Probing TeV gravity with extensive air-showers
Maximo Ave, Eun-Joo Ahn, Marco Cavaglia +1
Particle collisions with center-of-mass energy larger than the fundamental gravitational scale can generate non perturbative gravitational objects such as black holes and branes. I…
FRW Cosmological Solutions in M-theory
Marco Cavaglia, Paulo Vargas Moniz
We present the canonical and quantum cosmological investigation of a four-dimensional, spatially flat, Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) model that is derived from the bosonic Neveu…
Static Quantization of Two-dimensional Dilaton Gravity and Black Holes
Marco Cavaglia, Vittorio de Alfaro
Two-dimensional matterless dilaton gravity is a topological theory and can be classically reduced to a (0+1)-dimensional theory with a finite number of degrees of freedom. If quant…
The Birkhoff theorem for topologically massive gravity
Marco Cavaglia
We derive the general solution of topologically massive gravity in vacuum and in presence of a cosmological constant. The field equations reduce to three-dimensional…
Geometrodynamical Formulation of Two-Dimensional Dilaton Gravity and the Quantum Birkhoff Theorem
Marco Cavaglia
General two-dimensional pure dilaton-gravity can be discussed in a unitary way by introducing suitable field redefinitions. The new fields are directly related to the original spac…
Integrable Models in Two-Dimensional Dilaton Gravity
Marco Cavaglia
We briefly present two-dimensional dilaton gravity from the point of view of integrable systems.
