Finite cut-off JT and Liouville quantum gravities on the disk at one loop

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
Within the path integral formalism, we compute the disk partition functions of two dimensional Liouville and JT quantum gravity theories coupled to a matter CFT of central charge c, with cosmological constant Λ, in the limit c → −∞, |Λ| → ∞, for fixed Λ ...

Displacement and Vibration Measurements with Interferometers: Benchmark Configurations, Performance, and R&D Opportunities

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Self‐mixing interferometry is a powerful technique that brings together the exceptional sensitivity of phase measurements with the unequalled simplicity of the self‐mix configuration based on modulation of the cavity field induced by the return from the target. According to the selected measurand, displacement or vibration, and to the analog of digital

Toward Rapid Low‐Cost Fabrication of Single‐Nanowire Photodetectors via the Utilization of Dielectrophoresis

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
A scalable, low‐cost approach for assembling single germanium nanowires (NWs) into photodetectors is demonstrated using a modified dielectrophoresis method with a voltage‐divider circuit. This self‐limiting assembly technique achieves ultrahigh responsivity (>6 × 105 A W−1) at 700 and 1550 nm without requiring nanoscale electrodes, offering a versatile

Ghost-free infinite derivative gravity

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We present the construction of a gravitational action including an infinite series of higher derivative terms. The outcome is a classically consistent completion of a well-studied quadratic curvature theory.

Matrix Models, Emergent Gravity, and Gauge Theory

open access: yes, 2009
Matrix models of Yang-Mills type induce an effective gravity theory on 4-dimensional branes, which are considered as models for dynamical space-time. We review recent progress in the understanding of this emergent gravity.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Sachs’ free data in real connection variables

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We discuss the Hamiltonian dynamics of general relativity with real connection variables on a null foliation, and use the Newman-Penrose formalism to shed light on the geometric meaning of the various constraints.

Quantum Riemannian Geometry and Black Holes

open access: yes, 2006
Black Holes have always played a central role in investigations of quantum gravity. This includes both conceptual issues such as the role of classical singularities and information loss, and technical ones to probe the consistency of candidate theories ...
