Quantum curvature fluctuations and the cosmological constant in a single plaquette quantum gravity model [PDF]

open access: yes
Understanding the microscopic behavior of spacetime, in particular quantum uncertainty in the Ricci scalar, is critical for developing a theory of quantum gravity and perhaps solving the cosmological constant problem.

Brane-World Gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The observable universe could be a 1+3-surface (the “brane”) embedded in a 1+3+d-dimensional spacetime (the “bulk”), with Standard Model particles and fields trapped on the brane while gravity is free to access the bulk.

Perturbative QUANTUM GRAVITY [PDF]

open access: yesFrom Quarks and Gluons to Quantum Gravity, 2003
A good understanding of Perturbative Quantum Gravity is essential for anyone who wishes to proceed towards any kind of non-perturbative approach. This lecture is a brief resumme of the main features of the perturbative regime.

Supersymmetric AdS solitons, Coulomb branch flows and twisted compactifications

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
This work, which accompanies [1], is about constructing smooth solutions in type II and eleven dimensional supergravity which describe supersymmetry preserving RG flows from four-dimensional SCFTs in the UV to three-dimensional SQFTs in the IR, through ...

Dynamics of Fricke–Painlevé VI Surfaces

open access: yesDynamics
The symmetries of a Riemann surface Σ∖{ai} with n punctures ai are encoded in its fundamental group π1(Σ). Further structure may be described through representations (homomorphisms) of π1 over a Lie group G as globalized by the character variety C=Hom(π1,

Entropy calculation for a toy black hole

open access: yes, 2008
In this note we carry out the counting of states for a black hole in loop quantum gravity, however assuming an equidistant area spectrum. We find that this toy-model is exactly solvable, and we show that its behavior is very similar to that of the ...

On complexity and duality

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We explore the relationship between complexity and duality in quantum systems, focusing on how local and non-local operators evolve under time evolution. We find that non-local operators, which are dual to local operators under specific mappings, exhibit
