| Summary: | Progress on problems in quantum gravity and QCD, made during the period 9/92--9/93, and proposed research for the coming year, are summarized. Over the last year the author has proposed a dynamic mechanism underlying the observed Lorentzian signature of spacetime, and also a new quantization scheme for gravity, based on a transfer matrix approach. This transfer matrix formulation is not only a possible solution for the well-known {open_quotes}problem of time{close_quotes} in quantum gravity, but also predicts that Newtoǹs constant is not really a constant -- it should be subject to quantum fluctuations. In addition, together with two European collaborators, the author has done some further work on the abelian projection model of quark confinement. This work in quantum gravity and QCD has been reported in various publications, and the author briefly describes each of these investigations. |
