Hunting Quantum Gravity with Analogs: the case of graphene
Giovanni Acquaviva, Alfredo Iorio, Pablo Pais +1
Analogs of fundamental physical phenomena can be used in two ways. One way consists in reproducing specific aspects of classical or quantum gravity, of quantum fields in curved spa…
Quantum Groups and Polymer Quantum Mechanics
Giovanni Acquaviva, Alfredo Iorio, Luca Smaldone
In Polymer Quantum Mechanics, a quantization scheme that naturally emerges from Loop Quantum Gravity, position and momentum operators cannot be both well-defined on the Hilbert spa…
Topologically inequivalent quantizations
Giovanni Acquaviva, Alfredo Iorio, Luca Smaldone
We discuss the representations of the algebra of quantization, the canonical commutation relations, in a scalar quantum field theory with spontaneously broken U(1) internal symmetr…
Bekenstein bound from the Pauli principle: a brief introduction
Giovanni Acquaviva, Alfredo Iorio, Luca Smaldone
Here we briefly resume the idea, originally introduced in Phys. Rev. D 102, 106002 (2020), that the Bekenstein bound on entropy is a consequence of the fermionic nature of fundamen…
Bekenstein bound from the Pauli principle
Giovanni Acquaviva, Alfredo Iorio, Luca Smaldone
Assuming that the degrees of freedom of a black hole are finite in number and of fermionic nature, we naturally obtain, within a second-quantized toy model of the evaporation, that…
Quasiparticle picture from the Bekenstein bound
Giovanni Acquaviva, Alfredo Iorio, Martin Scholtz
We provide general arguments regarding the connection between low-energy theories (gravity and quantum field theory) and a hypothetical fundamental theory of quantum gravity, under…
