Functional Schroedinger and BRST Quantization of (1+1)--Dimensional Gravity
E. Benedict, R. Jackiw, H. -J. Lee
We discuss the quantization of pure string--inspired dilaton--gravity in --dimensions, and of the same theory coupled to scalar matter. We perform the quantization using the…

Entanglement Entropy of Nontrivial States
Eric Benedict, So-Young Pi
We study the entanglement entropy arising from coherent states and one--particle states. We show that it is possible to define a finite entanglement entropy by subtracting the vacu…

A Comparison of Two Quantization Procedures for Lineal Gravity
Eric Benedict
We consider two programs for quantizing gravity in dimensions, which have appeared in the literature: one using a gauge--theoretic approach and the other following a more con…
