Large extra dimensions lower the Planck scale to values soon accessible. Motivated by String Theory, the models of large extra dimensions predict a vast number of new effects in the energy range of the lowered Planck scale, among them the…
Rotational energy dissipation in the solar system confines the planets to the ecliptic, this can be thought of as a dimensional reduction from three dimensions to two. It is argued that the same mechanism restricts five dimensional matter…

This paper describes an approach that uses flat-spacetime dimension estimators to estimate the manifold dimension of causal sets that can be faithfully embedded into curved spacetimes. The approach is invariant under coarse graining and can…
We propose a new form of dimensional reduction that constrains dilatation instead of a component of momentum. It corresponds to replacing toroidal compactification in a Cartesian coordinate with that in the logarithm of the radius. Massive…
The Causal Dynamical Triangulation (CDT) approach to quantum gravity is a lattice approximation to the gravitational path integral. Developed by Ambj\o{}rn, Jurkiewicz and Loll, it has yielded some important results, notably the emergence…
We provide evidence that the Hausdorff dimension is 4 and the spectral dimension is 2 for two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled the matter with a central charge $c \leq 1$. For $c > 1$ the Hausdorff dimension and the spectral dimension…
The spectral dimension is an indicator of geometry and topology of spacetime and a tool to compare the description of quantum geometry in various approaches to quantum gravity. This is possible because it can be defined not only on smooth…
The spacetime short-distance structure at the Planck scale is governed by the Planck length, usually interpreted as a three-dimensional Euclidian length. As such, it is not Lorentz invariant and clashes with Einstein's special relativity,…
