The spherically symmetric reduction of higher dimensional Einstein-scalar theory leads to lower dimensional dilatonic gravity with dilaton coupled scalar (for example, from 4D to 2D system). We calculate trace anomaly and anomaly induced…
We explore dilaton gravity with general dilaton potentials in the semi-classical limit viewed both as a gas of blunt defects and also as a semi-classical theory in its own right. We compare the exact defect gas picture with that obtained by…

Recently we showed that in semiclassical 2D dilaton gravity the regularity of a black hole horizon may be compatible with divergencies of Polyakov-Liouville stresses on it, the temperature deviating from its Hawking value. This makes the…
We discuss 2D dilaton supergravity in the presence of boundaries. Generic ones lead to results different from black hole horizon boundaries. In particular, the respective numbers of physical degrees of freedom differ, thus generalizing the…
Nowadays it is widely accepted that the evolution of the universe was driven by some scalar degrees of freedom both on its early stage and at present. The corresponding cosmological models often involve some scalar fields introduced ad hoc.…

Deformations of gauged WZW actions are constructed for any pair $(G,H)$ by taking different embeddings of the gauge group $H\subset G$ as it acts on the left and right of the group element $g$. This leads to models that are dual to each…

Models of loop quantum gravity based on real connections have a deformed notion of general covariance, which leads to the phenomenon of signature change. This result is confirmed here in a general analysis of all midisuperspace models…
