On the Origin of Gravity and the Laws of Newton
read the original abstract
Starting from first principles and general assumptions Newton's law of gravitation is shown to arise naturally and unavoidably in a theory in which space is emergent through a holographic scenario. Gravity is explained as an entropic force caused by changes in the information associated with the positions of material bodies. A relativistic generalization of the presented arguments directly leads to the Einstein equations. When space is emergent even Newton's law of inertia needs to be explained. The equivalence principle leads us to conclude that it is actually this law of inertia whose origin is entropic.

Holographic duality from a four-fermion interaction: emergent AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$, D-branes, and Einstein gravity
The bosonic AdS3/CFT2 duality emerges from the Gross-Neveu model via higher-spin composites and fluctuations in competing spin-0 and spin-1 condensates that define the radial bulk coordinate.

Minimal noise in non-quantized gravity
Non-quantized gravity models that preserve Galilean invariance and reproduce Newtonian interaction on average require a minimal noise injection to remain non-entangling.

Spherically symmetric black holes in Gravity from Entropy and spontaneous emission
In the Gravity from Entropy framework, spherically symmetric black holes acquire r^{-4} corrections to Schwarzschild geometry, with large-mass evaporation at constant rate -β/24 and intermediate-mass loss following th...

Eckart heat-flux applicability in $F(\Phi,X)R$ theories and the existence of temperature gradients
Eckart heat flux holds for all timelike scalar configurations in F(Φ,X)R + G theories if and only if F_X ≡ 0, reducing the theory to a Jordan-like subclass of Horndeski.

Entropy considerations in Many-Body Gravity and General Relativity, and the impact on cosmic inflation
MBG reproduces cosmic inflation naturally from its 5D entropic equations once interacting massless scalars resolve a QFT-derived time-interaction inconsistency.

GR from RG: Gravity Is Induced From Renormalization Group Flow In The Infrared
Holographic RG flow induces gravity by evolving boundary conditions from rigid Dirichlet to mixed Dirichlet-Neumann, generating an Einstein-Hilbert term and evading the Weinberg-Witten theorem.

Geometric realization of stress-tensor deformed field theory
Stress-tensor deformations of QFTs are mapped to gravitational actions at metric saddles, with bidirectional examples and an induced Newton constant from the one-loop effective action of a massive scalar.

Slow-roll inflation in (dual) Kaniadakis cosmology
The authors derive modified Friedmann equations from Kaniadakis entropy, compute inflationary observables, and find that Planck data require the deformation parameter kappa to be strongly suppressed in the standard ca...

Uncertainty Principles and Maximum Entropic Force
Quantum gravity corrections via GUP, EUP, GEUP and LQGUP make the maximum entropic force depend on the uncertainty principles' dimensionless parameters and, for EUP, on the number of Planck areas composing the effective area.
