Affine group formulation of the Standard Model coupled to gravity    [PDF]

Ching-Yi Chou, Eyo Ita, Chopin Soo

Using the affine group formalism, we perform a nonperturbative quantization leading to the construction of elements of a physical Hilbert space for full, Lorentzian quantum gravity coupled to the Standard Model in four spacetime dimensions. This paper constitutes a first step toward understanding the phenomenology of quantum gravitational effects stemming from a consistent treatment of minimal couplings to matter.
