Quantum gravity as a Fermi liquid
Stephon H. S. Alexander, Gianluca Calcagni
We present a reformulation of loop quantum gravity with a cosmological constant and no matter as a Fermi-liquid theory. When the topological sector is deformed and large gauge symm…
Superconducting loop quantum gravity and the cosmological constant
Stephon H. S. Alexander, Gianluca Calcagni
We argue that the cosmological constant is exponentially suppressed in a candidate ground state of loop quantum gravity as a nonperturbative effect of a holographic Fermi-liquid th…
Nonlocal instantons and solitons in string models
Gianluca Calcagni, Giuseppe Nardelli
We study a class of nonlocal systems which can be described by a local scalar field diffusing in an auxiliary radial dimension. As examples p-adic, open and boundary string field t…
