We introduce a novel decidable fragment of first-order logic. The fragment is one-dimensional in the sense that quantification is limited to applications of blocks of existential (universal) quantifiers such that at most one variable…
We show that the path-integral quantization of relativistic strings with the Schild action is essentially equivalent to the usual Polyakov quantization at critical space-time dimensions. We then present an interpretation of the Schild…

A model of space-time foam in the form of an arbitrary distribution of spherical Euclidean wormholes is considered. A method for constructing the exact solution of Einstein's Euclidean equations for the metric corresponding to this model is…

Spacetime foam is analyzed within the simplistic model of a set of scalar fields on a flat background. We suggest the formula for the path integral which allows to account for the all possible topologies of spacetime. We show that the…
We use Fuchsian methods to show that, for any two dimensional manifold $\Sigma^2$, there is a large family of U(1) symmetric solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations on the manifold $\Sigma \times S^1 \times \mathbb{R}$, each of which has…
The precise description of quantum nuclear fluctuations in atomistic modelling is possible by employing path integral techniques, which involve a considerable computational overhead due to the need of simulating multiple replicas of the…
We consider self-gravitating fluids in cosmological spacetimes with Gowdy symmetry on the torus $T^3$ and, in this class, we solve the singular initial value problem for the Einstein-Euler system of general relativity, when an initial data…
A well-known result of Carrillo, Choi, Tadmor, and Tan states that the 1D Euler Alignment model with smooth interaction kernels possesses a 'critical threshold' criterion for the global existence or finite-time blowup of solutions,…
We obtain a Palatini-type formulation for the Galilei and Carroll expansions of general relativity, where the connection is promoted to a variable. Known versions of these large and small speed of light expansions are derived from the…
Scaling symmetries have previously been examined for classical field theories described by singular Lagrangians; in this article, we apply these results to the first-order formulation of General Relativity. It is shown that the dynamical…
We couple to group field theory (GFT) a scalar field that encodes the entanglement between manifold sites. The scalar field provides a relational clock that enables the derivation of the Hamiltonian of the system from the GFT action.…
