Description
As with gauge theories in flat-space, physical observables in quantum gravity have to be constructed from gauge invariant correlation functions. An analysis of curvature-curvature correlation functions at time-oriented distances within causal dynamical triangulations, a lattice theory of quantum gravity, shows a behaviour consistent with a massive particle-like state. Hinting at the existence of a geon, a state of self-bound gravitons, the results presented could also have implications for dark matter emerging from pure gravity.
