We give a critical overview of various attempts to describe gravity as an emergent phenomenon, starting from examples of condensed matter physics, to arrive to more sophisticated pregeometric models. The common line of thought is to view the graviton as a composite particle/collective mode. However, we will describe many different ways in which this idea is realized in practice.

  1. Collective excitations in quantum gravity condensates

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Collective excitations analogous to phonons are derived in quantum gravity condensates within a group field theory model, yielding leading beyond-mean-field corrections to emergent Friedmann dynamics.

  2. Relative Quantum Gravity: Localized Gravity and the Swampland

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Localized gravity theories can violate swampland constraints, but satisfy them when defined relative to a higher-dimensional gravity completion, dubbed relative quantum gravity.

  3. Gravitational waves and cosmic boundary

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    If the cosmos has a reflective boundary beyond redshift 15, gravitational waves from repeated black hole mergers could reveal it, with a TianQin+LISA network best at fixing the boundary's orientation.

  4. First Law of Thermodynamics and Emergence of Cosmic Space in a Non-Flat Universe

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a non-flat Friedmann universe, the unified first law dE = TdS + WdV and the energy-flux form -dE = TdS are consistent only when the horizon volume is taken as the areal volume, not the proper invariant volume.

  5. Emergent Gravity in a Holographic Universe

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    Causal diamonds in symmetric spacetimes obey a thermodynamic first law with negative temperature, and the Einstein equations can be recast as an entropy equilibrium condition, with a long-string CFT picture for non-Ad...
