BRST quantization of Matrix Chern-Simons Theory
Etera R. Livine, Lee Smolin
The BRST quantization of matrix Chern-Simons theory is carried out, the symmetries of the theory are analysed and used to constrain the form of the effective action.
Quantum gravity with a positive cosmological constant
Lee Smolin
A quantum theory of gravity is described in the case of a positive cosmological constant in 3+1 dimensions. Both old and new results are described, which support the case that loop…
Generalized Lorentz invariance with an invariant energy scale
Joao Magueijo, Lee Smolin
The hypothesis that the Lorentz transformations may be modified at Planck scale energies is further explored. We present a general formalism for theories which preserve the relativ…
Matrix models as non-local hidden variables theories
Lee Smolin
It is shown that the matrix models which give non-perturbative definitions of string and M theory may be interpreted as non-local hidden variables theories in which the quantum obs…
