Diffeomorphism Symmetry

We have considered here the emergence of diffeomorphism symmetry in quantum gravity in the framework of the quantization of a fermion. It is pointed out that a closed loop having the holonomy associated with the SU(2) gauge group is realized from the rotation of the direction vector associated with the quantization of a fermion depicting spin degrees of freedom which appear as SU(2) gauge bundle. During the formation of a loop, a noncyclic path with open ends can be mapped onto a closed loop when the holonomy involves q-deformed gauge group SUq(2). This gives rise to q-deformed diffeomorphism and helps to realize diffeomorphism invariance in quantum gravity through a sequence of q-deformed diffeomorphism in the limit q = 1. We can consider adiabatic iteration such that the quasispin associated with the quantum group SUq(2) gradually evolves as the time dependent deformation parameter q changes and in the limit q = 1, we achieve the standard spin. This essentially depicts the evolution of spin network as the loop is being formed and links fermionic degrees of freedom with loop quantum gravity.

We present a bird's-eye survey on the development of fundamental ideas of quantum gravity, placing emphasis on perturbative approaches, string theory, loop quantum gravity (LQG) and black hole thermodynamics. The early ideas at the dawn of quantum gravity as well as the possible observations of quantum gravitational effects in the foreseeable future are also briefly discussed.
