Quantum geometrodynamics is canonical quantum gravity with the three-metric as the configuration variable. Its central equation is the Wheeler--DeWitt equation. Here I give an overview of the status of this approach. The issues discussed…
We consider some simple examples of supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems and explore their possible geometric interpretation with the help of geometric aspects of real Clifford algebras. This leads to natural extensions of the…
The development of last years in quantum geometrodynamics highlights new problems which were not obvious in its first formulation proposed by Wheeler and DeWitt. At the first stage the main task was to apply known quantization schemes to…
Several years ago the so-called quantum geometrodynamics in extended phase space was proposed. The main role in this version of quantum geometrodynamics is given to a wave function that carries information about geometry of the Universe as…
The talk is devoted to the "extended phase space" approach to Quantum Geometrodynamics. The premises that have led to the formulation of this approach are briefly reviewed, namely, non-trivial topology of the Universe which implies the…
We investigate certain properties of the Wheeler-DeWitt metric (for constant lapse) in canonical General Relativity associated with its non-definite nature. Contribution to the conference on Mach's principle: "From Newtons Bucket to Quantum…
We review some properties of the space of connections as the natural arena for canonical (quantum) gravity, and compare to the case of the superspace of 3-metrics. We detail how a 1-parameter family of metrics on the space of connections…
After a brief chronological sketch of developments in non-perturbative canonical quantum gravity, some of the recent mathematical results are reviewed. These include: i) an explicit construction of the quantum counterpart of Wheeler's…
The main purpose of this paper is to present a new approach to logic or what we will call superlogic. This approach constitutes a new way of looking at the connection between quantum mechanics and logic. It is a {\it geometrisation} of the…
We give an introduction into quantum cosmology with emphasis on its conceptual parts. After a general motivation we review the formalism of canonical quantum gravity on which discussions of quantum cosmology are usually based. We then…
$f(Q)$ symmetric-teleparallel gravity is considered in view of Quantum Cosmology. Specifically, we derive cosmological equations for $f(Q)$ models and then investigate the related energy conditions. In the minisuperspace formalism, the…
This series of works revisits the geometry, dynamics, and covariant phase space of spherically symmetric spacetimes with the aim of exploring the thermodynamics of spacetime from their dynamical properties. In this first paper, we examine…
We present here a cohomological analysis of the new spacetime superalgebras that arise in the context of superbrane theory. They lead to enlarged superspaces that allow us to write D-brane actions in terms of fields associated with the…
The geometrical (superembedding) approach is used as a tool for deriving from the worldvolume dynamics of superbranes field theoretical models exhibiting partial supersymmetry breaking. In this way we obtain nonlinear actions for Goldstone…
The classifying space of inertial reference frames in special relativity is naturally hyperbolic. There is a remarkable interplay between central elements of hyperbolic geometry and those of special relativity -- which, to a certain extent,…
We first roughly present a summary of the optico-mechanical analogy, which has always been so profitable in physics. Then we put forward a geometrodynamical formulation of gravity suitable to our intentions, both formally and conceptually.…
We outline the content and theoretical support for the proposal of "hydrodynamics on (mini)superspace" (or a non-linear extension of quantum cosmology) as an effective framework for quantum gravity in a cosmological context. The basis for…
The earlier approach is used for description of qubits and geometric phase parameters, the things critical in the area of topological quantum computing. The used tool, Geometric (Clifford) Algebra is the most convenient formalism for that…
In this paper, we discuss a geometrodynamical approach to particle physics, in which quantum mechanics is no more than an approximated model of nature in the microscopic scale. We derive quantum mechanics from the concept of non-local…
In this paper, we discuss the global aspect of the geometric dynamics of volumetric expansion and its application to the problem of the existence in the space-time of compact and complete spacelike hypersurface.
