ADM tetrad gravity is an Hamiltonian reformulation of General Relativity which gives new insight to the Dark Matter Problem. We impose constraints on the parameter space of ADM tetrad gravity with a Yukawa-like ansatz for the trace of the…

We provide a new extension of general relativity (GR) which has the remarkable property of being more constrained than GR plus a cosmological constant, having one less free parameter. This is implemented by allowing the cosmological…

We introduce an action-angle formalism for bounded geodesic motion in Kerr black hole spacetime using canonical perturbation theory. Namely, we employ a Lie series technique to produce a series of canonical transformations on a Hamiltonian…

We investigate the role of external constraints in quantum field theory using the path integral formalism. We begin by reviewing the quantization of constrained systems and extend the analysis to cases where constraints are added to the…

GR and other metric theories of gravity are formulated with an arbitrary auxiliary curved background in a Lagrangian formalism. A new sketch of how to include spinor fields is included. Conserved quantities are obtained using Noether's…

We show that the Kerr-Schild ansatz can be extended from the metric to the tetrad, and then to teleparallel gravity where curvature vanishes but torsion does not. We derive the equations of motion for the Kerr-Schild null vector, and…

A restriction was found in the mathematics of the Dirac equation for a free neutrino type of particle. The basic assumption here is the equivalence of the four variables of spacetime. A perspective is defined as a metric tensor format. We…

Motivated by quantum-mechanical considerations we earlier suggested an alternative action for discretised quantum gravity which measures the perimeter of the space-time and has a dimension of length. It is the so called perimeter action,…

General relativity (GR) as described in terms of curvature by the Einstein-Hilbert action is dynamically equivalent to theories of gravity formulated in terms of spacetime torsion or non-metricity. This forms what is called the geometrical…

We show that the intrinsic angular momentum of matter in curved spacetime requires the metric-affine formulation of gravity, in which the antisymmetric part of the affine connection (the torsion tensor) is not constrained to be zero but is…

We construct models where initial and boundary conditions can be found from the fundamental rules of physics, without the need to assume them, they will be derived from the action principle. Those constraints are established from physical…

A review of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity is presented. It is emphasized that general relativity may be formulated in terms of the tetrad fields and of the torsion tensor, and that this geometrical formulation leads to…

Colored tensor models (CTM) is a random geometrical approach to quantum gravity. We scrutinize the structure of the connected correlation functions of general CTM-interactions and organize them by boundaries of Feynman graphs. For rank-$D$…

The event horizon of a black hole is arguably the most dramatic manifestation of the fact that in General Relativity, causal structure is dynamical and spacetimes can be separated into distinct regions by causal boundaries. Causal set…
