Manifestly covariant canonical quantization of gravity and diffeomorphism anomalies in four dimensions

T. A. Larsson

Canonical quantization of gravity requires knowledge about the representation theory of its constraint algebra, which is physically equivalent to the algebra of arbitrary 4-diffeom…

Multi-dimensional Virasoro algebra and quantum gravity

T. A. Larsson

I review the multi-dimensional generalizations of the Virasoro algebra, i.e. the non-central Lie algebra extensions of the algebra vect(N) of general vector fields in N dimensions,…

Quantum Jet Theory I: Free fields

T. A. Larsson

QJT (Quantum Jet Theory) is the quantum theory of jets, which can be canonically identified with truncated Taylor series. Ultralocality requires a novel quantization scheme, where…

On the problem of time in two and four dimensions

T. A. Larsson

In general-covariant theories the Hamiltonian is a constraint, and hence there is no time evolution; this is the problem of time. In the subcritical free string, the Hamiltonian ce…

Manifestly covariant canonical quantization III: Gravity, locality, and diffeomorphism anomalies in four dimensions

T. A. Larsson

The recently introduced manifestly covariant canonical quantization scheme is applied to gravity. New diffeomorphism anomalies generating a multi-dimensional generalization of the…

Manifestly covariant canonical quantization II: Gauge theory and anomalies

T. A. Larsson

In hep-th/0411028 a new manifestly covariant canonical quantization method was developed. The idea is to quantize in the phase space of arbitrary histories first, and impose dynami…
