Dimension and Dimensional Reduction in Quantum Gravity
If gravity is asymptotically safe, operators will exhibit anomalous scaling at the ultraviolet fixed point in a way that makes the theory effectively two-dimensional.

The dynamics of coset dimensional reduction [PDF]
The evolution of multiple scalar fields in cosmology has been much studied, particularly when the potential is formed from a series of exponentials. For a certain subclass of such systems it is possible to get `assisted` behaviour, where the presence of ...

The Dimensional-Reduction Anomaly in Spherically Symmetric Spacetimes [PDF]
In D-dimensional spacetimes which can be foliated by n-dimensional homogeneous subspaces, a quantum field can be decomposed in terms of modes on the subspaces, reducing the system to a collection of (D-n)-dimensional fields. This allows one to write bare

Torsion in cohomology and dimensional reduction
Conventional wisdom dictates that ℤ N factors in the integral cohomology group H p (X n , ℤ) of a compact manifold X n cannot be computed via smooth p-forms.

Self-completeness and spontaneous dimensional reduction [PDF]
A viable quantum theory of gravity is one of the biggest challenges facing physicists. We discuss the confluence of two highly expected features which might be instrumental in the quest of a finite and renormalizable quantum gravity -- spontaneous ...

Supersymmetry Breaking by Dimensional Reduction over Coset Spaces [PDF]
We study the dimensional reduction of a ten-dimensional supersymmetric E_8 gauge theory over six-dimensional coset spaces. We find that the coset space dimensional reduction over a symmetric coset space leaves the four dimensional gauge theory without ...

Dimensional reduction of the generalized DBI
We study the generalized Dirac–Born–Infeld (DBI) action, which describes a q-brane ending on a p-brane with a (q+1)-form background. This action has the equivalent descriptions in commutative and non-commutative settings, which can be shown from the ...

Dynamics of dimensional reduction
In d-dimensional unified theories that, along with gravity, contain an antisymmetric tensor field of rank s-1, preferential compactification of d-s or of s space-like dimensions is found to occur. This is the case in 11-dimensional supergravity where s = 4.

Dimensional reduction in quantum optics
One-dimensional quantum optical models usually rest on the intuition of large-scale separation or frozen dynamics associated with the different spatial dimensions, for example when studying quasi one-dimensional atomic dynamics, potentially resulting in ...

Accuracy of a one-dimensional reduction of dynamical systems on networks. [PDF]
Resilience is an ability of a system with which the system can adjust its activity to maintain its functionality when it is perturbed. To study resilience of dynamics on networks, Gao et al.
