We establish the spacetime Penrose inequality in spherical symmetry in spacetime dimensions $n+1\geq3$ with charge and cosmological constant from the initial data perspective. We also show that this result extends to the Gauss-Bonnet theory…

A model of a two-sheeted universe in the quantum theory of gravity is proposed, based on the definition of 3D invariant and gauge-invariant proper time of the universe. A uniform time in a closed universe is introduced in the class of…

We study the implications of a change of coordinatization of momentum space for theories with curved momentum space. We of course find that after a passive diffeomorphism the theory yields the same physical predictions, as one would expect…

A new class of non-static higher dimensional vacuum solutions in space-time -mass (STM) theory of gravity is found. This solution represent expanding universe without big bang singularity and the higher dimension of these models shrinks as…

We show that the random adjacency matrices induced by the chronological relations and i.i.d. samples of two spacetimes coincide in law if and only if the spacetimes in question are smoothly isometric. A similar result holds for weighted…

Based on an identified quantum relativity symmetry the contraction of which gives the Newtonian approximation of Galilean relativity, a quantum model of the physical space can be formulated with the Newtonian space seen in a way as the…

In this paper we will extend the notion of tangent bundle to a $\z$ graded tangent bundle. This graded bundle has a Lie algebroid structure and we can develop notions semi-riemannian metrics, Levi-civita connection, and curvature, on it. In…

A modification of the homogeneous isotropic model of the Friedman universe with a scalar field is proposed, in which the proper time of the universe is added to the dynamic variables under the additional condition of its classical dynamics.…

The classical evolution of the universe can be seen as a parametrised worldline of the minisuperspace, with the time variable $t$ the parameter that parametrises the worldline. The time reversal symmetry of the field equations implies that…

A fundamental spacetime scale in the universe leads to noncommutative spacetime and thence to a modified energy - momentum dispersion relation or equivalently to a modification of Lorentz symmetry as shown by the author and others. This…
