Parisi-Sourlas-like dimensional reduction of quantum gravity in the presence of observers
Dmitriy I. Podolskiy, Andrei O. Barvinsky, Robert Lanza
One of the sources of incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics is perturbative non-renormalizability of quantum gravity in spacetime dimensions. Here,…
All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the first Advanced LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +990
We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between September…
Interferometric Constraints on Quantum Geometrical Shear Noise Correlations
Aaron Chou, Henry Glass, H. Richard Gustafson +10
Final measurements and analysis are reported from the first-generation Holometer, the first instrument capable of measuring correlated variations in space-time position at strain n…
Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves from Advanced LIGO's first observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +993
We employ gravitational-wave radiometry to map the gravitational waves stochastic background expected from a variety of contributing mechanisms and test the assumption of isotropy…
Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +992
A wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources are expected to contribute to a stochastic gravitational-wave background. Following the observations of GW150914 and GW1512…
All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the first Advanced LIGO run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +986
We present the results from an all-sky search for short-duration gravitational waves in the data of the first run of the Advanced LIGO detectors between September 2015 and January…
Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +999
Parameter estimates of GW150914 were obtained using Bayesian inference, based on three semi-analytic waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. These waveform models diffe…
First measurements of high frequency cross-spectra from a pair of large Michelson interferometers
Aaron S. Chou, Richard Gustafson, Craig Hogan +10
Measurements are reported of the cross-correlation of spectra of differential position signals from the Fermilab Holometer, a pair of co-located 39 m long, high power Michelson int…
On decoherence in quantum gravity
Dmitriy Podolskiy, Robert Lanza
It was previously argued that the phenomenon of quantum gravitational decoherence described by the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is responsible for the emergence of the arrow of time. He…
