Quantization of the dilaton gravity in two dimensions is discussed by a semiclassical approximation. We compute the fixed-area partition function to one-loop order and obtain the string susceptibility on Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus.…
We study the local behaviour of static solutions of a general 1+1 dimensional dilaton gravity theory coupled to scalar fields and Abelian gauge fields near horizons. This type of model includes in particular reductions of higher dimensional…
We present a solvable model of two-dimensional dilaton-gravity coupled to a massless scalar field. We locally integrate the field equations and briefly discuss the properties of the solutions. For a particular choice of the coupling between…
In this thesis the first order formulation of generalized dilaton gravities in two dimensions coupled to a Dirac fermion is considered. After a Hamiltonian analysis of the gauge symmetries and constraints of the theory and fixing…
It is argued that the existence of constant dilaton field solutions is a generic feature of string-inspired dilaton gravity. Such solutins arise in the extreme limit of black hole metrics. It is shown that in a strong coupling region…
We derive and solve the full set of scalar perturbation equations for a class of $Z_2$-symmetric five-dimensional geometries generated by a bulk cosmological constant and by a 3-brane non-minimally coupled to a bulk dilaton field. The…
We derive the Klein--Gordon equation for a single scalar field coupled to gravity at second order in perturbation theory and leading order in slow-roll. This is done in two ways: we derive the Klein--Gordon equation first using the Einstein…
The symmetries of generic 2D dilaton models of gravity with (and without) matter are studied in some detail. It is shown that $\delta_2$, one of the symmetries of the matterless models, can be generalized to the case where matter fields of…
This work investigates kink solutions in one-dimensional scalar field theories. We begin with a review of the formalism used to obtain these solutions, presenting the BPS formalism and linear stability analysis. Next, we explore new models…
We show a general method to solve 2+1 dimensional dilatonic Maxwell-Einstein equation with a positive or negative cosmological constant. All the physical solutions are listed with assumptions that they are static, rotationally symmetric,…
We study a class of noncanonical real scalar field models in $(1+1)$-dimensional flat space-time. We first derive the general criterion for the classical linear stability of an arbitrary static soliton solution of these models. Then we…
Using the renormalization-group formalism, a sigma model of a special type- in which the metric and the dilaton depend explicitly on one of the string coordinates only-is investigated near two dimensions. It is seen that dilatonic gravity…
We obtain the general static solutions of the axially symmetric (2+1)-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory by dimensionally reducing it to a 2-dimensional dilaton gravity theory. The solutions consist of the magnetically charged…
The most general dilaton gravity theory in 2 spacetime dimensions is considered. A Hamiltonian analysis is performed and the reduced phase space, which is two dimensional, is explicitly constructed in a suitable parametrization of the…
We investigate Brans-Dicke dilaton gravity theories in 2+1 dimensions. We show that the reduced field equations for solutions with diagonal metric and depending only on one spacetime coordinate have a continuous O(2) symmetry. Using this…
In this paper the quantization of the 2$+$1-dimensional gravity couplet to the massless Dirac field is carried out. The problem is solved by the application of the new Dynamic Quantization Method [1,2]. It is well-known that in general…
We study the equilibria of a self-gravitating scalar field in the region outside a reflecting barrier. By introducing a potential difference between the barrier and infinity, we create a kink which cannot decay to a zero energy state. In…
Two dimensional gravity with torsion is proved to be equivalent to special types of generalized 2d dilaton gravity. E.g. in one version, the dilaton field is shown to be expressible by the extra scalar curvature, constructed for an…
