Abstract
In a recent publications I proposed a new statistical theory of gravity [Riccardo Fantoni, Quantum Reports 6, 706 (2024)], which describes fluctuations of the space-time metric through a virial temperature. In a succeeding publication I discussed the foundations [Riccardo Fantoni, Stats 8, 23 (2025)] of such a theory. Here, I propose a possible way to render numerically accessible the path integral Monte Carlo computations required in the Statistical Gravity theory. This requires the use of the Arnowitt–Deser–Misner (ADM) splitting and of the Affine Quantization (AQ) method.
期刊介绍:
Gravitation and Cosmology is a peer-reviewed periodical, dealing with the full range of topics of gravitational physics and relativistic cosmology and published under the auspices of the Russian Gravitation Society and Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia. The journal publishes research papers, review articles and brief communications on the following fields: theoretical (classical and quantum) gravitation; relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, exact solutions and modern mathematical methods in gravitation and cosmology, including Lie groups, geometry and topology; unification theories including gravitation; fundamental physical constants and their possible variations; fundamental gravity experiments on Earth and in space; related topics. It also publishes selected old papers which have not lost their topicality but were previously published only in Russian and were not available to the worldwide research community
