Constraining the quantum gravity polymer scale using LIGO data
Angel Garcia-Chung, Matthew F. Carney, James B. Mertens +3
We present the first empirical constraints on the polymer scale describing polymer quantized GWs propagating on a classical background. These constraints are determined from the po…
What do gravitational wave detectors say about polymer quantum effects?
Angel Garcia-Chung, Matthew F. Carney, James B. Mertens +3
We compute the expected response of detector arms of gravitational wave observatories to polymerized gravitational waves. The mathematical and theoretical features of these waves w…
A model of polymer gravitational waves: theory and some possible observational consequences
Angel Garcia-Chung, James B. Mertens, Saeed Rastgoo +2
We propose a polymer quantization scheme to derive the effective propagation of gravitational waves on a classical Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime. These waves…
What happens once an accelerating observer has detected a Rindler particle?
Angel Garcia-Chung, Benito A. Juárez-Aubry, Daniel Sudarsky
In a seminal paper, Unruh and Wald found that the detection of a right Rindler particle by a linearly uniformly accelerated detector coupled to a Klein-Gordon field in the Minkowsk…
Propagation of quantum gravity-modified gravitational waves on a classical FLRW spacetime
Angel Garcia-Chung, James B. Mertens, Saeed Rastgoo +2
The linearized Einstein field equations provide a low-energy wave equation for the propagation of gravitational fields which may originate from a high energy source. Motivated by l…
The symplectic group in Polymer Quantum Mechanics
Angel Garcia-Chung
In this paper we provide the representation of the symplectic group in polymer quantum mechanics. We derive the propagator of the polymer free particle and the…
