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.

Canonical quantization of all minisuperspaces with consistent symmetry reductions
All minisuperspaces from symmetry reductions of the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian that obey the principle of symmetric criticality are canonically quantized and their Wheeler-DeWitt equations are solved.
