Four-dimensional spacetime, together with a natural generalisation to extra dimensions, is obtained through an analysis of the structures and symmetries deriving from possible arithmetic expressions for one-dimensional time. On taking the…

Gravitational waves with a space-translation Killing field are considered. In this case, the 4-dimensional Einstein vacuum equations are equivalent to the 3-dimensional Einstein equations with certain matter sources. This interplay between…

The information loss occurs in an evaporating black hole only if the time evolution ends at the singularity. But as we shall see, the black hole solutions admit analytical extensions beyond the singularities, to globally hyperbolic…

A new definition of entropy is introduced using a model that simulates an expanding space-time compatible with the fundamental principle of cosmology. The entropy is obtained by mean of a state function that measures the variation of the…

Holographic duality describes gravitational theories in terms of quantum many-body systems. In holography, quantum information theory provides a crucial tool that directly connects microscopic structures of these systems to the geometries…

Theorists are often told to express things in the "observational plane". One can do this for space-time geometry, considering "visual" observations of matter in our universe by a single observer over time, with no assumptions about…

We investigate the effect of different metrizations of probability spaces on the information geometric complexity of entropic motion on curved statistical manifolds. Specifically, we provide a comparative analysis based upon Riemannian…

Assuming the minimal time to send a bit of information in the Einstein clock synchronization of the two clocks located at different positions, we introduce the extended metric to the information space. This modification of relativity…

In the context of averaging an inhomogeneous cosmological model, we propose a natural measure identical to the Kullback-Leibler relative information entropy, which expresses the distinguishability of the local inhomogeneous density field…

The effective evolution of an inhomogeneous cosmological model may be described in terms of spatially averaged variables. We point out that in this context, quite naturally, a measure arises which is identical to a fluid model of the…

There is strong evidence that the area of any surface limits the information content of adjacent spacetime regions, at 10^(69) bits per square meter. We review the developments that have led to the recognition of this entropy bound, placing…

The description of gravity in the form of an embedding theory is based on the hypothesis that our space-time is a four-dimensional surface in a flat ten-dimensional space. The choice of standard Einstein-Hilbert action leads in this case to…

Gravity is a macroscopic manifestation of a microscopic quantum theory of space-time, just as the theories of elasticity and hydrodynamics are the macroscopic manifestation of the underlying quantum theory of atoms. The connection of…

A spacetime is a connected 4-dimensional semi-Riemannian manifold endowed with a metric $g$ with signature $(- + + +)$. The geometry of a spacetime is described by the metric tensor $g$ and the Ricci tensor $S$ of type $(0, 2)$ whereas the…

A systematic study of deformations of four-dimensional Einsteinian space-times embedded in a pseudo-Euclidean space $E^N$ of higher dimension is presented. Infinitesimal deformations, seen as vector fields in $E^N$, can be divided in two…
