A path integral formula of quantum gravity emergent from entangled local structures

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We couple to group field theory (GFT) a scalar field that encodes the entanglement between manifold sites. The scalar field provides a relational clock that enables the derivation of the Hamiltonian of the system from the GFT action.

Developments in noncommutative differential geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
One of the great outstanding problems of theoretical physics is the quantisation of gravity, and an associated description of quantum spacetime. It is often argued that, at short distances, the manifold structure of spacetime breaks down and is replaced ...

Integrating whole‐bone and regional analyses to understand human scapular growth

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates ontogenetic changes in human scapular morphology using three‐dimensional geometric morphometrics with whole‐bone and region‐specific analyses. The aim is to evaluate whether the scapula follows a regular developmental pattern and whether its functionally distinct components, the scapular spine (SS) and glenoid fossa ...

On Geometry and Symmetries in Classical and Quantum Theories of Gauge Gravity

open access: yes, 2019
PhD thesis, 167 pages. The first few chapters may serve an (almost) self-contained introduction into differential geometry of Cartan connections and gauge gravity. The special emphasis is paid to symmetries, as well as contact between infinitesimal (`microscopic') and integral (`coarse-grained') pictures is exhibited, in a background independent ...

Pelvic morphology and body size in relation to the preauricular sulcus: Evidence from medieval to modern Iberia

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The preauricular sulcus has long been debated as a pelvic feature variably attributed to obstetric stress, ligamentous traction, and broader biomechanical processes. To clarify its determinants, we analyzed 409 adult individuals from three archeological and one early modern skeletal collection from the Iberian Peninsula, integrating graded ...

Take a Ride on a Time Machine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We discuss the possibility to build and operate a time machine, a device that produces closed timelike curves (CTCs). We specify the spacetime structure needed to implement a time machine and assess attempted no-go results against time machines in ...

Innervation of the tubarial glands: A hypothesis‐driven anatomical review

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The tubarial glands have been described as a macroscopic bilateral glandular complex in the posterolateral nasopharynx near the torus tubarius and the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube. Since their recognition on prostate‐specific membrane antigen‐based imaging, their anatomical classification has remained debated, with converging ...

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

Form factors, spectral and Källén-Lehmann representation in nonlocal quantum gravity

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We discuss the conical region of convergence of exponential and asymptotically polynomial form factors and their integral representations. Then, we calculate the spectral representation of the propagator of nonlocal theories with entire form factors, in ...
