Smart Bioinspired Material‐Based Actuators: Current Challenges and Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
This work gathers, in a review style, an extensive and comprehensive literature overview on the development of autonomous actuators based on synthetic materials, bringing together valuable knowledge from several studies. Furthermore, the article identifies the fundamental principles of actuation mechanisms and defines key parameters to address the size

Branes in JT (super)gravity from group theory

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
In this work, we revisit the end-of-the-world (EOW) brane amplitudes in JT gravity from a BF gauge theoretic perspective. Observing and identifying the correct group theoretic ingredient for a closed EOW brane as a discrete series character, we use the ...

Model Categories and Quantum Gravity

open access: yes, 2008
We propose a mathematically concrete way of modelling the suggestion that in quantum gravity the spacetime disappears, replacing it with a discrete approximation to the causal path space described as an object in a model category. One of the versions of our models appears as a thickening of spacetime, which we interpret as a formulation of relational ...

Boundary loop models and 2D quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2007
We study the O(n) loop model on a dynamically triangulated disk, with a new type of boundary conditions, discovered recently by Jacobsen and Saleur. The partition function of the model is that of a gas of self and mutually avoiding loops covering the disk.

Phenomenology of low quantum gravity scale models [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 1999
We study some phenomenological implications of models where the scale of quantum gravity effects lies much below the four-dimensional Planck scale. These models arise from M-theory vacua where either the internal space volume is large or the string coupling is very small.

Robust Reinforcement Learning Control Framework for a Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Using Critic Neural Network

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle control is critical to maintain flight safety and efficiency, especially when facing external disturbances and model uncertainties. This article presents a robust reinforcement learning control scheme to deal with these challenges.

Phases of tree-decorated Dynamical Triangulations in 3D

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
This work revisits the Euclidean Dynamical Triangulation (DT) approach to non-perturbative quantum gravity in three dimensions. Inspired by a recent combinatorial study [1] of a subclass of 3-sphere triangulations constructed from trees, called the ...
