In quantum gravity, the gravitational path integral involves a sum over topologies, representing the joining and splitting of multiple universes. To account for topology change, one is led to allow the creation and annihilation of closed…

In the paper [4] is presented a theory which unifies the gravitation theory and the mechanical effects, which is different from the Riemannian theories like GTR. Moreover it is built in the style of the electomagnetic field theory. This…

We derive the exact supergravity profile for the twisted scalar field emitted by a system of fractional D3 branes at a Z2 orbifold singularity supporting N=2 quiver gauge theories with unitary groups and bifundamental matter. At the…

It is rather well-known that spacetime singularities are not covariant under field redefinitions. A manifestly covariant approach to singularities in classical gravity was proposed in arXiv:2008.09387. In this paper, we start to extend this…

In various background independent approaches, quantum gravity is defined in terms of a field propagation kernel: a sum over paths interpreted as a transition amplitude between 3-geometries, expected to project quantum states of the geometry…

The recent progress in the Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) approach to quantum gravity indicates that gravitation is nonperturbatively renormalizable. We review some of the latest results in 1+1 and 3+1 dimensions with special…

The perspective that gravity may govern the unification of all elementary forces calls for extending the gauge-gravity symmetry $SL(2,C)$ to the broader local symmetry $SL(2N,C)$, where $N$ reflects the internal $SU(N)$ subgroup. This…

In brane world scenarios with a bulk scalar field between two branes it is known that 4-dimensional Einstein gravity is restored at low energies on either brane. By using a gauge-invariant gravitational and scalar perturbation formalism we…

We propose a method for demonstrating equivalences beyond the saddlepoint approximation between quantities in quantum gravity that are defined by the Euclidean path integral, without assumptions about holographic duality. The method…

Stress-tensor deformations suggest a geometric origin of emergent gravity but are typically non-local for $d>2$. We couple a seed QFT to Einstein gravity with deformation parameter $\lambda$ and evaluate the gravitational path integral at…

Quantum field theory (QFT) on fractal spacetimes is a program aiming at quantizing the gravitational interaction consistently at all energy scales thanks to an intrinsically or dynamically induced multiscale or multifractal-like spacetime…

It is proposed that a complete understanding of two-dimensional quantum gravity and its emergence in random matrix models requires fully embracing {\it both} Wigner (statistics) and 't Hooft (geometry). Using non-perturbative definitions of…

Based on periodic orbit theory we address the individual-system versus ensemble interpretation of quantum gravity from a quantum chaos perspective. To this end we show that the spectrum of geodesic motion on high-dimensional hyperbolic…

Motivated by quantum gravity on spacetimes with multi-scale geometry, we analyze quantum field theories with a self-adjoint fractional power $(\Box^2)^{\gamma/2}$ of the d'Alem\-bert\-ian in the kinetic term, for any real $\gamma>0$.…

In this review we describe a non-trivial relationship between perturbative gauge theory and gravity scattering amplitudes. At the semi-classical or tree level, the scattering amplitudes of gravity theories in flat space can be expressed as…

Following the idea of a field quantization of gravity as realized in group field theory, we construct a minisuperspace model where the wavefunction of canonical quantum cosmology (either Wheeler-DeWitt or loop quantum cosmology) is promoted…

We study the phase space structure of the Jackiw-Teitelboim model in its connection variables formulation where the gauge group of the field theory is given by local SL(2,R) (or SU(2) for the Euclidean model), i.e. the de Sitter group in…

We propose a microscopic definition of finite cut-off JT quantum gravity on the disk, both in the discretized and in the continuum points of view. The discretized formulation involves a new model of so-called self-overlapping random…

Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity with non-vanishing cosmological constant coupled to Liouville theory is considered as a non-critical string on $d$ dimensional flat spacetime. It is discussed how the presence of cosmological constant yields…

We make biframe and quaternion extensions on the noncommutative geometry, and construct the biframe spacetime for the unification of gravity and quantum field theory. The extended geometry distinguishes between the ordinary spacetime based…
