Abstract Quantum theories of gravity are generally expected to have some degree of non-locality, with familiar local physics emerging only in a particular limit. Perturbative quantum gravity around backgrounds with isome...

We study a topological phase transition in spacetime through which the early universe evolved, growing exponentially due to quantum fluctuations of gravity, described as a geometric quantum field with a noncommutative, n...

We show that generalized symmetries cannot be charged under a continuous global symmetry having a Noether current. Further, only non-compact generalized symmetries can be charged under a continuous global symmetry. These...

Liouville field theory has long been a cornerstone of two-dimensional quantum field theory and quantum gravity, which has attracted much recent attention in the mathematics literature. Timelike Liouville field theory is ...

Abstract The Carroll group arises in the vanishing speed of light limit of the Poincaré group and was initially discarded as just a mathematical curiosity. However, recent developments have proved otherwise. Carroll and...

The vacuum entanglement entropy in quantum field theory provides nonperturbative information about renormalization group flows. Most studies so far have focused on the universal terms, related to the Weyl anomaly in even...

This book presents a comprehensive review of the subject of gravitational effects in quantum field theory. Although the treatment is general, special emphasis is given to the Hawking black hole evaporation effect, and to...

We propose a new framework for solving the hierarchy problem which does not rely on either supersymmetry or technicolor. In this framework, the gravitational and gauge interactions become united at the weak scale, which ...

We revisit, advancing a useful approximation, a recently formulated QFT treatment that successfully overcomes any troubles with infinities for non-renormalizable QFTs [J. Phys. Comm. 2 115029 (2018)]. Such methodology wa...

Previously published treatment is rather involved. Here we present a useful approximation to the concomitant derivation that yields a simpler way of handling things and still obtains results quite similar to those yielde...

Conventional wisdom states that Newton's force law implies only four noncompact dimensions. We demonstrate that this is not necessarily true in the presence of a nonfactorizable background geometry. The specific example ...
