We developed a new method to calculate quantum gravity properties in a background-independent theory. This technique is demonstrated in a specific model using spin foam methods from loop quantum gravity.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Gravity
  • Theoretical Physics

Background:

  • Background-independent theories are crucial for quantum gravity.
  • Calculating specific functions in these theories is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To devise a technique for defining and computing n-point functions.
