Investigating quantum gravity requires a comprehension of both, general relativity and quantum field theory. Therefore this thesis starts, after a general introduction to the treated topics, with a brief review of the field theoretical…
Weyl fermions in an external magnetic field exhibit the chiral anomaly, a non-conservation of chiral fermions. In a Weyl semimetal, a spatially inhomogeneous Weyl node separation causes similar effect by creating an intrinsic…
Conformal algebra on R x S^3 derived from quantized gravitational fields is examined. The model we study is a renormalizable quantum theory of gravity in four dimensions described by a combined system of the Weyl action for the traceless…
A theoretical study is made of conformal factors in certain types of physical theories based on classical differential geometry. Analysis of quantum versions of Weyl's theory suggest that similar field equations should be available in four,…
We extend the f(R) gravity action by including a generic dependence upon the Weyl tensor, and further generalize it to supergravity by using the super-curvature (R) and super-Weyl (W) chiral superfields in N=1 chiral curved superspace. We…
A massless Weyl-invariant dynamics of a scalar, a Dirac spinor, and electromagnetic fields is formulated in a Weyl space, $W_4$, allowing for conformal rescalings of the metric and of all fields with nontrivial Weyl weight together with the…
We study some particular modifications of gravity in search for a natural way to unify the gravitational and electromagnetic interaction. The certain components of connection in the appearing variants of the theory can be identified with…
A geometric formulation of Wilson's exact renormalisation group is presented based on a gauge invariant ultraviolet regularisation scheme without the introduction of a background field. This allows for a manifestly background independent…
We shall give some criteria for the existence of the Peter-Weyl type decomposition for modified quantum algebra, which is motivated by the fact that modified quantum algebra has commutative two crystal structures. We shall apply the…
Loop quantum gravity, a non-perturbative and manifestly background free, quantum theory of gravity implies that at the kinematical level the spatial geometry is discrete in a specific sense. The spirit of background independence also…
In this thesis, we study the implications of Quantum Gravity models for the dynamics of spacetime and the ensuing departures from classical General Relativity. The main focus is on cosmological applications, particularly the impact of…
We consider an $f(Q,T)$ type gravity model in which the scalar non-metricity $Q_{\alpha \mu \nu}$ of the space-time is expressed in its standard Weyl form, and it is fully determined by a vector field $w_{\mu}$. The field equations of the…
Weyl-invariant extensions of three-dimensional New Massive Gravity, generic n-dimensional Quadratic Curvature Gravity theories and three-dimensional Born-Infeld gravity theory are analyzed in details. As required by Weyl-invariance, the…
We give a generally covariant description, in the sense of symplectic geometry, of gauge transformations in Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization. Gauge transformations exist not only at the classical level, but also at the quantum level, where…
In this paper we apply the symmetry principle in order to search for an alternative unified explanation of several cosmological puzzles such as the present stage of accelerated expansion of the Universe and the Hubble tension issue, among…
The main results for the two-dimensional quantum gravity, conjectured from the matrix model or integrable approach, are presented in the form to be compared with the world-sheet or Liouville approach. In spherical limit the integrable side…
We provide a gauge-invariant theory of gravitation in the context of Weyl Integrable Space-Times. After making a brief review of the theory's postulates, we carefully define the observers' proper-time and point out its relation with…
In this paper we revisit and extend the work done by Chaturvedu et al, as well as Dabrowski and Parashar. The basic premise is to take a deformed coordinate system and give is a concrete realization. This realization is given by a parameter…
The Renormalization Group encodes three concepts that could be key to accelerate progress in quantum gravity. First, it provides a micro-macro connection that could connect microscopic spacetime physics to phenomenology at observationally…
The first part of this work deals with the development of a natural differential calculus on non-commutative manifolds. The second part extends the covariance and equivalence principle as well studies its kinematical consequences such as…
