Dimensional reduction of generalized gravity theories or string theories generically yields dilaton fields in the lower-dimensional effective theory. Thus at the level of D=4 theories, and cosmology many models contain more than just one…
We present novel classes of non-stationary solutions to the five-dimensional generalized Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory with cosmological constant, in which the Maxwell's filed and the cosmological constant couple to the dilaton field. In…
The cosmological constant problem is one of the long-standing issues of modern physics. While we can measure the value of the cosmological constant with great accuracy, we are not able to calculate it in a coherent theoretical framework. On…
Gravity is uniquely situated in between classical topological field theories and standard local field theories. This can be seen in the the quasi-local nature of gravitational observables, but is nowhere more apparent than in gravity's…

Unlike Einstein gravity, dilaton-Maxwell gravity with matter is renormalizable in $2+\epsilon$ dimensions and has a smooth $\epsilon\to 0$ limit.By performing a renormalization- group study of this last theory we show that the gravitational…

A new class of integrable two-dimensional dilaton gravity theories, in which scalar matter fields satisfy the Toda equations, is proposed. The simplest case of the Toda system is considered in some detail, and on this example we outline how…
