Abstract
A mathematically rigorous renormalized perturbative expansion, truncated to all finite orders, establishes the existence of quantum general relativity theories. The expansion is initialized with the selection of a vacuum state. Distinct infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) vacuum states are considered. The IR vacuum state defines a cosmology model. The UV vacuum state defines a black hole model. The vacuum state is initialized with a o3 gauge Lie algebra defining a quark-gluon plasma. With this choice, string theory is avoided. Finite order renormalized perturbation theory, defined using Bosons to avoid Fermion sign cancellation, is convergent to all finite orders and in the dual Schwartz space S′. The sign problem for evaluation of Fermion correlation functions is resolved with the aid of the Boson perturbative expansion, truncated to all finite orders. Once resolved, the full Fermion perturbation expansion is also convergent to all finite orders. The perturbative construction is based on the Riemann tensor, the Einstein equation conservation of energy and mass and the Gribov extension of the Lagrangian, within a loop expansion convergent to all finite orders for the dynamics. The construction employs an assumed principle of a maximum rate of entropy production.
