We investigate the regularized four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet ($4D$ EGB) gravity with a non-minimal scalar coupling function, which is an extension of the regularized $4D$ EGB theory. By introducing non-minimal coupling to the…

We review some of the phenomenology in 4D dynamical triangulation and explore its interpretation in terms of a euclidean effective action of the continuum form $\intx \sqrt{g} [\mu -\frac{1}{16\pi G} R + \cdots]$.
Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) is a lattice approach to quantum gravity. CDT has rich phase structure, including a semiclassical phase consistent with Einstein's general relativity. Some of the observed phase transitions are second…

The construction of a consistent theory of quantum gravity is a problem in theoretical physics that has so far defied all attempts at resolution. One ansatz to try to obtain a non-trivial quantum theory proceeds via a discretization of…
