We construct a Connes spectral triple or `Dirac operator' on the non-reduced fuzzy sphere $C_\lambda[S^2]$ as realised using quantum Riemannian geometry with a central quantum metric $g$ of Euclidean signature and its associated quantum…
We introduce and study a new discrete basis of gravity constraints by making use of harmonic expansion for closed cosmological models. The full set of constraints is splitted into area-preserving spatial diffeomorphisms, forming closed…
Generalizing the Yang-Mills gauge theory, we provide the BV quantization of a field model with a generic almost-regular quadratic Lagrangian by use of the fact that the configuration space of such a field model is split into the…
In this contribution, we discuss the asymptotic safety scenario for quantum gravity by evaluating the correlation functions of dynamical metric fluctuations. This is done with a functional renormalisation group approach that disentangles…
BRST-invariant action of general relativity in the unimodular gauge proposed by Baulieu is studied without using perturbative expansions. The expression for the path integral in the unimodular gauge is reduced to a form in which a…
We develop a new operator quantization scheme for gauge theories in which the dynamics of the ghost sector is described by an N=2 supersymmetry. In this scheme no gauge condition is imposed on the gauge fields. The corresponding path…
This article presents how the BV formalism naturally inserts in the framework of noncommutative geometry for gauge theories induced by finite spectral triples. Reaching this goal entails that not only all the steps of the BV construction,…

We review the motivation, construction and physical interpretation of a semi-finite spectral triple obtained through a rearrangement of central elements of loop quantum gravity. The triple is based on a countable set of oriented graphs and…
The present work contains a complete formulation of the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism in the framework of locally covariant field theory. In the first part of the thesis the classical theory is investigated with a particular focus on…
We apply an earlier formulated programme for quantization of nonabelian gauge theories to one-flavour chromodynamics. This programme consists in a complete reformulation of the functional integral in terms of gauge invariant quantities. For…
We discuss physical spectra and correlation functions of topological minimal models coupled to topological gravity. We first study the BRST formalism of these theories and show that their BRST operator $Q=Q_s+Q_v$ can be brought to $Q_s$ by…
This is a survey of our program of perturbative quantization of gauge theories on manifolds with boundary compatible with cutting/pasting and with gauge symmetry treated by means of a cohomological resolution (Batalin-Vilkovisky) formalism.…
In an earlier paper it has been shown that the ultra violet divergence structure of anomalous U(1) axial vector gauge model in the stochastic quantization scheme is different from that in the conventional quantum field theory. Also it has…
This review is devoted to the study of stationary solutions of linear and nonlinear equations from relativistic quantum mechanics, involving the Dirac operator. The solutions are found as critical points of an energy functional. Contrary to…
We describe the idea of studying quantum gravity by means of dynamical triangulations and give examples of its implementation in 2, 3 and 4 space time dimensions. For $d=2$ we consider the generic hermitian 1-matrix model. We introduce the…
A geometric relationship between loop quantum gravity and partitioned (triangulated) string theory is discussed. Combinatorial analysis reveals that three spatial and three curvature dimensions, intrinsic to the partitioned string, are…

Ensembles of random fuzzy non-commutative geometries may be described in terms of finite (\(N^2\)-dimensional) Dirac operators and a probability measure. Dirac operators of type \((p,q)\) are defined in terms of commutators and…
We study the quantum conformal gravity whose dynamics is governed by a single dimensionless gravitational coupling with negative beta function. Since the Euler term is not dynamical classically, the constant in front of it is not an…
