On the Effective Metric of a Planck Star

Tommaso De Lorenzo, Costantino Pacilio, Carlo Rovelli +1

Spacetime metrics describing `non-singular' black holes are commonly studied in the literature as effective modification to the Schwarzschild solution that mimic quantum gravity ef…

The history of the universe is an elliptic curve

Robert Coquereaux

Friedmann-Lemaitre equations with contributions coming from matter, curvature, cosmological constant, and radiation, when written in terms of conformal time u rather than in terms…

How big is a black hole?

Marios Christodoulou, Carlo Rovelli

The 3d volume inside a spherical black hole can be defined by extending an intrinsic flat-spacetime characterization of the volume inside a 2-sphere. For a collapsed object, the vo…

No firewalls in quantum gravity: the role of discreteness of quantum geometry in resolving the information loss paradox

Alejandro Perez

In an approach to quantum gravity where space-time arises from coarse graining of fundamentally discrete structures, black hole formation and subsequent evaporation can be describe…

Fast Radio Bursts and White Hole Signals

Aurélien Barrau, Carlo Rovelli, Francesca Vidotto

We estimate the size of a primordial black hole exploding today via a white hole transition, and the power in the resulting explosion, using a simple model. We point out that Fast…

On the dynamical emergence of de Sitter spacetime

Christian Marinoni, Heinrich Steigerwald

We present and discuss an asynchronous coordinate system covering de Sitter spacetime, notably in a complete way in 1+1 dimensions. The new coordinates have several interesting cos…

Thermally correlated states in Loop Quantum Gravity

Goffredo Chirco, Carlo Rovelli, Paola Ruggiero

We study a class of loop-quantum-gravity states characterized by (ultra-local) thermal correlations that reproduce some features of the ultraviolet structure of the perturbative qu…

Planck star phenomenology

Aurelien Barrau, Carlo Rovelli

It is possible that black holes hide a core of Planckian density, sustained by quantum-gravitational pressure. As a black hole evaporates, the core remembers the initial mass and t…

How many quanta are there in a quantum spacetime?

Seramika Ariwahjoedi, Jusak Sali Kosasih, Carlo Rovelli +1

Following earlier insights by Livine and Terno, we develop a technique for describing quantum states of the gravitational field in terms of coarse grained spin networks. We show th…

Loop quantum cosmology of a radiation-dominated flat FLRW universe

Tomasz Pawlowski, Roberto Pierini, Edward Wilson-Ewing

We study the loop quantum cosmology of a flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker space-time with a Maxwell field. We show that many of the qualitative properties derived for the c…

Black Hole Entropy in Loop Quantum Gravity, Analytic Continuation, and Dual Holography

Muxin Han

A new approach to black hole thermodynamics is proposed in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), by defining a new black hole partition function, followed by analytic continuations of Barber…

Planck stars

Carlo Rovelli, Francesca Vidotto

A star that collapses gravitationally can reach a further stage of its life, where quantum-gravitational pressure counteracts weight. The duration of this stage is very short in th…

Spacetime thermodynamics without hidden degrees of freedom

Goffredo Chirco, Hal M. Haggard, Aldo Riello +1

A celebrated result by Jacobson is the derivation of Einstein's equations from Unruh's temperature, the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the Clausius relation. This has been repeated…

Towards weighing the condensation energy to ascertain the Archimedes force of vacuum

Enrico Calloni, Martina De Laurentis, Rosario De Rosa +7

The force exerted by the gravitational field on a Casimir cavity in terms of Archimedes force of vacuum is discussed, the force that can be tested against observation is identified…
