Inertial and gravitational mass or energy-momentum need not be the same for virtual quantum states. Separating their roles naturally leads to the gauge theory of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of an inner four-dimensional space. The…
We prove the renormalizability of quantum gravity near two dimensions. The successful strategy is to keep the volume preserving diffeomorphism as the manifest symmetry of the theory. The general covariance is recovered by further imposing…

We propose a local renormalization group procedure where length scale is changed in spacetime dependent way. Combining this scheme with an earlier observation that high energy modes in renormalization group play the role of dynamical…
The existing approaches to quantization of gravity aim at giving quantum description of 3-geometry following to the ideas of the Wheeler -- DeWitt geometrodynamics. In this description the role of gauge gravitational degrees of freedom is…
The Sine Gordon theory is generalized to include several cosine terms. This is similar to the world sheet description of a string propagating in a tachyon background. This model is studied as a (boundary) 2d euclidean field theory and also…
