A new approach in the Newtonian space and time, based upon the assumption that inertial mass is the quantitative measure of the matter. It has been shown that in case of a special physical system, a supposed matter transfer may reproduce…
Recent numerical results on the fractal structure of two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to $c=-2$ matter are reviewed. Analytic derivation of the fractal dimensions based on the Liouville theory and diffusion equation is also…
We exploit an ambiguity somewhat hidden in Noether's theorem to derive systematically, for relativistic field theories, the stress-energy tensor's improvement terms that are associated with additional spacetime symmetries beyond…
Fractals emerge everywhere in nature, exhibiting intricate geometric complexities through the self-organizing patterns that span across multiple scales. Here, we investigate beyond steady-states the interplay between this geometry and the…
We informally review the construction of spacetime geometries with multifractal and, more generally, multiscale properties. Based on fractional calculus, these continuous spacetimes have their dimension changing with the scale; they display…
The fact that in Minkowski space, space and time are both quantized does not have to be introduced as a new postulate in physics, but can actually be derived by combining certain features of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. This is…
Noether symmetry of F(R) theory of gravity in vacuum or in matter dominated era yields three-half power law of R. We show that this particular curvature invariant term is very special in the context of isotropic and homogeneous cosmological…
The nonadiabatic geometric phase in a time dependent quantum evolution is shown to provide an intrinsic concept of time having dual properties relative to the external time. A nontrivial extension of the ordinary quantum mechanics is thus…
It is shown that a spontaneously-broken gauge theory of the Lorentz group contains Ashtekar's chiral formulation of General Relativity accompanied by dust. From this perspective, gravity is described entirely by a connection $\omega$ valued…
The fundamental physical object of the Global Time Theory is a three-dimensional curved space dynamically developing in global time. The equations of its dynamics are derived from the Lagrangian, and the Hamiltonian of ravitation turns out…
Complexity measures are designed to capture complex behavior and quantify *how* complex, according to that measure, that particular behavior is. It can be expected that different complexity measures from possibly entirely different fields…
The questions of what represents space-time in GR, the status of gravitational energy, the substantivalist-relationalist issue, and the (non)exceptional status of gravity are interrelated. If space-time has energy-momentum, then space-time…
Different aspects of relativity, mainly in a canonical formulation, relevant for the question "Is spacetime nothing more than a mathematical space (which describes the evolution in time of the ordinary three-dimensional world) or is it a…
This report offers a modern perspective on the problem of negative energy, based on a re-examination of the concept of time direction as it arises in a classical and quantum-mechanical context. From this analysis emerges an improved…
With the theory of special relativity, time has been linked with space into a four-dimensional space-time from which a basic question must be asked: can space be really transformed into time and vice-versa? The response is affirmative if…
We study the global structure of the exact two-dimensional space-time which emerges from string theory. Previous work has shown that in the semi-classical limit, this is a black hole similar to the Schwarzschild solution. However, we find…
We show that the fractonic dipole-conserving algebra can be obtained as an Aristotelian (and pseudo-Carrollian) contraction of the Poincar\'e algebra in one dimension higher. Such contraction allows to obtain fracton electrodynamics from a…
The theoretical framework established in arXiv:quant-ph/0404103 is extended to deal with possible astrophysical manifestations of phenomena involving reverse, as well as forward, causation in time. The basic idea is that space-time…
We reply to the comments by P.Midodashvili about our previous paper [1]. We argue that, contrary to the conclusions in Refs. [2,3], the Generalized Uncertainty Principle proposed by Ng and van Dam in Ref. [4] is compatible with the…
While there exists a well-developed asymptotic theory of Fr\'echet means of random variables taking values in a general "finite-dimensional" metric space, there are only a few known results in which the random variables can take values in…
