We discuss some problems related to dimensional reductions of gravity theories to two-dimensional and one-dimensional dilaton gravity models. We first consider the most general cylindrical reductions of the four-dimensional gravity and derive the corresponding (1+1)-dimensional dilaton gravity, paying a special attention to a possibility of producing nontrivial cosmological potentials from pure geometric variables (so to speak, from `nothing). Then we discuss further reductions of two-dimensional theories to the dimension one by a general procedure of separating the space and time variables. We illustrate this by the example of the spherically reduced gravity coupled to scalar matter. This procedure is more general than the usual `naive reduction and apparently more general than the reductions using group theoretical methods. We also explain in more detail the earlier proposed `static-cosmological duality (SC-duality) and discuss some unusual cosmologies and static states which can be obtained by using the method of separating the space and time variables.

We discuss the AdS/CFT correspondence in which space-time emerges from an interacting theory of D-branes and open strings. These ideas have a historical continuity with QCD which is an interacting theory of quarks and gluons. In particular we review
the classic case of D3 branes and the non-conformal D1 brane system. We outline by some illustrative examples the calculations that are enabled in a strongly coupled gauge theory by correspondence with dynamical horizons in semi-classical gravity in one higher dimension. We also discuss implications of the gauge-fluid/gravity correspondence for the information paradox of black hole physics.
We demonstrate an equivalence between two integrable flows defined in a polynomial ring quotiented by an ideal generated by a polynomial. This duality of integrable systems allows us to systematically exploit the Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy and its t
au-function to propose amplitudes for non-compact topological gravity on Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. We thus quantise topological gravity coupled to non-compact topological matter and demonstrate that this phase of topological gravity at N=2 matter central charge larger than three is equivalent to the phase with matter of central charge smaller than three.
Alday, Gaiotto, and Tachikawa conjectured relations between certain 4d N=2 supersymmetric field theories and 2d Liouville conformal field theory. We study generalizations of these relations to 4d theories with surface operators. For one type of surfa
ce operators the corresponding 2d theory is the WZW model, and for another type - the Liouville theory with insertions of extra degenerate fields. We show that these two 4d theories with surface operators exhibit an IR duality, which reflects the known relation (the so-called separation of variables) between the conformal blocks of the WZW model and the Liouville theory. Furthermore, we trace this IR duality to a brane creation construction relating systems of M5 and M2 branes in M-theory. Finally, we show that this duality may be expressed as an explicit relation between the generating functions for the changes of variables between natural sets of Darboux coordinates on the Hitchin moduli space.
We introduce generalized dimensional reductions of an integrable 1+1-dimensional dilaton gravity coupled to matter down to one-dimensional static states (black holes in particular), cosmological models and waves. An unusual feature of these reduction
s is the fact that the wave solutions depend on two variables - space and time. They are obtained here both by reducing the moduli space (available due to complete integrability) and by a generalized separation of variables (applicable also to non integrable models and to higher dimensional theories). Among these new wave-like solutions we have found a class of solutions for which the matter fields are finite everywhere in space-time, including infinity. These considerations clearly demonstrate that a deep connection exists between static states, cosmologies and waves. We argue that it should exist in realistic higher-dimensional theories as well. Among other things we also briefly outline the relations existing betweenthe low-dimensional models that we have discussed hereand the realistic higher-dimensional ones. This paper develops further some ideas already present in our previous papers. We briefly reproduce here (without proof) their main results in a more concise form and give an important generalization.
In the investigation and resolution of the cosmological constant problem the inclusion of the dynamics of quantum gravity can be a crucial step. In this work we suggest that the quantum constraints in a canonical theory of gravity can provide a way o
f addressing the issue: we consider the case of two-dimensional quantum dilaton gravity non-minimally coupled to a U(1) gauge field, in the presence of an arbitrary number of massless scalar matter fields, intended also as an effective description of highly symmetrical higher-dimensional models. We are able to quantize the system non-perturbatively and obtain an expression for the cosmological constant Lambda in terms of the quantum physical states, in a generalization of the usual QFT approach. We discuss the role of the classical and quantum gravitational contributions to Lambda and present a partial spectrum of values for it.
