Quantum Geometry I : Basics of Loop Quantum Gravity. The Quantum Polyhedra
J. Manuel Garcia-Islas
General Relativity describes gravity in geometrical terms. This suggests that quantizing such theory is the same as quantizing geometry. The subject can therefore be called quantum…
2D Naked Singularity in General Relativity
J. Manuel Garcia-Islas
We present a novel example of a 2-dimensional space-time naked singularity. The solution has a gravity singularity and no-horizon. This example is only a toy model and as such its…
Entropic Motion in Loop Quantum Gravity
J. Manuel Garcia-Islas
Entropic forces result from an increase of the entropy of a thermodynamical physical system. It has been proposed that gravity is such a phenomenon and many articles have appeared…
Entropy in Spin Foam Models: The Statistical Calculation
J. Manuel Garcia-Islas
Recently an idea for computing the entropy of black holes in the spin foam formalism has been introduced. Particularly complete calculations for the three dimensional euclidean BTZ…
Black Hole Entropy in Loop Quantum Gravity and Number Theory
J. Manuel Garcia-Islas
We show that counting different configurations that give rise to black hole entropy in loop quantum gravity is related to partitions in number theory.
Towards a spin foam model description of black hole entropy
J. Manuel Garcia-Islas
We propose a way to describe the origin of black hole entropy in the spin foam models of quantum gravity. This stimulates a new way to study the relation of spin foam models and lo…
