Abstract

When multiple real gravitons are present, the quantum gravitational effect, caused by the exchange of virtual gravitons among them, leads to instability in the real gravitons. As a result of this instability, the condensation of real gravitons occurs. For a single isolated real graviton, which is not a bound state of multiple gravitons, the quantum gravitational effect discussed in this paper does not occur, and the classical limit of gravity is correctly reproduced as a soft limit. The mean-field analysis method is used to analyze the graviton condensate. Applications of graviton condensation to the atomic nucleus and the confinement of quarks and gluons are also discussed.
