  1. 59. Quantum reference frames and their application in quantum gravity

    invited talk

    Quantum reference frames are a universal tool for dealing with symmetries in quantum systems. They are the means to describe a quantum system "from the inside" and key for completing the relational paradigm. As such, they naturally arise in quantum gravity whenever we build invariant observables. In this talk, I will review quantum reference frames and some of their applications to questions...

    invited talk

    In quantum gravity, there is a huge freedom in constructing effective actions since they depend on a choice of gauge and field parameterisation. In this talk, I will discuss an approach to constructing effective actions for gauge-invariant fields. Moreover, I will discuss recent progress in understanding when two effective actions are physically equivalent. Some consequences for quantum...

    contributed talk

    One way to obtain a continuum limit of Spin Foams is to use a field-theory partitition function to generate triangulations as Feynman diagrams and tune to criticality. This philosophy works well for Matrix-Models with a limit to 2D Quantum Gravity and these have a well established generalization to Tensorial Group Field Theory (TGFT) generating 4D triangulations. However, finding a 4D...
