We apply our model of quantum gravity to a Kerr-AdS space-time of dimension2m+1,m≥2, where all rotational parameters are equal, resulting in a wave equation in a quantum space-time which has a sequence of solutions that can be expressed as a product of stationary and temporal eigenfunctions. The stationary eigenfunctions can be interpreted as radiation and the temporal ones as gravitational waves. The event horizon corresponds in the quantum model to a Cauchy hypersurface that can be crossed by causal curves in both directions such that the information paradox does not occur. We also prove that the Kerr-AdS space-time can be maximally extended by replacing in a generalized Boyer-Lindquist coordinate system thervariable byρ=r2such that the extended space-time has a timelike curvature singularity inρ=-a2.

We show that alongside the already observed gravitational waves, quantum gravity predicts the existence of two additional massive classical fields and thus two new massive waves. We set a limit on their masses using data from Eöt-Wash-like experiments. We point out that the existence of these new states is a model independent prediction of quantum gravity. We explain how these new classical fields could impact astrophysical processes and in particular the binary inspirals of black holes. We calculate the emission rate of these new states in binary inspirals astrophysical processes.

We have recently presented a unified quantum gravity theory [1]. Here we extend on that work and present an even simpler version of that theory. For about hundred years, modern physics has not been able to build a bridge between quantum mechanics and gravity. However, a solution may be found here; we present our quantum gravity theory, which is rooted in indivisible particles where matter and gravity are related to collisions and can be described by collision space-time. In this paper, we also show that we can formulate a quantum wave equation rooted in collision space-time, which is equivalent to mass and energy.The beauty of our theory is that most of the main equations that currently exist in physics are not changed (in terms of predictions), except at the Planck scale. The Planck scale is directly linked to gravity and gravity is, surprisingly, actually a Lorentz symmetry as well as a form of Heisenberg uncertainty break down at the Planck scale. Our theory gives a dramatic simplification of many physics formulas without altering the output predictions. The relativistic wave equation, the relativistic energy momentum relation, and Minkowski space can all be represented by simpler equations when we understand mass at a deeper level. This not attained at a cost, but rather a reflection of the benefit in having gravity and electromagnetism unified under the same theory.

This paper is devoted to the tunneling radiation and quantum gravity effect on tunneling radiation of neutral regular black hole in Rastall gravity. We analyzed the tunneling radiation and Hawking temperature of neutral regular black hole by applying the Hamilton-Jacobi ansatz phenomenon. Lagrangian wave equation have been investigated by generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), using the WKB-approximation and calculated the tunneling rate as well as temperature. Furthermore, we analyzed the temperature of this neutral regular black hole in the presence of gravity. The stability and instability of neutral regular black hole are also analyzed.

We consider Hilbert’s problem of the axioms of physics at a qualitative or conceptual level. This is more pressing than ever as we seek to understand how both general relativity and quantum theory could emerge from some deeper theory of quantum gravity, and in this regard I have previously proposed a principle of self-duality or quantum Born reciprocity as a key structure. Here, I outline some of my recent work around the idea of quantum space–time as motivated by this non-standard philosophy, including a new toy model of gravity on a space–time consisting of four points forming a square. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Hilbert’s sixth problem’.

Gravitational waves emitted by black hole mergers. The first LIGO event: GW150917, the coalescence of two black holes of twenty nine and thirty six solar masses into one of “only” sixty two. The remaining three solar masses were emitted as energy in gravitational waves, a gigantic and perfect storm in the fabric of space-time. This is the dawn of a new era: The opening of the third “window” through which to look at the sky. Yet another triumph of general relativity. How much progress astrophysics has made since my time as a student.


It is shown how Teukolsky’s equation, governing the perturbations of the Kerr black hole, can be reduced, in the axisymmetric case, to a one-dimensional wave equation with four possible potentials. The potentials are implicitly, dependent on the frequency; and besides, depending on circumstances, they can be complex. In all cases (i.e. whether or not the potentials are real or complex), the problem of the reflexion and the transmission of gravitational waves by the potential barriers can be formulated, consistently, with the known conservation laws. It is, further, shown that all four potentials lead to the same reflexion and transmission coefficients.

For about hundred years, modern physics has not been able to build a bridge between quantum mechanics (QM) and gravity. However, a solution may be found here. We present our quantum gravity theory, which is rooted in indivisible particles where matter and gravity are related to collisions and can be described by collision-space-time. In this paper, we also show that we can formulate a quantum wave equation rooted in collision-space-time, which is equivalent to mass and energy. The beauty of our theory is that most of the main equations that currently exist in physics are, in general, not changed in terms of predictions and what we could call structural form, except at the Planck scale. The Planck scale is directly linked to gravity, which has obviously already been detected, and gravity is actually a Lorentz symmetry as well as a form of Heisenberg uncertainty break down at the Planck scale. Our theory gives a dramatic simplification of many physics formulas without altering the output predictions, except at the Planck scale, and this new formulation gives us a unified theory. The relativistic wave equation, the relativistic energy momentum relation, and Minkowski space can all be represented by simpler equations when we understand mass at a deeper level. This is not attained at a cost, but rather a reflection of the benefit in having gravity and QM unified under the same theory.

We continue our investigation of an improved quantization scheme for spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity. We find that in the region where the black hole singularity appears in the classical theory, the quantum theory contains semi-classical states that approximate general relativity coupled to an effective anisotropic fluid. The singularity is eliminated and the space-time can be continued into a white hole space-time. This is similar to previously considered scenarios based on a loop quantum gravity quantization.

General relativity is a theory for gravitation based on Riemannian geometry, difficult to compatibilize with quantum mechanics. This is evident in relativistic problems in which quantum effects cannot be discarded. For example in quantum gravity, gravitation of zero-point energy or events close to a black hole singularity. Here, we set up a mathematical model to select general relativity geodesics according to compatibility with the uncertainty principle. To achieve this, we derived a geometric expression of the uncertainty principle (GeUP). This formulation identified proper space-time length with Planck length by a geodesic-derived scalar. GeUP imposed a minimum allowed value for the interval of proper space-time which depended on the particular space-time geometry. GeUP forced the introduction of a “zero-point” curvature perturbation over flat Minkowski space, caused exclusively by quantum uncertainty but not to gravitation. When applied to the Schwarzschild metric and choosing radial-dependent geodesics, our mathematical model identified a particle exclusion zone close to the singularity, similar to calculations by loop quantum gravity. For a 2 black hole merger, this exclusion zone was shown to have a radius that cannot go below a value proportional to the energy/mass of the incoming black hole multiplied by Planck length.

The question of how tightly one can constrain the microscopic theory of quantum gravity from the known features of low energy gravity is addressed. To begin with, from the very fact that our universe made a transition from a quantum regime to classical one, it is possible to conclude that infinite number of degrees of freedom had to be integrated out from the fundamental theory to obtain the low energy Einstein Lagrangian. Further constraints can be imposed from the fact that the quantum state describing a black hole has to possess certain universal form of density of states, in any microscopic description of space–time, which can be ascertained from general considerations. Since a black hole can be formed from the collapse of any physical system with a low energy (E ≪ Ep) Hamiltonian H, it is possible to obtain the form the effective high energy (E ≫ Ep) Hamiltonian from general consideration. These results provide the physical reasons for some of the mathematical features underlying string theories and other models for quantum gravity.
