Dimension and Dimensional Reduction in Quantum Gravity
read the original abstract
A number of very different approaches to quantum gravity contain a common thread, a hint that spacetime at very short distances becomes effectively two dimensional. I review this evidence, starting with a discussion of the physical meaning of "dimension" and concluding with some speculative ideas of what dimensional reduction might mean for physics.

Cosmology of fractional gravity
Fractional gravity yields stable de Sitter expansion and exact bouncing solutions driven by phantom (w < -1) or ghost (negative energy) fluids, with results independent of the form-factor representation.

Noether charges and the first law of thermodynamics for multifractional Schwarzschild black hole in the q-derivative theory
Multi-fractional Schwarzschild black holes have profile-insensitive Noether mass and geometric area-law entropy, but require an extended first law with work terms for the q-profile parameters to restore integrability ...

Hawking area law in quantum gravity
Exact Hawking area law from black hole mergers restricts quantum gravity to singular Ricci-flat or specific regular black holes in Stelle and nonlocal theories, derives the standard entropy-area law, and realizes Barr...
