Observables in effective gravity
Steven B. Giddings, Donald Marolf, James B. Hartle
We address the construction and interpretation of diffeomorphism-invariant observables in a low-energy effective theory of quantum gravity. The observables we consider are construc…

Dynamics of warped compactifications and the shape of the warped landscape
Steven B. Giddings, Anshuman Maharana
The dynamics of warped/flux compactifications is studied, including warping effects, providing a firmer footing for investigation of the "landscape." We present a general formula f…

Gravity and strings
Steven B. Giddings
This is a broad-brush review of how string theory addresses several important questions of gravitational physics. The problem of non-renormalizability is first reviewed, followed b…
