Personal presentation

One of the various aspects in Quantum Gravity models that captures my interest is the process of the emergence of gravitational physics from entangled geometries in the framework of Group Field Theory (GFT) and how entanglement can be used to identify the effective macroscopic physics emerging from such fundamental Quantum Gravity models in cosmology and black hole physics.

Ongoing projects

I am currently working on the notion of entanglement in the GFT formalism by exploiting the dual relation between GFT and Tensor Networks (TN) under the supervision of Prof. Daniele Oriti. In particular we are investigating the different methods to quantify entanglement in the setting of a Quantum Gravity model, its relation to geometric quantities and eventually to observables. This project is in collaboration with Eugenia Colafranceschi and Dr. Goffredo Chirco.

In collaboration with Dr. Daniele Pranzetti, I am working on black holes in the framework of Quantum Reduced Loop Gravity (QRLG). More specifically, we are interested in extracting a candidate expression for an effective diffeomorphism constraint, which is compatible with the effective evolution equations by studying the constraint algebra. This is required to restore (a deformed version of) general covariance and to guarantee the consistency of the effective dynamics to be solved for.
