Mathematics, 2018 In geometrically frustrated clusters of polyhedra, gaps between faces can be closed without distorting the polyhedra by the long established method of discrete curvature, which consists of curving the space into a fourth dimension, resulting in a ...

Non-Local Game of Life in 2D Quasicrystals
Crystals, 2018 On a two-dimensional quasicrystal, a Penrose tiling, we simulate for the first time a game of life dynamics governed by non-local rules. Quasicrystals have inherently non-local order since any local patch, the emperor, forces the existence of a large ...

Supersymmetric minisuperspace models in self-dual loop quantum cosmology
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 In this paper, we study a class of symmetry reduced models of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 super- gravity using self-dual variables. It is based on a particular Ansatz for the gravitino field as proposed by D’Eath et al. We show that the essential part of the

Quantum Gravity: Motivations and Alternatives [PDF]
, 2009 The mutual conceptual incompatibility between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics / Quantum Field Theory is generally seen as the most essential motivation for the development of a theory of Quantum Gravity.

Krylov complexity and spectral form factor for noisy random matrix models
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We study the spectral properties of two classes of random matrix models: non-Gaussian RMT with quartic and sextic potentials, and RMT with Gaussian noise. We compute and analyze the quantum Krylov complexity and the spectral form factor for both of these

The philosophy behind quantum gravity [PDF]
, 2006 This paper investigates some of the philosophical and conceptual issues raised by the search for a quantum theory of gravity. It is critically discussed whether such a theory is necessary in the first place, and how much would be accomplished if it is ...

Spacetime and the Philosophical Challenge of Quantum Gravity [PDF]
, 2001 We survey some philosophical aspects of the search for a quantum theory of gravity, emphasising how quantum gravity throws into doubt the treatment of spacetime common to the two `ingredient theories' (quantum theory and general relativity), as a 4 ...

Methods for Calculating Empires in Quasicrystals
Crystals, 2017 This paper reviews the empire problem for quasiperiodic tilings and the existing methods for generating the empires of the vertex configurations in quasicrystals, while introducing a new and more efficient method based on the cut-and-project technique ...

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 In this article, the Cartan geometric approach toward (extended) supergravity in the presence of boundaries will be discussed. In particular, based on new developments in this field, we will derive the Holst variant of the MacDowell-Mansouri action for N
