    Is the Condensation of Strings the Origin of Einstein Gravity ?

    Full text link
    A mechanism of generating the metric is proposed, where the Kalb-Ramond symmetry existing in the topological BF theory is broken through the condensation of the string fields which are so introduced as to couple with the anti-symmetric tensor fields BB, invariantly under the Kalb-Ramond symmetry. In the chiral decomposition of the local Lorentz group, the non-Abelian BB fields need to be generalized to the string fields. The mechanism of the condensation is discussed, viewing the confinement problem and the polymer physics.Comment: Latex file, 12p

    de Broglie-Bohm Interpretatin for Analytic Solutions of The Wheeler-DeWitt Equation in Spherically Symmetric Space-time

    Full text link
    We discuss the implications of a wave function for quantum gravity, which involves nothing but 3-dimensional geometries as arguments and is invariant under general coordinate transformations. We derive an analytic wave function from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for spherically symmetric space-time with the coordinate system arbitrary. The de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics is applied to the wave function. In this interpretation, deterministic dynamics can be yielded from a wave function in fully quantum regions as well as in semiclassical ones. By introducing a coordinate system additionally, we obtain a cosmological black hole picture in compensation for the loss of general covariance. Our analysis shows that the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation gives quantum gravity an appropriate prescription to introduce coordinate systems naturally and extract information from a wave function as a result of breaking general covariance.Comment: 14 pages, REVTeX; abstract and content revise

    Analytic Solutions of The Wheeler-DeWitt Equation in Spherically Symmetric Space-time

    Full text link
    We study the quantum theory of the Einstein-Maxwell action with a cosmological term in the spherically symmetric space-time, and explored quantum black hole solutions in Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter geometry. We succeeded to obtain analytic solutions to satisfy both the energy and momentum constraints.Comment: LaTeX file, 15 page

    de Broglie-Bohm Interpretation for the Wave Function of Quantum Black Holes

    We study the quantum theory of the spherically symmetric black holes. The theory yields the wave function inside the apparent horizon, where the role of time and space coordinates is interchanged. The de Broglie-Bohm interpretation is applied to the wave function and then the trajectory picture on the minisuperspace is introduced in the quantum as well as the semi-classical region. Around the horizon large quantum fluctuations on the trajectories of metrics UU and VV appear in our model, where the metrics are functions of time variable TT and are expressed as ds2=−α2/UdT2+UdR2+VdΩ2ds^2=-{\alpha^2}/U dT^2 + U dR^2 + V d\Omega^2. On the trajectories, the classical relation U=−V1/2+2GmU=-V^{1/2}+2Gm holds, and the event horizon U=0 corresponds to the classical apparent horizon on V=2GmV=2Gm. In order to investigate the quantum fluctuation near the horizon, we study a null ray on the dBB trajectory and compare it with the one in the classical black hole geometry.Comment: 20 pages, Latex, 7 Postscript figure
