A simple argument is presented in favour of the equidistant spectrum in semiclassical limit for the horizon area of a black hole. The following quantization rules for the mass $M_N$ and horizon area $A_{Nj}$ are proposed: M_N = m_p…

While spacetime in the vicinity outside astrophysical black holes is believed to be well understood, the event horizon and the interior remain elusive. Here, we discover a degenerate infinite spectrum of novel general relativity solutions…
It is congruous with the quantum nature of the world to view the space-time geometry as an emergent structure that shows classical features only at some observational level. One can thus conceive the space-time manifold as a purely…
The paper puts together some loosely connected observations, old and new, on the concept of a quantum field and on the properties of Feynman amplitudes. We recall, in particular, the role of (exceptional) elementary induced representations…
