Description

The effective models of quantum gravity are expected to make phenomenological predictions of the fundamental theories. The issue of general covariance in effective models of quantum gravity will be addressed in this talk, which arises when canonical quantum gravity leads to a semiclassical model described by an effective Hamiltonian constraint. In the context of spherically symmetric models, general covariance is precisely formulated into a set of equations, leading to the necessary and sufficient conditions for ensuring covariance. Several candidates for effective Hamiltonian constraints, satisfying the covariance conditions and depending on a quantum parameter, are proposed. The resulting quantum modified black holes show the spacetime structures dramatically different from those of classical black holes.
