is given as

b1a9189375045c8c1333f2538eac7f53.gif

and the total mass is

1482bd65300b5963119f93f7c500ca69.gif

and so can be understood  in terms of energy (where 43943769afb6699fc5ce5a68ec70ed3f.gif is the time-time component of the metric),

aa2bcf7f96e91567f0476569aa6087f8.gif

The difference of those two mass formula is known as the gravitational binding energy:

6ab1ee6e13cf1f76405999f4b322eead.gif

Distribute c^2 and divide off the volume we get:

9123e4e7b36b29ecfbd54c96fff76abe.gif

Were we have used a notation c7d34ed23760291c386298d66670ec30.gif for the energy density. Fundamentally, the equations are the same, just written differently. Notice that c3abb70e4e08e6f6cca85c0339a38669.gif from Poisson's formula, in which we notice the same terms entering

6ab1ee6e13cf1f76405999f4b322eead.gif

da202015857b71be6b26789b90c0a7c8.gif

So while Penrose suggests calculating the binding energy directly from the gravitational potential 1ed346930917426bc46d41e22cc525ec.gif there are ways as shown here, to think about it in terms of the gravitational energy density and the gravitational binding between the two.

Now, J. Anandan has postulated an equation with dimensions of energy

e64a5d58bb55e135f37163e20d3c847b.gif

He postulates a fluctuation of the connection c6aaf4d027766fec3e48899ea29a7e1b.gif and proposes the gravitational fields of the superpositioned states may be regarded as peturbations on the background Minkowski spacetime and suggests

9f1162b814a6acdabfd2a80f74a4b43f.gif

Where we have removed Dirac notation because of the sites sensitivity to certain symbols and format. It's an interesting equation that needs to be understood better for it shares formal similarities to the approach we took in a Hilbert space:

e449bb672b251ecac51a212283a3e086.gif

As an expectation value on curvature tensor. When we think of a connection like 44e798dd0e5c68dfc3de1455721e0a72.gif really, what is being suggested, is a covariant derivative and a connection term

355e1ea992e868b9d1f9ea8215ed38bf.gif

and with the indices and extra terms, it just becomes a more complicated object known as the curvature ternsor 73108f581865e92dda72167e3668e993.gif. In theory, we should be able to replace 44e798dd0e5c68dfc3de1455721e0a72.gif for the curvature tensor.

Let's explore this first equation by Anandan by studying the dimensions. I thought what was supposed to be implied here from his 'proposed' constant of proportionality, was the speed of light to the power of four, which is an equation with dimensions identical to an energy of the form

49ba82f6134b6239745346f5704b323d.gif

So while the author did not specify, did they set 4a8a08f09d37b73795649038408b5f33.gif to natural units and keep the definition of the Newtonian constant in there?

The equation does have non-commutative properties in d71d23c081aede6e419de98dda10ebae.gif it should be noted. Taking both equations and looking at the structure

e64a5d58bb55e135f37163e20d3c847b.gif

The equations are very similar.

The dimensions of his equation

e64a5d58bb55e135f37163e20d3c847b.gif

doesn't make much sense to me... I mean, I could very well be wrong or missing something. I did try and construct some kind of meaning out of it though.

So what is the difference between the two equations?

a117f9d039e2fcb2b42d52ebb521ac45.gif

e64a5d58bb55e135f37163e20d3c847b.gif

Firstly, I should have noted that the first equation uses a dimensionless interpretation of 1ed346930917426bc46d41e22cc525ec.gif which you can expand in a series, which can be thought of as ''gravitational corrections.'' Knowing that the operator has dimensions of inverse length squared ceba5695587e82b7e7412c379236f7c1.gif and since the first term is a gravitational force ceb0010a2e306e2397a90e87ddcfbf5d.gif, we end up with an equation (with dimensions of e453713c07f1160eb33eb9b96ad85e85.gif which is exactly the dimensions of energy. Going to the second equation I am wondering if there is a typo in the equation and really what we want is

aac80ad527ef9c1fef68a75848f2bbec.gif

can be written also then as

1e694211baf5544404ce72df3e932d46.gif

We may identify the squared value of the divergence ea896207b8a8710b92eb4cb54626e20c.gif is the Laplace operator. This means his equation can be written as

