abstract

In this work we will consider the concepts of partial and complete observables for canonical general relativity. These concepts provide a method to calculate Dirac observables. The central result of this work is that one can compute Dirac observables for general relativity by dealing with just one constraint. For this we have to introduce spatial diffeomorphism invariant Hamiltonian constraints. It will turn out that these can be made to be Abelian. Furthermore the methods outlined here provide a connection between observables in the space--time picture, i.e. quantities invariant under space--time diffeomorphisms, and Dirac observables in the canonical picture.

Smooth horizons from topology change in canonical quantum gravity

hep-th · 2026-06-04 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Topology change in canonical JT gravity resolves the firewall paradox by making the connected two-interior branch dominate after Page time, with gravitational constraints annihilating the firewall branch and identifying horizon vacuum and early radiation purity as the same Dirac observable.

Localization and anomalous reference frames in gravity

Constructs a phase space for gravitational degrees of freedom on null ray segments with commuting localized observables via edge modes and dressing time, then introduces an effective classical theory with Virasoro deformations to capture diffeomorphism anomalies and distinguish gauge, physical, and

The problem of time: a path integral view

gr-qc · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In a path-integral model of timeless quantum systems, time evolution arises when a clock is prepared in a semiclassical state, showing that the cosine problem in quantum gravity follows from time-reversal invariance and neutral boundary conditions.
