Sakharov's 1967 notion of ``induced gravity'' is currently enjoying a significant resurgence. The basic idea, originally presented in a very brief 3-page paper with a total of 4 formulas, is that gravity is not ``fundamental'' in the sense of particle physics. Instead it was argued that gravity (general relativity) emerges from quantum field theory in roughly the same sense that hydrodynamics or continuum elasticity theory emerges from molecular physics. In this article I will translate the key ideas into modern language, and explain the various versions of Sakharov's idea currently on the market.

  1. Relational Quantum Causal Processes: Exact Models, Continuum Limits, and the Boundary of Emergent Gravity

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Relational quantum causal processes are shown to generate Boolean records, DAG causal order, and Lorentzian metric-measure geometry in controlled models, with autonomous background-free gravity left open.

  2. Higher-spin composites and emergent AdS$_3$ geometry in the $(1+1)$-dimensional Gross-Neveu model

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper proposes that condensate competition in the 2d Gross-Neveu model generates an emergent AdS₃ bulk, a higher-spin tower, D1-branes, and linearized Einstein gravity with G₃ = ℓ_AdS/4πN².

  3. Emergent gravitational action from non-local $T\bar T$-like deformations

    hep-th 2026-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Non-local T-bar-T-like deformations induce model-dependent gravitational terms in free theories and a C_T-dependent sector in CFTs, but the claimed universal CFT result is incomplete because a non-negligible global re...

    gr-qc 2025-07 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper claims that the dark energy density equals the Planck-scale gluon zero-point energy divided by N = (R_u/R_p)^3 ≈ 10^123, with each QCD domain mapping to a Planck-area patch on the cosmic horizon.

    gr-qc 2025-07 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A review of Takesaki crossed product duality plus an unproven conjecture that modular Hamiltonian evolution of vacuum fluctuations is the microscopic mechanism of gravitational time dilation.

  6. Induced quantum gravity from QFT vector models

    gr-qc 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Reviews basic definitions and properties of QFT vector models for induced quantum gravity and points out directions for future research.

  7. Spectral Noncommutative Geometry, Standard Model and all that

    hep-th 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Review of spectral noncommutative geometry applied to the Standard Model, including bosonic and fermionic actions, Euclidean vs Lorentz issues, and going beyond the SM.
