  Title Dynamics for a 2-vertex quantum gravity model Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication (up) Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume 27 Issue 23 Pages 235010 - 34pp  
  Keywords  
  Abstract We use the recently introduced U(N) framework for loop quantum gravity to study the dynamics of spin network states on the simplest class of graphs: two vertices linked with an arbitrary number N of edges. Such graphs represent two regions, in and out, separated by a boundary surface. We study the algebraic structure of the Hilbert space of spin networks from the U(N) perspective. In particular, we describe the algebra of operators acting on that space and discuss their relation to the standard holonomy operator of loop quantum gravity. Furthermore, we show that it is possible to make the restriction to the isotropic/homogeneous sector of the model by imposing the invariance under a global U(N) symmetry. We then propose a U(N)-invariant Hamiltonian operator and study the induced dynamics. Finally, we explore the analogies between this model and loop quantum cosmology and sketch some possible generalizations of it.

  Title U(N) tools for loop quantum gravity: the return of the spinor Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication (up) Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume 28 Issue 5 Pages 055005 - 28pp  
  Keywords  
  Abstract We explore the classical setting for the U(N) framework for SU(2) intertwiners for loop quantum gravity and describe the corresponding phase space in terms of spinors with the appropriate constraints. We show how its quantization leads back to the standard Hilbert space of intertwiner states defined as holomorphic functionals. We then explain how to glue these intertwiners states in order to construct spin network states as wavefunctions on the spinor phase space. In particular, we translate the usual loop gravity holonomy observables to our classical framework. Finally, we propose how to derive our phase space structure from an action principle which induces non-trivial dynamics for the spin network states. We conclude by applying explicitly our framework to states living on the simple 2-vertex graph and discuss the properties of the resulting Hamiltonian.

  Title Torsion formulation of gravity Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication (up) Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume 27 Issue 6 Pages 065014 - 16pp  
  Keywords  
  Abstract We explain precisely what it means to have a connection with torsion as a solution of the Einstein equations. While locally the theory remains the same, the new formulation allows for topologies that would have been excluded in the standard formulation of gravity. In this formulation it is possible to couple arbitrary torsion to gauge fields without breaking the gauge invariance.

  Title Revisiting the quantum scalar field in spherically symmetric quantum gravity Type Journal Article
  Year 2012 Publication (up) Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume 29 Issue 14 Pages 145012 - 19pp  
  Keywords  
  Abstract We extend previous results in spherically symmetric gravitational systems coupled with a massless scalar field within the loop quantum gravity framework. As a starting point, we take the Schwarzschild spacetime. The results presented here rely on the uniform discretization method. We are able to minimize the associated discrete master constraint using a variational method. The trial state for the vacuum consists of a direct product of a Fock vacuum for the matter part and a Gaussian centered around the classical Schwarzschild solution. This paper follows the line of research presented by Gambini et al (2009 Class. Quantum Grav. 26 215011 (arXiv: 0906.1774v1)) and a comparison between their result and the one given in this work is made.

  Title Instability of black holes in massive gravity Type Journal Article
  Year 2013 Publication (up) Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume 30 Issue 15 Pages 152001 - 7pp  
  Keywords  
  Abstract We show that linear perturbations around the simplest black hole solution of massive bi-gravity theories, the bi-Schwarzschild solution, exhibit an unstable mode featuring the Gregory-Laflamme instability of higher dimensional black strings. The result is obtained for the massive gravity theory which is free from the Boulware-Deser ghost, as well as for its extension with two dynamical metrics. These results may indicate that static black holes in massive gravity do not exist. For the graviton mass of the order of the Hubble scale, however, the instability timescale is of order of the Hubble time.

  Title A scenario for critical scalar field collapse in AdS(3) Type Journal Article
  Year 2015 Publication (up) Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume 32 Issue 9 Pages 095009 - 16pp  
  Keywords critical collapse; exact solutions; AdS(3)  
  Abstract We present a family of exact solutions, depending on two parameters alpha and b (related to the scalar field strength), to the three-dimensional Einstein-scalar field equations with negative cosmological constant Lambda. For b not equal 0 these solutions reduce to the static Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) family of vacuum solutions, with mass M = -alpha. For b not equal 0, the solutions become dynamical and develop a strong spacelike central singularity. The alpha < 0 solutions are black-hole like, with a global structure topologically similar to that of the BTZ black holes, and a finite effective mass. We show that the near-singularity behavior of the solutions with alpha > 0 agrees qualitatively with that observed in numerical simulations of sub-critical collapse, including the independence of the near-critical regime on the angle deficit of the spacetime. We analyze in the Lambda = 0 approximation the linear perturbations of the self-similar threshold solution, alpha = 0, and find that it has only one unstable growing mode, which qualifies it as a candidate critical solution for scalar field collapse.

