abstract

We perform canonical quantization of gravity in the background of a Schwarzschild black hole in the generalized Regge-Wheeler gauge proposed in \cite{Kallosh:2021ors}. We find that the Hamiltonian at the quadratic level is unitary and ghost-free. Two canonical degrees of freedom are associated with Zerilli-Moncrief and Cunningham-Price-Moncrief functions of the metric perturbations. The ${\ell }<2$ part of the Hamiltonian vanishes. This quantization with the unitary Hamiltonian for gravity is valid also in Minkowski space in spherical coordinates.

    The variance of the Schwarzschild horizon area in linearized quantum gravity is computed to be ~ r_H^2 l_P^2, giving a standard deviation ∆A ~ r_H l_P.
