Statistical Gravity Through Affine Quantization

I propose a possible way to introduce the effect of temperature (defined through the virial theorem) into Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This requires the computation of a path integral on a ten-dimensional <i>flat</i> space in a four-dimensional spacetime <i>lattice</...

Description
Summary:I propose a possible way to introduce the effect of temperature (defined through the virial theorem) into Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This requires the computation of a path integral on a ten-dimensional <i>flat</i> space in a four-dimensional spacetime <i>lattice</i>. Standard path integral Monte Carlo methods can be used to compute this.
