Quantum gravity: Physics from supergeometries
We show that the metric (line element) is the first geometrical object to be associated to a discrete (quantum) structure of the spacetime without necessity of black hole-entropy-area arguments, in sharp contrast with other attempts in the literature. To this end, an emergent metric solution obtained previously in [ Phys. Lett. B661 (2008) 186–191] from a particular non-degenerate Riemannian superspace is introduced. This emergent metric is described by a physical coherent state belonging to the metaplectic group Mp (n) with a Poissonian distribution at lower n (number basis) restoring the classical thermal continuum behavior at large n(n → ∞), or leading to non-classical radiation states, as is conjectured in a quite general basis by means of the Bekenstein–Mukhanov effect. Group-dependent conditions that control the behavior of the macroscopic regime spectrum (thermal or not), as the relationship with the problem of area/entropy of the black hole are presented and discussed.
