Holographic signatures of resolved cosmological singularities
Norbert Bodendorfer, Andreas Schäfer, John Schliemann
The classical gravity approximation is often employed in AdS/CFT to study the dual field theory, as it allows for many computations. A drawback is however the generic presence of s…
An elementary introduction to loop quantum gravity
Norbert Bodendorfer
An introduction to loop quantum gravity is given, focussing on the fundamental aspects of the theory, different approaches to the dynamics, as well as possible future directions. I…
State refinements and coarse graining in a full theory embedding of loop quantum cosmology
Norbert Bodendorfer
Bridging between descriptions involving few large and many small quantum numbers is the main open problem in loop quantum gravity. In other words, one would like to be able to repr…
Some notes on the Kodama state, maximal symmetry, and the isolated horizon boundary condition
Norbert Bodendorfer
We recall some well and some less known results about the Kodama state and the related ambiguity in defining canonical variables. Based on them, we make some comments highlight…
