A class of integrable models of 1+1 dimensional dilaton gravity coupled to scalar and electromagnetic fields is obtained and explicitly solved. More general models are reduced to 0+1 dimensional Hamiltonian systems, for which two integrable…
We present a new quantization scheme for $2D$ gravity coupled to an $SU(2)$ principal chiral field and a dilaton; this model represents a slightly simplified version of stationary axisymmetric quantum gravity. The analysis makes use of the…
Integrable models of dilaton gravity coupled to electromagnetic and scalar matter fields in dimensions 1+1 and 0+1 are briefly reviewed. The 1+1 dimensional integrable models are either solved in terms of explicit quadratures or reduced to…
A two-dimensional (2D) dilaton gravity model, whose static solutions have the same features of the Reissner-Nordstrom solutions, is obtained from the dimensional reduction of a four-dimensional (4D) string effective action invariant under…
The aim of this review is to discuss the ways to obtain results based on gravity with higher derivatives in D-dimensional world. We considered the following ways: (1) reduction to scalar tensor gravity, (2) direct solution of the equations…
We give an explicit canonical transformation which transforms a generic chiral 2D dilaton gravity model into a free field theory.
We study some two-dimensional dilaton gravity models using the formal theory of partial differential equations. This allows us to prove that the reduced phase space is two-dimensional without an explicit construction. By using a convenient…
Quantum theory of dilaton gravity coupled to a nonlinear sigma model with a maximally symmetric target space is studied in $2+\epsilon$ dimensions. The ultraviolet stable fixed point for the curvature of the nonlinear sigma model demands a…
We argue that a certain distribution of matter in higher dimensions can provide the correct behaviour of gravity in four dimensions. Some explicit examples illustrating the idea are considered.
General two-dimensional pure dilaton-gravity can be discussed in a unitary way by introducing suitable field redefinitions. The new fields are directly related to the original spacetime geometry and in the canonical picture they generalize…
We apply CGHS-type dilaton gravity model to (1+1)-dimensional cosmological situations. First the behavior of a compact 1-dimensional universe (i.e. like a closed string) is classified on the assumption of homogeneity of universe. Several…
Two models of dilatonic gravity are investigated: (i) dilaton-Yang-Mills gravity and (ii) higher-derivative dilatonic gravity. Both are renormalizable in $2+\epsilon$ dimensions and have a smooth limit for $\epsilon \rightarrow 0$. The…
A recently introduced approach for the dynamical analysis and quantization of field theoretical models with second class constraints is ilustrated applied to linearized gravity in 3-D. The canonical structure of two different models of…
Dilaton gravities in two dimensions can be formulated as particular Poisson sigma models. Target space diffeomorphisms map different models to each other and establish a one-to-one correspondence between their classical solutions. We obtain…
We study two-dimensional F(R) Horava-Lifshitz gravity from the Hamiltonian point of view. We determine constraints structure with emphasis on the careful separation of the second class constraints and global first class constraints. We…
We present three types of non-conformal symmetries for a wide class of 2D dilaton-gravity models. For the particular CGHS, or string-inspired model, a linear combination of these symmetries is conformal and turns out to be the well-known…
A hybrid model which allows to interpolate between the (original) Regge approach and dynamical triangulations is introduced. The gained flexibility in the measure is exploited to study dynamical triangulation in a fixed geometry. Our…
We consider gravitational perturbations of 2D dilaton gravity systems and show that these can be recast into $T\bar{T}$-deformations (at least) under certain conditions, where $T$ means the energy-momentum tensor of the matter field coupled…
In the paper a two-dimensional integro-differential system is considered. Using some variational methods we give sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the considered system. Moreover, we show that the…
