Learning about Quantum Gravity with a Couple of Nodes
Symmetry, 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,

Hamiltonian analysis of self-dual gauge gravity [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 The Hamiltonian analysis of the self-dual gauge gravity theory is carried out. The resulting canonical structure is equivalent to that of self-dual gravity.

Foundations of Ghost Stability
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract The authors present a new method to analytically prove global stability in ghost‐ridden dynamical systems. The proposal encompasses all prior results and consequentially extends them. In particular, it is shown that stability can follow from a conserved quantity that is unbounded from below, contrary to expectation.

From the conformal anomaly to the Virasoro algebra
Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract The conformal anomaly and the Virasoro algebra are fundamental aspects of two‐dimensional conformal field theory and conformally covariant models in planar random geometry. In this article, we explicitly derive the Virasoro algebra from an axiomatization of the conformal anomaly in terms of real determinant lines, one‐dimensional vector spaces

Phase transitions and geothermodynamics of black holes in dRGT massive gravity
European 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.

Towards a Background Independent Quantum Gravity in Eight Dimensions [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 We start a program of background independent quantum gravity in eight dimensions. We begin by considering canonical gravity \textit{a la} "Kaluza-Klein" in $D=d+1$ dimensions. We show that our canonical gravity approach can be applied to the case of self-dual gravity in four dimensions.

A Lorentz-Covariant Connection for Canonical Gravity
Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2011 We construct a Lorentz-covariant connection in the context of first order canonical gravity with non-vanishing Barbero-Immirzi parameter. To do so, we start with the phase space formulation derived from the canonical analysis of the Holst action in which

Relational Observables in Gravity: a Review
Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2012 We present an overview on relational observables in gravity mainly from a loop quantum gravity perspective. The gauge group of general relativity is the diffeomorphism group of the underlying manifold.

The Holst spin foam model via cubulations
New Journal of Physics, 2012 Spin foam models are an attempt at a covariant or path integral formulation of canonical loop quantum gravity. The construction of such models usually relies on the Plebanski formulation of general relativity as a constrained BF theory and is based on ...
