In the Horava-Lifshitz theory of quantum gravity, two conditions -- detailed balance and projectability -- are usually assumed. The breaking of projectability simplifies the theory, but it leads to serious problems with the theory. The…

We analyze the radiative and nonradiative linearized variables in a gravity theory within the familiy of the nonprojectable Horava theories, the Horava theory at the kinetic-conformal point. There is no extra mode in this formulation, the…
Nonperturbative treatments of the UV limit of pure gravity suggest that it admits a stable fixed point with positive Newton's constant and cosmological constant. We prove that this result is stable under the addition of a scalar field with…

With the help of a functional renormalization group, we study the dynamical breakdown of scale invariance in quantum Weyl gravity by starting from the UV fixed point that we assume to be Gaussian. To this end, we resort to two classes of…
We show that the solution corresponding to the gravitational field of a point particle at rest in 2+1 nonprojectable Horava is exactly the same as its analogous in 2+1 General Relativity. This solution is well known, it is a flat cone whose…
In this paper, we consider two different issues, stability and strong coupling, raised lately in the newly-proposed Horava-Lifshitz (HL) theory of quantum gravity with projectability condition. We find that all the scalar modes are stable…

We formulate a renormalizable quantum gravity in $2+\epsilon$ dimensions by generalizing the nonlinear sigma model approach to string theory. We find that the theory possesses the ultraviolet stable fixed point if the central charge of the…
We consider the so-called "healthy" extension of Horava gravity in the limit where the Stuckelberg field decouples from the graviton. We verify the alleged strong coupling problem in this limit, under the assumption that no large…
We present a gravitational field theory that implements Horava's proposal of foliation-preserving-diffeomorphisms symmetry and higher spatial curvature directly in the canonical formalism. Due to the higher spatial derivative the theory is…
We present the interesting case of the 2+1 nonprojectable Horava theory formulated at the critical point, where it does not posses local degrees of freedom. The critical point is defined by the value of a coupling constant of the theory. We…
