We generate numerically on a lattice an ensemble of stationary metrics, with spherical symmetry, which have Einstein action $S_E \ll \hbar$. This is obtained through a Metropolis algorithm with weight $\exp(-\beta^2 S^2_E)$ and $\beta \gg…
We consider operators of boundary value problems for 3D- Dirac operators in unbounded domains with the uniformly regular boundary. We give effective conditions of self-adjointness of operators under consideration and a description of their…
A variational phase space is constructed for a compact and piecewise flat Riemannian manifold. An extended action functional is provided such that the variational dynamics generate a symplectic flow on the phase space. This symplectic flow…
The gauge gravity action for general relativity in any dimension using a connection for the Euclidean or Poincar\'e group and a symmetry-breaking scalar field is written using a particularly simple matrix technique. A discrete version of…
Euclidean gravity provides an interesting test system for an analysis of cosmological perturbations in an effective Hamiltonian constraint with holonomy modifications from loop quantum gravity. This paper presents a discussion of scalar…
We consider the normal operator of the X-ray transform, weighted with Gaussian weights, in Euclidean space with dimension at least 3. We show the eigenfunctions of the normal operator are joint eigenfunctions of the harmonic oscillator and…
A formalism is presented which allows covariant three-dimensional bound-state equations to be derived systematically from four-dimensional ones without the use of delta-functions. The amplitude for the interaction of a bound state described…

We introduce a master constraint operator on the kinematical Hilbert space of loop quantum gravity representing a set of gauge conditions which classically fix the densitized triad to be diagonal. We argue that the master constraint…

We provide a novel transcription of monotone operator theory to the non-Euclidean finite-dimensional spaces $\ell_1$ and $\ell_{\infty}$. We first establish properties of mappings which are monotone with respect to the non-Euclidean norms…
We use the averaged variational principle introduced in a recent article on graph spectra [7] to obtain upper bounds for sums of eigenvalues of several partial differential operators of interest in geometric analysis, which are analogues of…
This dissertation presents and prove the viability of a non-standard method for controlling the state of a quantum system by modifying its boundary conditions instead of relying on the action of external fields. The standard approach to…
A good hundred years after the necessity for a quantum theory of gravity was acknowledged by Albert Einstein, the search for it continues to be an ongoing endeavour. Nevertheless, the field still evolves rapidly as manifested by the recent…
The paper is the first of two parts of the work devoted to the investigation of constructing quantum theory of a closed universe as a system without asynptotic states. In Part I the role of asymptotic states in quantum theory of gravity is…
We perform a general computation of the off-shell one-loop divergences in Einstein gravity, in a two-parameter family of path integral measures, corresponding to different ways of parametrizing the graviton field, and a two-parameter family…
We study a generalized version of the Hamiltonian constraint operator in nonperturbative loop quantum gravity. The generalization is based on admitting arbitrary irreducible SU(2) representations in the regularization of the operator, in…
