A DIALOG ON QUANTUM GRAVITY [PDF]
The debate between loop quantum gravity and string theory is sometime lively, and it is hard to present an impartial view on the issue. Leaving any attempt to impartiality aside, I report here, instead, a conversation on this issue, overheard in the cafeteria of a Major American University.

On the relation between Euclidean and Lorentzian 2D quantum gravity [PDF]
Starting from 2D Euclidean quantum gravity, we show that one recovers 2D Lorentzian quantum gravity by removing all baby universes. Using a peeling procedure to decompose the discrete, triangulated geometries along a one-dimensional path, we explicitly ...

Quasicrystal Tilings in Three Dimensions and Their Empires
The projection method for constructing quasiperiodic tilings from a higher dimensional lattice provides a useful context for computing a quasicrystal’s vertex configurations, frequencies, and empires (forced tiles).

The quantum gravity dynamics of near extremal black holes [PDF]
We study the quantum effects of Near-Extremal black holes near their horizons. The gravitational dynamics in such backgrounds are closely connected to a particle in AdS2 with constant electric field. We use this picture to solve the theory exactly.

Emergence of string-like physics from Lorentz invariance in loop quantum gravity [PDF]
We consider a quantum field theory on a spherically symmetric quantum space time described by loop quantum gravity. The spin network description of space time in such a theory leads to equations for the quantum field that are discrete.

Remarks on fermions in a dipole magnetic field
This work is a continuation of our recent study of non-relativistic charged particles, confined to a sphere enclosing a magnetic dipole at its center [1]. In this sequel, we extend our computations in two significant ways.

The causal set approach to quantum gravity [PDF]
The causal set theory (CST) approach to quantum gravity postulates that at the most fundamental level, spacetime is discrete, with the spacetime continuum replaced by locally finite posets or “causal sets”.

Quantum state correction of relic gravitons from quantum gravity [PDF]
The semiclassical approach to quantum gravity would yield the Schroedinger formalism for the wave function of metric perturbations or gravitons plus quantum gravity correcting terms in pure gravity; thus, in the inflationary scenario, we should expect ...
