Hamiltonian and physical Hilbert space in polymer quantum mechanics
Alejandro Corichi, Tatjana Vukasinac, Jose A. Zapata
In this paper, a version of polymer quantum mechanics, which is inspired by loop quantum gravity, is considered and shown to be equivalent, in a precise sense, to the standard, exp…
Black hole entropy quantization
Alejandro Corichi, Jacobo Diaz-Polo, Enrique Fernandez-Borja
Ever since the pioneer works of Bekenstein and Hawking, black hole entropy has been known to have a quantum origin. Furthermore, it has long been argued by Bekenstein that entropy…
Quantum Gowdy model: A uniqueness result
Alejandro Corichi, Jeronimo Cortez, Guillermo A. Mena Marugan +1
Modulo a homogeneous degree of freedom and a global constraint, the linearly polarised Gowdy cosmologies are equivalent to a free scalar field propagating in a fixed nonstati…
Quantum geometry and microscopic black hole entropy
Alejandro Corichi, Jacobo Diaz-Polo, Enrique Fernandez-Borja
Quantum black holes within the loop quantum gravity (LQG) framework are considered. The number of microscopic states that are consistent with a black hole of a given horizon area $…
Quantum Gowdy model: A unitary description
Alejandro Corichi, Jeronimo Cortez, Guillermo A. Mena Marugan
The quantization of the family of linearly polarized Gowdy spacetimes is discussed in detail, starting with a canonical analysis in which the true degrees of freedom are desc…
