I describe several conceptual aspects of a particular paradigm which treats the field equations of gravity as emergent. These aspects are related to the features of classical gravitational theories which defy explanation within the…
Recently, a novel 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity has been proposed by Glavan and Lin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 081301 (2020)] by rescaling the coupling $\alpha \rightarrow \alpha/(D-4)$ and taking the limit $D\rightarrow 4$ at the level of…
This article is an extended version of the peer-reviewed publication; Moffat and Wang, J Phys Math 2018, 9:4 DOI: 10.4172/2090-0902.1000289 The article sets out to address a number of issues concerning Loop Quantum Gravity raised by…
We explore in detail the prospects of obtaining a four-dimensional de Sitter universe in classical supergravity models with warped and time-independent extra dimensions, presenting explicit cosmological solutions of the $(4+n)$-dimensional…
We suggest that the surprising one-loop finiteness of 6D half-maximal supergravities recently discovered in \cite{Huang:2025nyr} might be related to anomaly-free $SO(5, 21)$ G-duality symmetry in $(2,0)$ supergravity with 21 tensor…
Here I give a description of Alexandrov 4-point comparison via quadratic forms and then propose a natural 5-point condition which might have some future. Consider this note as a letter from me --- do not take it seriously.
In this Reply we argue that the conclusions derived in Ref. arXiv:1301.1241 are questionable.
Anomaly detection is being regarded as an unsupervised learning task as anomalies stem from adversarial or unlikely events with unknown distributions. However, the predictive performance of purely unsupervised anomaly detection often fails…
We show that requiring unbroken supersymmetry everywhere in black-hole-type solutions of N=2,d=4 supergravity coupled to vector supermultiplets ensures in most cases absence of naked singularities. We formulate three specific conditions…
Anomaly detection suffered from the lack of anomalies due to the diversity of abnormalities and the difficulties of obtaining large-scale anomaly data. Semi-supervised anomaly detection methods are often used to solely leverage normal data…
We show an inconsistence of the novel 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity by considering a quantum tunneling process of vacua. Using standard semi-classical techniques, we analytically study the vacuum decay rate for all allowed cases in the…
This paper presents a detailed discussion of the issue of supergravity perturbations around the flat five dimensional superspace required for manifest superspace formulations of the supergravity side of the AdS_{5}/CFT_{4} Correspondence.
This is a response to the note criticizing my paper A New Paradox in Superluminal Signaling. The criticism is based, among other things, on arbitrarily postulated statement about invarience of direction of superluminal information transfer.…
Over the last few years part of the quantum-gravity community has adopted a more optimistic attitude toward the possibility of finding experimental contexts providing insight on non-classical properties of spacetime. I review those…
We elucidate the physics underlying ``anomaly mediation'', giving several alternative derivations of the formulas for gaugino and scalar masses. We stress that this phenomenon is of a type familiar in field theory, and does not represent an…
New cases of the multiplicity conjecture are considered.
It seems to be generally accepted that apparently anomalous cosmological observations, such as accelerating expansion, etc., necessarily are inconsistent with standard general relativity and standard matter sources. Following the…
We present a complete solution of the constraints for three-dimensional N=2 conformal supergravity in terms of unconstrained prepotentials. This allows us to develop a prepotential description of the off-shell versions of N=2 Poincare and…
For d=10 N=1 SUGRA coupled to d=10 N=1 SYM, anomaly cancellation places severe constraints on the allowed gauge groups. Besides the ones known to appear in string theory, only U(1)^496 and E_8 x U(1)^248 are allowed. There are no known…
This paper advocates the usefulness of new theories of uncertainty for the purpose of modeling some facets of uncertain knowledge, especially vagueness, in AI. It can be viewed as a partial reply to Cheeseman's (among others) defense of…
