Abstract: Some nondifferentiable quantities (for example, the metric signature) can be the independent physical degrees of freedom. It is supposed that in quantum gravity these degrees of freedom can fluctuate. Two examples of such quantum fluctuation are considered: a quantum interchange of the sign of two components of the 5D metric and a quantum fluctuation between Euclidean and Lorentzian metrics. The first case leads to a spin-like structure on the throat of composite wormhole and to a possible inner structure of the string. The second case leads to a quantum birth of the non-singular Euclidean Universe with frozen $5^{th}$ dimension. The probability for such quantum fluctuations is connected with an algorithmical complexity of the Einstein equations.

Review text

This interesting paper is devoted to the quantum gravity. Some nondifferentiable quantities (the metric signature for instance) can be the independent physical degrees of freedom. It is supposed that in quantum gravity these degrees of freedom can fluctuate. Two examples of such quantum fluctuation are considered: a quantum interchange of the sign of two components of the 5D metric and a quantum fluctuation between Euclidean and Lorentzian metrics. The first case leads to a spin-like structure on the throat of a composite wormhole and to a possible inner structure of the string. The second case leads to a quantum birth of the non-singular Euclidean Universe with frozen 5th dimension. The probability for such quantum fluctuations is connected with an algorithmical complexity of the Einstein equations. The author concludes that there is a possibility for the idea presented here to have some connection with the 't Hooft stochastic quantization model.
