Classical theories of gravity produce entanglement. [PDF]
NatureThe unification of gravity and quantum mechanics remains one of the most profound open questions in science. With recent advances in quantum technology, an experimental idea first proposed by Richard Feynman1 is now regarded as a promising route to ...

Effective action of dilaton gravity as the classical double copy of Yang-Mills theory [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2019 We compute the classical effective action of color charges moving along worldlines by integrating out the Yang-Mills gauge field to next-to-leading order in the coupling.

Gravitationally induced decoherence vs space-time diffusion: testing the quantum nature of gravity. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 We consider two interacting systems when one is treated classically while the other system remains quantum. Consistent dynamics of this coupling has been shown to exist, and explored in the context of treating space-time classically.

An Ultralocal Classical and Quantum Gravity Theory [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics Gravitation and Cosmology, 2020 An ultralocal form of any classical field theory eliminates all spatial derivatives in its action functional, e.g., in its Hamiltonian functional density.

Classical Weyl transverse gravity [PDF]
, 2016 We study various classical aspects of the Weyl transverse (WTDiff) gravity in a general space-time dimension. First of all, we clarify a classical equivalence among three kinds of gravitational theories, those are, the conformally invariant scalar tensor

Currents and superpotentials in classical gauge theories: II. Global aspects and the example of affine gravity [PDF]
, 2000 The conserved charges associated to gauge symmetries are defined at a boundary component of space-time because the corresponding Noether current can be rewritten on-shell as the divergence of a superpotential.

Renormalizable acausal theories of classical gravity coupled with interacting quantum fields [PDF]
, 2007 We prove the renormalizability of various theories of classical gravity coupled with interacting quantum fields. The models contain vertices with dimensionality greater than four, a finite number of matter operators and a finite or reduced number of ...

A note on classical and quantum unimodular gravity [PDF]
, 2014 We discuss unimodular gravity at a classical level, and in terms of its extension into the UV through an appropriate path integral representation. Classically, unimodular gravity is locally a gauge fixed version of general relativity (GR), and as such it

Entropy-current for dynamical black holes in Chern-Simons theories of gravity [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We construct an entropy current and establish a local version of the classical second law of thermodynamics for dynamical black holes in Chern-Simons (CS) theories of gravity.

Reconstructing wormhole solutions in curvature based Extended Theories of Gravity [PDF]
The European Physical Journal C, 2021 Static and spherically symmetric wormhole solutions can be reconstructed in the framework of curvature based Extended Theories of Gravity. In particular, extensions of the General Relativity, in metric and curvature formalism give rise to modified ...
