Discrete Lorentzian Quantum Gravity [PDF]
Just as for non-abelian gauge theories at strong coupling, discrete lattice methods are a natural tool in the study of non-perturbative quantum gravity. They have to reflect the fact that the geometric degrees of freedom are dynamical, and that therefore

An effective matrix model for dynamical end of the world branes in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity
We study Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity with dynamical end of the world branes in asymptotically nearly AdS2 spacetimes. We quantize this theory in Lorentz signature, and compute the Euclidean path integral summing over topologies including dynamical branes ...

Gravitational-wave background in bouncing models from semi-classical, quantum and string gravity [PDF]
We study the primordial spectra and the gravitational-wave background (GWB) of three models of semi-classical, quantum or string gravity where the big bang is replaced by a bounce and the primordial tensor spectrum is blue: ekpyrotic universe with fast ...

Covariance in models of loop quantum gravity: Spherical symmetry [PDF]
Spherically symmetric models of loop quantum gravity have been studied recently by different methods that aim to deal with structure functions in the usual constraint algebra of gravitational systems.

Quantum Cosmology of Generalized Two--Dimensional Dilaton Gravity Models [PDF]
The quantum cosmology of two-dimensional dilaton-gravity models is investigated. A class of models is mapped onto the constrained oscillator-ghost-oscillator model.

Some implications of signature-change in cosmological models of loop quantum gravity [PDF]
Signature change at high density has been obtained as a possible consequence of deformed space-time structures in models of loop quantum gravity. This article provides a conceptual discussion of implications for cosmological scenarios, based on an ...

Spectral Flow in 3D Flat Spacetimes [PDF]
In this paper we investigate spectral flow symmetry in asymptotically flat spacetimes both from a gravity as well as a putative dual quantum field theory perspective.

Covariance in models of loop quantum gravity: Gowdy systems [PDF]
Recent results in the construction of anomaly-free models of loop quantum gravity have shown obstacles when local physical degrees of freedom are present.

Two dimensional nearly de Sitter gravity
We study some aspects of the de Sitter version of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. Though we do not have propagating gravitons, we have a boundary mode when we compute observables with a fixed dilaton and metric at the boundary.
