We argue that quantum gravity is nonlocal, first by recalling well-known arguments that support this idea and then by focusing on a point not usually emphasized: that making a conventional effective field theory (EFT) for quantum gravity is…
We tackle the issue of renormalizability for Tensorial Group Field Theories (TGFT) including gauge invariance conditions, with the rigorous tool of multi-scale analysis, to prepare the ground for applications to quantum gravity models. In…
We present a new bouncing cosmological solution of the non-local theory known as infinite derivative gravity, which goes beyond the recursive ansatz, ${\Box R = r_1 R +r_2}$. The non-local field equations are evaluated using the spectral…
Recently, using a local action satisfying the Wess-Zumino condition as a kinetic term of the conformal mode, we formulated a four-dimensional quantum geometry (4DQG). The conformal mode can be treated exactly, and it was shown that the part…
We study the Neumann Green's function for second order parabolic systems in divergence form with time-dependent measurable coefficients in a cylindrical domain $\mathcal{Q}=\Omega\times (-\infty,\infty)$, where $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$…
We analyze the model of a self-interacting $\phi^4_{\star}$ scalar field theory in Snyder-de Sitter space. After analytically computing the one-loop beta functions {in the small noncommutativity and curvature limit}, we solve numerically…
We propose a nonperturbative resummation scheme for the four-point connected quark-antiquark Green's function $G^4$ that shows how the Bethe-Salpeter equation may be `unquenched' with respect to quark-antiquark loops. This mechanism allows…
We formulate a nonlocal cohesive model for calculating the deformation state inside a cracking body. In this model a more complete set of physical properties including elastic and softening behavior are assigned to each point in the medium.…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the Schr\"odinger maps evolution when the domain is the hyperbolic plane. An interesting feature of this problem compared to the more widely studied case on the Euclidean plane is the existence of a rich…
In this paper we lay the foundations for the Morse theoretical study of strongly indefinite functionals on Banach manifolds by developing the local theory for a specific model class that captures several key analytical features also arising…
We give arguments that exotic smooth structures on compact and noncompact 4-manifolds are essential for some approaches to quantum gravity. We rely on the recently developed model-theoretic approach to exotic smoothness in dimension four.…
We solve the equations of motion of a complex $\phi^4$ theory coupled to some given gauge field background. The solutions are given in both cylindrical and spherical coordinates and have finite energy.
In this article we develop convergence theory for a general class of adaptive approximation algorithms for abstract nonlinear operator equations on Banach spaces, and use the theory to obtain convergence results for practical adaptive…
We study a secondary invariant, called the Meyer function, on the fundamental group of the complement of the dual variety of a smooth projective variety. This invariant have played an important role when studying the local signatures of…
In this paper, a new proof of the Positive Mass Theorem is established through a newly discovered monotonicity formula, holding along the level sets of the Green's function of an asymptotically flat $3$-manifold. In the same context and for…
We prove that the problem of constructing biharmonic conformal maps on a $4$-dimensional Einstein manifold reduces to a Yamabe-type equation. This allows us to construct an infinite family of examples on the Euclidean 4-sphere. In addition,…
We prove that certain nonlocal functionals defined on partitions made of measurable sets Gamma-converge to a local functional modeled on the perimeter in the sense of De Giorgi. Those nonlocal functionals involve generalized surface tension…
Active solids are a large class of materials, including both living soft tissues and artificial matter, that share the ability to undergo strain even in absence of external loads. While in engineered materials the actuation is typically…
A functional analytic approach to obtaining self-improving properties of solutions to linear non-local elliptic equations is presented. It yields conceptually simple and very short proofs of some previous results due to Kuusi-Mingione-Sire…
Motivated by well-known obstacles to quantum gravity, I look for the most general geometrodynamical symmetries compatible with a reduced physical configuration space for metric gravity. I argue that they lead either to a completely static…
