Observations of galaxies over large distances reveal the possibility of a fractal distribution of their positions. The source of fractal behavior is the lack of a length scale in the two body gravitational interaction. However, even with…
Local scaling of a set means that in a neighborhood of a point the structure of the set can be mapped into a finer scale structure of the set. These scaling transformations are compact sets of locally affine (that is: with uniformly…

In various theories of quantum gravity, one observes a change in the spectral dimension from the topological spatial dimension $d$ at large length scales to some smaller value at small, Planckian scales. While the origin of such a flow is…
This paper contains a comparative study of two families of simple curves drawn in the plane. On the one hand, we have the fractal curves on the unit interval, with self-similar structure, which have associated a Hausdorff dimension. On the…

I propose two scale-dependent measures of the homogeneity of the quantum geometry determined by an ensemble of causal triangulations. The first measure is volumetric, probing the growth of volume with graph geodesic distance. The second…
In order to understand characteristics common to distributions which have both fractal and non-fractal scale regions in a unified framework, we introduce a concept of typical scale. We employ a model of 2d gravity modified by the $R^2$ term…
