On Generalised Statistical Equilibrium and Discrete Quantum Gravity
Isha Kotecha
Statistical equilibrium configurations are important in the physics of macroscopic systems with a large number of constituent degrees of freedom. They are expected to be crucial al…
Thermal quantum gravity condensates in group field theory cosmology
Mehdi Assanioussi, Isha Kotecha
The condensate cosmology programme of group field theory has produced several interesting results. The key idea is in the suggestion that a macroscopic homogeneous spacetime can be…
Thermal representations in group field theory: squeezed vacua and quantum gravity condensates
Mehdi Assanioussi, Isha Kotecha
We apply the formalism of thermofield dynamics to group field theory quantum gravity and construct thermal representations associated with generalised equilibrium Gibbs states usin…
Thermal quantum spacetime
Isha Kotecha
The intersection of thermodynamics, quantum theory and gravity has revealed many profound insights, all the while posing new puzzles. In this article, we discuss an extension of eq…
Generalized Gibbs Ensembles in Discrete Quantum Gravity
Goffredo Chirco, Isha Kotecha
Maximum entropy principle and Souriau's symplectic generalization of Gibbs states have provided crucial insights leading to extensions of standard equilibrium statistical mechanics…
Statistical equilibrium of tetrahedra from maximum entropy principle
Goffredo Chirco, Isha Kotecha, Daniele Oriti
Discrete formulations of (quantum) gravity in four spacetime dimensions build space out of tetrahedra. We investigate a statistical mechanical system of tetrahedra from a many-body…
