We give a short proof of the existence of a small piece of null infinity for $(3+1)$-dimensional spacetimes evolving from asymptotically flat initial data as solutions of the Einstein vacuum equations. We introduce a modification of the…
The basic framework for this article is the causal set approach to discrete quantum gravity (DQG). Let $Q_n$ be the collection of causal sets with cardinality not greater than $n$ and let $K_n$ be the standard Hilbert space of…
We have studied classical and quantum solutions of 2+1 dimensional Einstein gravity theory. Quantum theory is defined through the local conserved angular momentum and mass operators in the case of spherically symmetric space-time. The de…
We formulate Friedmann's equations as second-order linear differential equations. This is done using techniques related to the Schwarzian derivative that selects the $\beta$-times $t_\beta:=\int^t a^{-2\beta}$, where $a$ is the scale…
We obtain the quantized momentum eigenvalues, $P_n$ , and the momentum eigenstates for the space-like Schr\"odinger equation, the Feinberg-Horodecki equation, with the general potential which is constructed by the temporal counterpart of…
The well-known BTZ black hole solution of (2+1) Einstein's gravity, in the presence of a cosmological constant, is treated both at the classical and quantum level. Classically, the imposition of the two manifest local Killing fields of the…
The absence of unique time evolution in Einstein's spacetime description of gravity leads to the hitherto unresolved `problem of time' in quantum gravity. Shape Dynamics is an objectively equivalent representation of gravity that trades…
The Einsteinian Theory of Gravitation ("General Theory of Relativity") is founded essentially; on the reception that the geometrical properties of the 4-dimensional space-time continuum are defined from the matter in it. Contrary to this,…
We introduce a new kind of super warped product spaces $\bar{M}_{_{(I)}}=\textbf{I}^{1|0}\times_f M^{m|n}$, $\bar{M}_{_{(II)}}=\textbf{I}^{0|1}\times_{f} M^{m|n}$, and $\bar{M}_{_{(III)}}=\textbf{I}^{1|1}\times_{f} M^{m|n}$, where $M^{m|n}$…
We study time-dependent compactification of extra dimensions. We assume that the spacetime is spatially homogeneous, and solve the vacuum Einstein equations without cosmological constant in more than three dimensions. We consider globally…
A class of gauges for the Einstein vacuum equations is introduced, along with three symmetric hyperbolic systems. The first implies the local realizability of the gauge. The second is the dynamical subset of the field equations. The third…
A general classical theorem is presented according to which all invariant relations among the space time metric scalars, when turned into functions on the Phase Space of full Pure Gravity (using the Canonical Equations of motion), become…
A new solution to Einstein's equations with a negative bulk cosmological constant in infinite (1+5)-spacetime is found. It is shown that the zero modes of all kinds of matter fields and 4-gravity are localized in (1+3) subspace by the…
We present a detailed account of the isomonodromic quantization of dimensionally reduced Einstein gravity with two commuting Killing vectors. This theory constitutes an integrable ``midi-superspace" version of quantum gravity with…
We consider the equation of motion in the gravity sector that arises from the non-linear realisation of the semi-direct product of E11 and its first fundamental representation, denoted by l1, in four dimensions. This equation is first order…
We present numerical solutions of several spacetimes of physical interest, including binary black hole mergers, in shift-symmetric Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (ESGB) gravity, and describe our methods for solving the full equations of…
We consider static cosmological solutions along with their stability properties in the framework of a recently proposed theory of massive gravity. We show that the modifcation introduced in the cosmological equations leads to several new…
We consider localization of gravity in domain wall solutions of Einstein's gravity coupled to a scalar field with a generic potential. We discuss conditions on the scalar potential such that domain wall solutions are non-singular. Such…
The generalized Einstein action is treated quantum mechanically by using a quadratic lagrangian form. The canonical quantization of this action is obtained by using the auxiliary variable to define the generalized momentum. Physical…
