Vacuum Fluctuations and the Small Scale Structure of Spacetime
S. Carlip, R. A. Mosna, J. P. M. Pitelli
We show that vacuum fluctuations of the stress-energy tensor in two-dimensional dilaton gravity lead to a sharp focusing of light cones near the Planck scale, effectively breaking…

n-Dimensional FLRW Quantum Cosmology
P. S. Letelier, J. P. M. Pitelli
We introduce the formalism of quantum cosmology in a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe of arbitrary dimension filled with a perfect fluid with equation of…

Quantum Singularities in Static Spacetimes
J. P. M. Pitelli, P. S. Letelier
We review the mathematical framework necessary to understand the physical content of quantum singularities in static spacetimes. We present many examples of classical singular spac…