  Title Robustness of braneworld scenarios against tensorial perturbations Type Journal Article
  Year 2015 Publication (up) Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume 32 Issue 21 Pages 215011 - 10pp  
  Keywords brane-worlds; tensorial perturbations; metric-affine geometry  
  Abstract Inspired by the peculiarities of the effective geometry of crystalline structures, we reconsider thick brane scenarios from a metric-affine perspective. We show that for a rather general family of theories of gravity, whose Lagrangian is an arbitrary function of the metric and the Ricci tensor, the background and scalar field equations can be written in first-order form, and tensorial perturbations have a non negative definite spectrum, which makes them stable under linear perturbations regardless of the form of the gravity Lagrangian. We find, in particular, that the tensorial zero modes are exactly the same as predicted by Einstein's theory regardless of the scalar field and gravitational Lagrangians.

  Title Impact of curvature divergences on physical observers in a wormhole space-time with horizons Type Journal Article
  Year 2016 Publication (up) Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume 33 Issue 11 Pages 115007 - 12pp  
  Keywords Singularities; black holes; metric-affine geometry  
  Abstract The impact of curvature divergences on physical observers in a black hole space-time, which, nonetheless, is geodesically complete is investigated. This space-time is an exact solution of certain extensions of general relativity coupled to Maxwell's electrodynamics and, roughly speaking, consists of two Reissner-Nordstrom (or Schwarzschild or Minkowski) geometries connected by a spherical wormhole near the center. We find that, despite the existence of infinite tidal forces, causal contact is never lost among the elements making up the observer. This suggests that curvature divergences may not be as pathological as traditionally thought.

  Title Geodesically complete BTZ-type solutions of 2+1 Born-Infeld gravity Type Journal Article
  Year 2017 Publication (up) Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume 34 Issue 4 Pages 045006 - 21pp  
  Keywords Born-Infeld gravity; BTZ; wormholes; nonsingular solutions; geodesic completeness  
  Abstract We study Born-Infeld gravity coupled to a static, non-rotating electric field in 2 + 1 dimensions and find exact analytical solutions. Two families of such solutions represent geodesically complete, and hence nonsingular, spacetimes. Another family represents a point-like charge with a singularity at the center. Despite the absence of rotation, these solutions resemble the charged, rotating BTZ solution of general relativity but with a richer structure in terms of horizons. The nonsingular character of the first two families turn out to be attached to the emergence of a wormhole structure on their innermost region. This seems to be a generic prediction of extensions of general relativity formulated in metric-affine (or Palatini) spaces, where metric and connection are regarded as independent degrees of freedom.

  Title The trivial role of torsion in projective invariant theories of gravity with non-minimally coupled matter fields Type Journal Article
  Year 2017 Publication (up) Classical and Quantum Gravity Abbreviated Journal Class. Quantum Gravity  
  Volume 34 Issue 23 Pages 235003 - 20pp  
  Keywords modified gravity; metric-affine theories; torsion; non-minimal couplings  
  Abstract We study a large family of metric-affine theories with a projective symmetry, including non-minimally coupled matter fields which respect this invariance. The symmetry is straightforwardly realised by imposing that the connection only enters through the symmetric part of the Ricci tensor, even in the matter sector. We leave the connection completely free (including torsion), and obtain its general solution as the Levi-Civita connection of an auxiliary metric, showing that the torsion only appears as a projective mode. This result justifies the widely used condition of setting vanishing torsion in these theories as a simple gauge choice. We apply our results to some particular cases considered in the literature, including the so-called Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld theories among others. We finally discuss the possibility of imposing a gauge fixing where the connection is metric compatible, and comment on the genuine character of the non-metricity in theories where the two metrics are not conformally related.
