Aspects of Exactly Solvable Quantum-Corrected 2D Dilaton Gravity Theories

Abstract

After reviewing the basic aspects of the exactly solvable quantum-corrected dilaton-gravity theories in two dimensions, we discuss a (subjective) selection of other aspects: a) supersymmetric extensions, b) canonical formalism, ADM-mass, and the functional integral measure, and c) a positive energy theorem and its application to the ADM- and Bondi-masses.