2d34f04dc1a1a372f7c37bd29690db30.gif

Now compare

a77d24e9e2e30ab50dcdd14dd07d817c.gif

An integral on the RHS of the first equation will yield

e8aadb2ecb8eb4e62d02257ea836508f.gif

Which does have dimensions of energy iff the connection is of dimensionless form and the missing constant of proportionality is 6d75747fe76cff19a17b175d33b90e1a.gif to fix the dimensions. So

864ff0ea99f266de79299f68aac355e7.gif

Is an energy density and the energy is simply

c6976de6ad7c22988f6ea4e0d8a3fe96.gif

Is it possible that such a mistake occurred somewhere? Because the other form doesn't make much sense to me.
Title: Re: On Ideas towards a Quantum Theory of Gravity

The notation seems a bit odd to me, for if the previous equation is not what he meant then 967878d1da852d4b07a961e3168b0fff.gif may not be the Laplacian. It seems at least, from his fluctuation equation, it could be like a difference operator, in which case, we don't usually square it. The similarities though, were interesting. Even if it was a difference operator, the dimensions of his equations would not make sense to me.

So... really, we can replace the ... inspiring 07710b5c43702a8bb7b9104eacc6ba71.gif for the curvature tensor itself. The difference in quantum geometries in a Hilbert space is

fb01c73e2380ec10e544c3c8d545a2ff.gifb4d3ac41daa087b6ff6b7564c9749d2e.gif

*Check this with the early construction!

Where we have used 967878d1da852d4b07a961e3168b0fff.gif as a difference operator, in the same manner it seems, as Anandan. In his equation, an element volume term is attached to it, why, I am not sure. We have kept it out of this definition. The equation just proposed, is the proving ground of unitarity and whether the system obeys it. This equation doesn't tell you whether it does.

If instead now, his equation

Is not treating 659d23f0ed16cdb87b1d41c7b58b52f4.gif as the Laplacian, but instead a difference operator, and if 07710b5c43702a8bb7b9104eacc6ba71.gif now has conventional dimensions of 1/length then an integral yields a true energy equation

1a261e352b78da626c2b088e7ec26982.gif

Which would make sense of the element volume attached to his curvature/geometry probability difference and in a case where he set ea720431a22935412ba226ccd6548300.gif. In which case, you should still be able to write the following:

So yeah, the really confusing thing here, and don't worry, I was confused as well, it doesn't actually matter whether the coefficient of the Christoffel symbol is the nabla operator is replaced with a difference operator. The results appear to be the same either way, which is good. We will go back to this description of Anandan's picture later when I have developed more theory.

Shares the difference between two expectation values of the system:

That coefficient of 93b05c90d14a117ba52da1d743a43ab1.gif may indeed attach to that energy, just like a kinetic energy term. So really, when you saw this object: cd70c68b0535ba250cec8cb5222ec6f6.gif as we have shown, we had already calculated this identity very early on in the work. So the energy equation is compatible in a Cauchy-Schwarz interpretation of spacetime.

How to Vary the Expectation

In terms of a Laplacian, it was possible to construct an equation of the form: Again, some of these equations have been pulled out of their code because of site sensitivity to Dirac notation.


981b3799cca50b4e3cfb4598ced3919f.gif


which does not have a squared value for the Laplacian 7081e0dddb3c5b4520be9297cdd88781.gif. The funny thing is ... again, it all led to the same end anyway. Notice though, even if it was a Laplacian, you would not be squaring the Laplacian because dimensionally, that makes no sense. You could square the nabla operator and argue the wrong notation was used, but since the same notation crops up all over the internet, I must still assume it is a gap in my knowledge.

(\Delta A)^2 = <\psi| A^2| \psi> - 2<A^2> + <A^2> = <A^2> - <A^2>


You can see the equivalent of equation 2. in the quote as


<A> = \sum_n <\psi | a_n > <a_n|\psi> a_n

 = \sum_n <\psi | A | a_n><a_n|\psi > = <\psi| A (\sum_n |a_n ><a_n|) a_n |\psi> = < \psi| A |\psi>


Which makes use of the completeness theorem. To find the alternative version, you square and solve from the form involving eigenstates: Using their notation ~

(\Delta A)^2 = \sum_n <\psi | a_n > <a_n|\psi> ( a_n - <A>)^2

= \sum_n < \psi | a_n><a_n |\psi>(a^2 - 2a_n<A> + <A>^2)

= \sum_n <\psi| a_n> <a_n |\psi> a^2_n - 2<A>\sum_n <\psi |a_n><a_n| \psi> a_n + <A>^2 \sum_n <\psi|a_n> <a_n |\psi>

So that's how those strange extra symbols come into the game, even though they were never implied in the formulation of our Cauchy Schwarz spacetime.

