All generalised dilaton theories from gravities
Johanna Borissova
We demonstrate that generic two-dimensional Horndeski theories can arise from the reduction of pure gravities in dimensions, and therefore generic onshell configurations…
A non-local way around the no-global-symmetries conjecture in quantum gravity?
Johanna Borissova, Astrid Eichhorn, Shouryya Ray
The no-global-symmetries conjecture is central to the swampland program that delineates the boundary between effective field theories that can be obtained from a quantum theory of…
From area metric backgrounds to the cosmological constant and corrections to the Polyakov action
Johanna Borissova, Pei-Ming Ho
Area metrics and area metric backgrounds provide a unified framework for quantum gravity. They encode physical degrees of freedom beyond those of a metric. These non-metric degrees…
Lorentzian quantum gravity via Pachner moves: one-loop evaluation
Johanna N. Borissova, Bianca Dittrich
Lorentzian quantum gravity is believed to cure the pathologies encountered in Euclidean quantum gravity, such as the conformal factor problem. We show that this is the case for the…
