Quantum gravity in timeless configuration space
Henrique Gomes
On the path towards quantum gravity, we find friction between temporal relations in quantum mechanics (QM) (where they are fixed and field-independent), and in general relativity (…
Hamiltonian analysis of the cuscuton
Henrique Gomes, Daniel C. Guariento
The cuscuton was introduced in the context of cosmology as a field with infinite speed of propagation. It has been claimed to resemble Hořava gravity in a certain limit, and it is…
Local(ish) gravity theories in conformal superspace
Henrique de A. Gomes
Motivated by well-known obstacles to quantum gravity, I look for the most general geometrodynamical symmetries compatible with a reduced physical configuration space for metric gra…
Gravitational collapse of thin shells of dust in asymptotically flat Shape Dynamics
Flavio Mercati, Henrique Gomes, Tim Koslowski +1
In a recent paper, one of us studied spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat solutions of Shape Dynamics, finding that the spatial metric has characteristics of a wormhole - two…
Time asymmetric extensions of general relativity
Marina Cortes, Henrique Gomes, Lee Smolin
We describe a class of modified gravity theories that deform general relativity in a way that breaks time reversal invariance and, very mildly, locality. The algebra of constraints…
Lorentz Invariance in Shape Dynamics
S. Carlip, H. Gomes
Shape dynamics is a reframing of canonical general relativity in which time reparametrization invariance is "traded" for a local conformal invariance. We explore the emergence of L…
