An overview of unified theory models that extend the standard model is given. A scenario describing the physics beyond the standard model is developed based on a finite quantum field theory (FQFT) and the group G=$SO(3,1)\otimes…
Is there an approach to quantum gravity which is conceptually simple, relies on very few fundamental physical principles and ingredients, emphasizes geometric (as opposed to algebraic) properties, comes with a definite numerical…
The emergent gravity proposal is examined within the framework of noncommutative QED/gravity correspondence from particle dynamics point of view.
If the presence of a gravitational field breaks the Lorentz symmetry valid for special relativity, an "absolute motion" might be detectable. We summarize a scalar theory of gravity with a such "ether", which starts from a tentative…
This study delves into modified gravity theories that are equivalent to General Relativity but involve the torsion or non-metricity scalar instead of the curvature scalar. Specifically, we focus on $f(Q,T)$ gravity, which entails an…
A possible way out of the conundrum of quantum gravity is the proposal that general relativity (GR) is not a fundamental theory but emerges from an underlying microscopic description. Despite recent interest in the emergent gravity program…
The problem of the energy-momentum conservation for matter in the gravitational field is discussed on the example of the effective gravity, which arises in superfluids. The "gravitational" field experienced by the relativistic-like massless…

The quantum field theory of gravitation is constructed in terms of Lagrangian density of Dirac fields which couple to the electromagnetic field $A_\mu$ as well as the gravitational field $\cal G$. The gravity appears in the mass term as $…
Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is a cornerstone of particle physics and also finds diverse applications in condensed matter systems. Despite its significance, the dynamics of quantum electrodynamics under a quantum quench remains…
Off-diagonal vacuum and nonvacuum configurations in Einstein gravity can mimic physical effects of modified gravitational theories of $f(R,T,R_{\mu \nu}T^{\mu \nu})$ type. To prove this statement, exact and approximate solutions are…
In recent years, the modified theory of gravity known as $f(Q)$ gravity has drawn interest as a potential alternative to general relativity. According to this theory, the gravitational force is determined by a function of the so-called…
In this essay we review the central difficulty in formulating a viable quantum field theory in which gravity is emergent at low energies, rather than mediated by a fundamental gauge field. The Weinberg-Witten theorem forbids spin 2 massless…
In this short paper we follow the entropic gravity approach and demonstrate how \(f(R)\) theories of gravity can be emergent. This is done by introducing an effective gravitational constant which is naturally arising from the \(f(R)\)'s…
As a group-theoretic foundation of gravity, it is considered an affine-Goldstone nonlinear model based upon the nonlinear realization of the global affine symmetry spontaneously broken at the Planck scale to the Poincare symmetry. It is…
There is increasing interest in the study of nonperturbative aspects of three-dimensional quantum field theories (QFT). They appear as holographic dual to theories of (strongly coupled) gravity. For instance, in Holographic Cosmology, the…
The zero trace of the known energy-momentum tensors (EMT) of the electromagnetic field (EMF) leads to contradictions in the virial theorem for a system of charged particles and incorrect conclusions on the equilibrium state of the plasma.…
In hep-th/0506040 we discussed a classically constrained model of gravity. This theory contains known solutions of General Relativity (GR), and admits solutions that are absent in GR. Here we study cosmological implications of some of these…

The principles of quantum field theory in flat spacetime suggest that gravity is mediated by a massless particle with helicity $\pm2$, the so-called graviton. It is regarded as textbook knowledge that, when the self-coupling of a particle…
