In \cite{Park:2014tia} we proposed a way of quantizing gravity with the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian analyses in the ADM setup. One of the key observations was that the physical configuration space of the 4D Einstein-Hilbert action admits a…
Flat-injective presentations were introduced by Miller (2020) to provide combinatorial descriptions of $\mathbb Z^n$-graded modules. We consider them in the setting of local graded rings $R$, with grading over an abelian group, and give a…
Let $M$ be a compact closed manifold of variable negative curvature. Fix an element $\operatorname{id} \neq \gamma$ in the fundamental group $\Gamma$ of $M$, and denote the set of elements in $\Gamma$ that are conjugate to $\gamma$ by…
We study the perturbative series associated to bi-local correlators in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity, for positive weight $\lambda$ of the matter CFT operators. Starting from the known exact expression, derived by CFT and gauge theoretical…
The inclusion of a flat metric tensor in gravitation permits the formulation of a gravitational stress-energy tensor and the formal derivation of general relativity from a linear theory in flat spacetime. Building on the works of Kraichnan…
In this paper, the first family of conforming discrete three dimensional Gradgrad-complexes consisting of finite element spaces is constructed. These discrete complexes are exact in the sense that the range of each discrete map is the…
We study geometric rigidity of a class of fractals, which is slightly larger than the collection of self-conformal sets. Namely, using a new method, we shall prove that a set of this class is contained in a smooth submanifold or is totally…
To solve the path integral for quantum gravity, one needs to regularise the space-times that are summed over. This regularisation usually is a discretisation, which makes it necessary to give up some paradigms or symmetries of continuum…
Recent models for discrete euclidean quantum gravity incorporate a sum over simplicial triangulations. We describe an algorithm for simulating such models in general dimensions. As illustration we show results from simulations in four…
Characterizing shapes of high-dimensional objects via Ricci curvatures plays a critical role in many research areas in mathematics and physics. However, even though several discretizations of Ricci curvatures for discrete combinatorial…
A $d$-angulation is a planar map with faces of degree $d$. We present for each integer $d\geq 3$ a bijection between the class of $d$-angulations of girth $d$ (i.e., with no cycle of length less than $d$) and a class of decorated plane…
We prove a sharp gradient estimate for the natural Green's function of a closed manifold with positive Ricci curvature. We also show that this estimate is closely related to a family of monotonicity formulae. These results extend those…
We develop a recursive formula for counting the number of rectangulations of a square, i.e the number of combinatorially distinct tilings of a square by rectangles. Our formula specializes to give a formula counting generic rectangulations,…
The purpose of this note is to discuss several results that have been obtained in the last decade in the context of sharp adjoint Fourier restriction/Strichartz inequalities. Rather than aiming at full generality, we focus on several…
For a finite-dimensional gentle algebra, it is already known that the functorially finite torsion classes of its category of finite-dimensional modules can be classified using a combinatorial interpretation, called maximal non-crossing sets…
We explore several families of flip-graphs, all related to polygons or punctured polygons. In particular, we consider the topological flip-graphs of once-punctured polygons which, in turn, contain all possible geometric flip-graphs of…
After reviewing the JT gravity, we discuss the four saddles in the mixed correlation measures of black holes Hawking radiation in the setup of geometric evaporation of \cite{Verheijden:2021yrb}. By looking from $1d$ higher point of view and…
In this paper we study the restriction estimate for the flat disk over finite fields. Mockenhaupt and Tao initially studied this problem but their results were addressed only for dimensions $n=4,6$. We improve and extend their results to…
Quadrature formulas for spheres, the rotation group, and other compact, homogeneous manifolds are important in a number of applications and have been the subject of recent research. The main purpose of this paper is to study coordinate…
The boundary rigidity problem is a classical question from Riemannian geometry: if $(M, g)$ is a Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary, is the geometry of $M$ determined up to isometry by the metric $d_g$ induced on the boundary…
