A new conformal theory of semi-classical quantum general relativity.

From: Progress in Physics | Date: October 1, 2007| Author: | Copyright information

We consider a new four-dimensional formulation of semi-classical quantum general relativity in which the classical space-time manifold, whose intrinsic geometric properties give rise to the effects of gravitation, is allowed to evolve microscopically by means of a conformal function which is assumed to depend on some quantum mechanical wave function. As a result, the theory presented here produces a unified field theory of gravitation and (microscopic) electromagnetism in a somewhat simple, effective manner. In the process, it is seen that electromagnetism is actually an emergent ...
