Borrowing techniques from cosmology, I compute the power spectrum of quantum fluctuations in (2+1)-dimensional causal dynamical triangulations, a promising discrete path integral approach to quantum gravity. The results agree with those of…
We formulate a dynamically triangulated model of three-dimensional Lorentzian quantum gravity whose spatial sections are flat two-tori. It is shown that the combinatorics involved in evaluating the one-step propagator (the transfer matrix)…
We study the fractal structure of the surface in two-dimensional quantum Regge calculus by performing Monte Carlo simulation with up to 200,000 triangles. The result can be compared with the universal scaling function obtained analytically…
Physics in (canonical) quantum gravity needs to be manifestly diffeomorphism-invariant. Consequently, physical observables need to be formulated in terms of manifestly diffeomorphism-invariant operators, which are necessarily composite.…
We review some of the phenomenology in 4D dynamical triangulation and explore its interpretation in terms of a euclidean effective action of the continuum form $\intx \sqrt{g} [\mu -\frac{1}{16\pi G} R + \cdots]$.
We analyze the universal properties of a new two-dimensional quantum gravity model defined in terms of Locally Causal Dynamical Triangulations (LCDT). Measuring the Hausdorff and spectral dimensions of the dynamical geometrical ensemble, we…
Quantum annealing aims to provide a faster method for finding the minima of complicated functions, compared to classical computing, so there is an increasing interest in the relaxation dynamics of quantum spin systems. Moreover, it is known…
This Ph.D. thesis pursues two goals: The study of the geometrical structure of two-dimensional quantum gravity and in particular its fractal nature. To address these questions we review the continuum formalism of quantum gravity with…
In a natural extension of the relativity principle we argue that a quantum theory of gravity involves two fundamental scales associated with both dynamical space-time as well as dynamical momentum space. This view of quantum gravity is…
The study addresses matter-coupled modified gravity, particularly $f (T, \mathcal{T})$ gravity, unveiling distinct formalism. The research further discusses stability analysis, and the dynamical system approach, exploring the dynamics of…
A new numerical framework, based on the use of a simple first order strongly hyperbolic evolution equations, is introduced and tested in case of 4-dimensional spherically symmetric gravitating systems. The analytic setup is chosen such that…
The metric $f(R)$ theories of gravity are generalized to five-dimensional spacetimes. By assuming a hypersurface-orthogonal Killing vector field representing the compact fifth dimension, the five-dimensional theories are reduced to their…
Lattice formulations of gravity can be used to study non-perturbative aspects of quantum gravity. Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) is a lattice model of gravity that has been used in this way. It has a built-in time foliation but is…
A five-dimensional scenario with a non compact extra dimension of infinite extent is studied, in which a single three-brane is affected by small Gaussian fluctuations in the extra dimension. The average magnitude of the fluctuations is of…
The Causal Dynamical Triangulation (CDT) approach to quantum gravity is a lattice approximation to the gravitational path integral. Developed by Ambj\o{}rn, Jurkiewicz and Loll, it has yielded some important results, notably the emergence…
Quantum Monte Carlo simulations offer an unbiased means to study the static and dynamic properties of quantum critical systems, while quantum field theory provides direct analytical results. We study three dimensional, critical quantum…
We extend a model of four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity to include degenerate triangulations in addition to combinatorial triangulations traditionally used. Relaxing the constraint that every 4-simplex is uniquely defined by a set…
Loop quantum gravity and cosmology are reviewed with an emphasis on evaluating the dynamics, rather than constructing it. The three crucial parts of such an analysis are (i) deriving effective equations, (ii) controlling the theory's…
We apply the multicanonical technique to the three dimensional dynamical triangulation model, which is known to exhibit a first order phase transition with the Einstein-Hilbert action. We first clarify the first order nature of the phase…
We propose a Monte Carlo method to efficiently find, count, and sample abstract triangulations of a given manifold M. The method is based on a biased random walk through all possible triangulations of M (in the Pachner graph), constructed…
