In this work we study the problem of generalizing the Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary terms for general quadratic theories of gravity and propose a simple condition to obtain them. From these terms we derive the junction conditions for a…

Quantum Geometrodynamics with intrinsic time development and momentric variables is presented. An underlying SU(3) group structure at each spatial point regulates the theory. The intrinsic time behavior of the theory is analyzed, together…
In a recent article, we propose a general geometric notion of initial data on big bang singularities. This notion is of interest in its own right. However, it also serves the purpose of giving a unified perspective on many of the results in…
Using the Gauss-Bonnet formula, integral of the Gaussian curvature over a 2-surface enclosed by a curve in the asymptotically flat region of a static spacetime was found to be a measure of a gravitational analogue of Aharonov-Bohm effect by…
We study the quantum evolution of the early universe, its semi-classical analogue together with inflationary regime, in view of a generalized modified theory of gravity. The action is built by supplementing the non-minimally coupled…
In this work, we deepen the correspondence between Generalized Uncertainty Principles (GUPs) and quantum dynamics on curved momentum space. In particular, we investigate the linear and quadratic GUP. Similarly to earlier work, the resulting…
The problem of deforming geometries is particularly important in the context of constructing new exact solutions of Einstein's equation. This issue often appears when extensions of the general relativity are treated, for instance in brane…
An information theory description of finite systems explicitly evolving in time is presented for classical as well as quantum mechanics. We impose a variational principle on the Shannon entropy at a given time while the constraints are set…
The role of non-inertial frames in a class of models of general relativity is clarified by means of Dirac's theory of constraints. The identification of a York canonical basis allows to give the interpretation of the gauge variables as…
