Diakonov theory of quantum gravity, in which tetrads emerge as the bilinear combinations of the fermionis fields,\cite{Diakonov2011} suggests that in general relativity the metric may have dimension 2, i.e. $[g_{\mu\nu}]=1/[L]^2$. Several…
Two-dimensional quantum gravity, defined either via scaling limits of random discrete surfaces or via Liouville quantum gravity, is known to possess a geometry that is genuinely fractal with a Hausdorff dimension equal to 4. Coupling…
We propose a method for computing universal (in Vogel's sense) quantum dimension formulae for universal multiplets whose associated $sl$, $so$, and $sp$ representations are nonzero. The method uses the relation between $sl$ and $so$…
