Bohmian Quantum Gravity and Cosmology

Abstract: Quantum gravity aims to describe gravity in quantum mechanical terms. How exactly this needs to be done remains an open question. Various proposals have been put on the table, such as canonical quantum gravity, loop quantum gravity, string theory, etc. These proposals often encounter technical and conceptual problems. In this chapter, we focus on canonical quantum gravity and discuss how many conceptual problems, such as the measurement problem and the problem of time, can be overcome by adopting a Bohmian poi… Show more

“…They are also available in the context of quantum gravity. For instance, a Bohmian primitive ontology for quantum gravity is pursued in Goldstein and Teufel (2001), Vassallo and Esfeld (2014) and Pinto-Neto and Struyve (2018). A primitive ontology of GRW flashes is pursued in Tilloy (2018) (see also Okon and Sudarsky 2014 for wave function collapse models in quantum gravity).…”

“…It is worth mentioning that the pilot-wave approach offers a natural path to deal with the full quantum gravity problem, in which both matter fields and the metric are treated quantum mechanically (see [35]). To do so, one again considers a globally hyperbolic spacetime with a preferred foliation, characterized by a lapse function N and a shift vector N i , together with a Hamiltonian characterization of the metric variables 20 .…”
