The trans-Planckian problem and gravitational interactions
Ted Jacobson
The strong gravitational interaction of counter-propagating quantum field modes is of foundational importance to the trans-Planckian problem of black hole horizons. This article, i…

The enigmatic gravitational partition function
Batoul Banihashemi, Ted Jacobson
The saddle point approximation to formal quantum gravitational partition functions has yielded plausible computations of horizon entropy in various settings, but it stands on shaky…

On the lapse contour in the gravitational path integral
Batoul Banihashemi, Ted Jacobson
The gravitational path integral is usually implemented with a covariant action by analogy with other gauge field theories, but the gravitational case is different in important ways…
