Apologies if this url has been cited before.
The site contains up to date and past research on spin foams
and related subjects.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
thanks wolram, for finding and posting this
without question it is the best page of Quantum Gravity links I have yet seen
this puts University of Western Ontario on the map for me.
I get the idea that this is where a student should go who is interested in
massive parallel computation and quantum gravity computer models of spacetime

part of the page is Dynamical Triangulation links, to work
by Jan Ambjorn, Renate Loll, and others

the page could be thought of as linking to all a grad student
needs to know to get started in QG research
 
here's a homepage for Dan Christensen, including links to his papers
and what he teaches at UWO, and a photo

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
Many of us have heard of "twistors", arguably Roger Penrose's biggest contribution to theoretical physics. Twistor space is a space which maps nonlocally onto physical space-time; in particular, lightlike structures in space-time, like null lines and light cones, become much more "local" in twistor space. For various reasons, Penrose thought that twistor space was possibly a more fundamental arena for theoretical physics than space-time, and for many years he and a hardy band of mostly...
