The Standard Model combines electro-magnetism, the strong force and the weak force, but ignores gravity. The quantization of gravity is therefore a necessary first step to achieve a unified quantum theory. In this monograph a canonical quantization of gravity has been achieved by quantizing a geometric evolution equation resulting in a gravitational wave equation in a globally hyperbolic spacetime. Applying the technique of separation of variables we obtain eigenvalue problems for temporal and spatial self-adjoint operators where the temporal operator has a pure point spectrum with eigenvalues $\lambda_i$ and related eigenfunctions, while, for the spatial operator, it is possible to find corresponding eigendistributions for each of the eigenvalues $\lambda_i$, if the Cauchy hypersurface is asymptotically Euclidean or if the quantized spacetime is a black hole with a negative cosmological constant. The hyperbolic equation then has a sequence of smooth solutions which are products of temporal eigenfunctions and spatial eigendistributions. Due to this "spectral resolution" of the wave equation quantum statistics can also be applied to the quantized systems. These quantum statistical results could help to explain the nature of dark matter and dark energy. . 000838635 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 17, 2018). 000838635 650_0 $$aQuantum gravity. 000838635 650_0 $$aGravity$$xMeasurement. 000838635 650_0 $$aStandard model (Nuclear physics) 000838635 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3319773704$$z9783319773704$$w(OCoLC)1022780459 000838635 830_0 $$aFundamental theories of physics ;$$vv. 194. 000838635 852__ $$bebk 000838635 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-77371-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000838635 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:838635$$pGLOBAL_SET 000838635 980__ $$aEBOOK 000838635 980__ $$aBIB 000838635 982__ $$aEbook 000838635 983__ $$aOnline 000838635 994__ $$a92$$bISE
