Imposing non-integrable constraints on Ricci flows of (pseudo) Riemannian metrics we model mutual transforms to, and from, non-Riemannian spaces. Such evolutions of geometries and physical theories can be modelled for nonholonomic manifolds…

We analyze the geometry of the field equations of Cotton gravity (for a quite general energy-momentum tensor) on a static space-time. In particular, we describe the local structure of the spatial Riemannian factor. This structure, that we…

We explore the nonperturbative renormalization group flow of Quantum Einstein Gravity (QEG) on an infinite dimensional theory space. We consider "conformally reduced" gravity where only fluctuations of the conformal factor are quantized and…

This is the second paper in a series of works devoted to nonholonomic Ricci flows. By imposing non-integrable (nonholonomic) constraints on the Ricci flows of Riemannian metrics we can model mutual transforms of generalized Finsler-Lagrange…

In the framework of superfield formalism, we discuss some aspects of the cohomological features of a two (1+1)-dimensional free Abelian gauge theory described by a Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) invariant Lagrangian density. We…

In order to reconcile the wave-function collapse in quantum mechanics with the finiteness of signals' propagation in general relativity, we delve into a stochastic version of the Ricci flow and study its non-relativistic limit in presence…

A salient feature of Horava gravity is the anisotropic time variable. We propose an alternative construction of the spacetime manifold which naturally enables time anisotropy. We promote the role of curvature: the Ricci scalar R at a given…
