Action-Angle Variables in Quantum Gravity
Jarmo Mäkelä
We formulate an argument, based on the use of the action-angle variables and the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule, to the effect that if there exists the smallest possible non-zer…
Quantum Gravity in Flat Spacetime
Jarmo Mäkelä
Inspired by Einstein's Strong Principle of Equivalence we consider the effects of quantum mechanics to the gravity-like phenomena experienced by an observer in a uniformly accelera…
Wheeler's It from Bit Proposal in Loop Quantum Gravity
Jarmo Mäkelä
As an attempt to realize Wheeler's "it-from-bit proposal" that physics should be reduced to simple yes-no questions we consider a model of loop quantum gravity, where the only allo…
Phase Transition in Loop Quantum Gravity
Jarmo Mäkelä
We point out that with a specific counting of states loop quantum gravity implies that black holes perform a phase transition at a certain characteristic temperature . In this…
Thermodynamics of Spherically Symmetric Spacetimes in Loop Quantum Gravity
Jarmo Mäkelä
The choice of the area operator in loop quantum gravity is by no means unique. In addition to the area operator commonly used in loop quantum gravity there is also an area operator…
Partition Function of the Reissner-Nordström Black Hole
Jarmo Makela
We consider a microscopic model of a stretched horizon of the Reissner-Nordström black hole. In our model the stretched horizon consists of discrete constituents. Using our model w…
