Five fundamental scales of mass follow from holographic limitations, a self-similar law for angular momentum and the basic scaling laws for a fractal universe with dimension 2. The five scales correspond to the observable universe,…
Hausdorff dimension results are a classical topic in the study of path properties of random fields. This article presents an alternative approach to Hausdorff dimension results for the sample functions of a large class of self-affine random…
There are various notions of dimension in fractal geometry to characterise (random and non-random) subsets of $\mathbb R^d$. In this expository text, we discuss their analogues for infinite subsets of $\mathbb Z^d$ and, more generally, for…
We compute the spectrum of scaling dimensions of Coulomb branch operators in 4d rank-2 $\mathcal{N}{=}2$ superconformal field theories. Only a finite rational set of scaling dimensions is allowed. It is determined by using information about…
We consider the time-dependent statistical distributions of diffusive processes in relaxation to a stationary state for simple, two dimensional chaotic models based upon random walks on a line. We show that the cumulative functions of the…
Fibonacci word fractals are a class of fractals that have been studied recently, though the word they are generated from is more widely studied in combinatorics. The Fibonacci word can be used to draw a curve which possesses…
Strong-coupling analysis of two-dimensional chiral models, extended to 15th order, allows for the identification of a scaling region where known continuum results are reproduced with great accuracy, and asymptotic scaling predictions are…

We calculate the Hausdorff dimension, $d_H$, and the correlation function exponent, $\eta$, for polymerized two dimensional quantum gravity models. If the non-polymerized model has correlation function exponent $\eta_0 >3$ then…
We propose that large quantum fluctuations of the conformal factor drastically modify classical general relativity at cosmological distance scales, resulting in a scale invariant phase of quantum gravity in the far infrared. We derive…

Parabolic bifurcations in one complex dimension demonstrate a wide variety of interesting dynamical phenomena. In this paper we consider parabolic bifurcations of families of diffeomorphisms in two complex dimensions. Specifically we…
We study the average number of simplices $N'(r)$ at geodesic distance $r$ in the dynamical triangulation model of euclidean quantum gravity in four dimensions. We use $N'(r)$ to explore definitions of curvature and of effective global…
We show that there exists a divergent correlation length in 2d quantum gravity for the matter fields close to the critical point provided one uses the invariant geodesic distance as the measure of distance. The corresponding…
