On Newtonian singularities in higher derivative gravity models
Leonardo Modesto, Tibério de Paula Netto, Ilya L. Shapiro
We consider the problem of Newtonian singularity in the wide class of higher derivative gravity models, including the ones which are renormalizable and super-renormalizable at the…
Quantum spectral dimension in quantum field theory
Gianluca Calcagni, Leonardo Modesto, Giuseppe Nardelli
We reinterpret the spectral dimension of spacetimes as the scaling of an effective self-energy transition amplitude in quantum field theory (QFT), when the system is probed at a gi…
Super-renormalizable & Finite Gravitational Theories
Leonardo Modesto, Leslaw Rachwal
We hereby introduce and extensively study a class of non-polynomial higher derivative theories of gravity that realize a ultraviolet (UV) completion of Einstein general relativity.…
Nonlocal quantum gravity and M-theory
Gianluca Calcagni, Leonardo Modesto
We construct a ultraviolet completion of the bosonic sector of 11-dimensional supergravity motivated by string field theory. We start from a general class of theories characterized…
Multidimensional finite quantum gravity
Leonardo Modesto
We advance a class of unitary higher derivative theories of gravity that realize an ultraviolet completion of Einstein general relativity in any dimension. This range of theories i…