Right... back to the work.

How do you vary the expectation value in the equation

Take careful note though, this last equation is only for one variation in one such term for the expectation e449bb672b251ecac51a212283a3e086.gif - so you will end up with a four component equation in a superpositioned system of two particles or by calculating the binding energy, which also invites the differenece of two expectations.

The eigenstate approach gave rise to two extra terms, and we explained why above.

But now the reference, or you won't know what the hell I am talking about.

A little note. It's also possible to normalize the variation by the square of the wave function

The reason why we would want to do this is because it would make the expectation independent of the normalization of the wave function. Also expect there to be a variation in curvature tensor on the right hand side. The variation could possible be written in the following way 5dd3d300ab6fe0e2d36dcda4d257db0a.gif.

Right... back to the work.

How do you vary the expectation value in the equation

640da99330ae1eaf7d45a941baff9e64.gif

The total variation will split this part up

where the subscript of 5571a4ad52b9e896a4755316a9739053.gif denotes a ''two particle system.''

Let's construct the full equation now. Expand the equation a bit on the right hand side and setting 8581ce2951c9474c6596dc03abbb056d.gif and also taking 64af3d8ef671708bd45dcdc96f94b1cd.gif as 4a7400461db8a0760e6ad857b3aba763.gif, which seems to be a common practice,

When you vary the wave function for each term, you get the full equation

(again, devoid of Dirac notation due to site sensitivity to latex).

Even though we think about 5571a4ad52b9e896a4755316a9739053.gif as some differential change between two particle systems, in the context of the right handside, its actually the difference between two geometries of two particles - previous to the collapse state, that one particle is smeared though space. This has been the context of our investigations and how to view gravity.

Not sure if all these equations will show, the place seems sensitive to certain latex equations. If it doesn't work, I will take it out of its latex code so you can translate it.


To give a hint in how to do this unification attempt, we have three key equations,

1.

656f9de622d59d0f5b597fb7f15aa590.gif

These are the exact Christoffel symbols of the antisymmetric tensor indices c6a107300a285e5c9da6797a614c1882.gif.

2.

a366e4f4a8ac550d2faa1dfbd5493002.gif

This was an equation derived by another author, finding the relationship in a different form argued from quantum mechanics. As you will see in key equation 3. the form has similarities to application of a Hilbert space ~

3.

\sqrt{|<\Delta X_A^2>< \Delta X_B^2>|} \geq \frac{1}{2} i(< \psi|X_AX_B|\psi > + <\psi|X_BX_A|\psi>) = \frac{1}{2} <\psi|[X_A,X_B]|\psi>

Again, this is a Hilbert spacetime commutation relationship of operators which has to translate into the gravitational dynamics dictated by key equation 1.

So let's put it altogether, its just like a jigsaw puzzle now. Implemented the Christoffel symbols in approach 1. into approach 2. we get

969b494292f4578a8ee1bc2588dcf28c.gif

In the framework of the Hilbert space it becomes - assuming everything has been done correct, takes the appearance of ~


\sqrt{|<\nabla_i^2>< \nabla_j^2>|} \geq = \frac{1}{2} i(< \psi|\nabla_i\nabla_j|\psi > + <\psi|\nabla_j\nabla_i|\psi>) = \frac{1}{2} <\psi|[\nabla_i,\nabla_j]|\psi> = \frac{1}{2} <\psi | R_{ij}| \psi > = \frac{1}{2} < \psi |- [\partial_j, \Gamma_i] + [\partial_i, \Gamma_j] + [\Gamma_i, \Gamma_j]| \psi >


without imaginary number on c6a107300a285e5c9da6797a614c1882.gif

I was told by my friend my Hilbert space would be infinitely dimensional, I don't think this is the case at all, after more studying. The L^2 function implies finite results in the Hilbert space and L^2 space has functions which satisfy Cauchy Schwarz inequality. Since we formulated a spacetime theory using the Cauchy Schwarz inequality, it seems reasonable to assume this is finite dimensional.
