A New Spin on the Hole Argument [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This brief paper shows how an exact analogue of Einstein's original hole argument can be constructed in the loop representation of quantum gravity.

Photon‐Sphere Modes in Curved Optical Microcavities: A Black‐Hole Analogue Laser

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 28, 18 May 2026.
An optical analogue of a Schwarzschild black hole is realized using curved microcavities that preserve light‐like geodesics. A new family of laser modes confined around the photon sphere is identified alongside conventional whispering‐gallery modes. Analytical theory, numerical simulations, and experiments reveal curvature‐induced confinement, enabling

Learning about Quantum Gravity with a Couple of Nodes

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2012
Loop Quantum Gravity provides a natural truncation of the infinite degrees of freedom of gravity, obtained by studying the theory on a given finite graph. We review this procedure and we present the construction of the canonical theory on a simple graph,

Entropic Forces and Newton’s Gravitation

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Our subject of interest here is entropic forces, as re-interpreted by Verlinde with reference to gravitation, that is, by appealing to Verlinde’s conception of an entropic (statistically emergent) gravity advanced in [Physica A 2018, 511, 139].

Encoding Cumulation to Learn Perturbative Nonlinear Oscillatory Dynamics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Weak nonlinearities critically shape the long term behavior of oscillatory systems but are difficult to identify from data. A data‐driven framework is introduced to infer governing equations of weakly nonlinear oscillators from sparse and noisy observations.

In search of lost spacetime: philosophical issues arising in quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper issues a call to arms and seeks to entice the reader with some of the most captivating philosophical puzzles arising in quantum gravity. The analysis will be prefaced, in Section 1, by general considerations concerning the need for finding a ...

Phase transitions and geothermodynamics of black holes in dRGT massive gravity

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019
In this paper, we study the thermodynamics and geothermodynamics of spherical black hole solutions in dRGT massive gravity in a new extended phase space. Inspire by the work of Kastor et al.

Geometry of Supergravity and the Batalin–Vilkovisky Formulation of the N=1$\mathcal N=1$ Theory in Ten Dimensions

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT We provide full details of a BV formulation of N=1$\mathcal N=1$ supergravity in 10 dimensions, to all orders in fermions, built from the generalised geometry description of the theory. In contrast to standard treatments, we introduce neither the degrees of freedom corresponding to orthonormal frames for the metric nor the local Lorentz ...
