New classes of black hole (BH), wormhole (WH), and cosmological solutions involving nonmetricity and torsion fields were constructed. Nevertheless, the fundamental problems of formulating nonmetric Einstein–Dirac–Maxwell (EDM), equations, and study of important nonmetric gravitational, electromagnetic and fermion effects, have not been solved in MGTs. The main goal of this work is to elaborate on a model of nonmetric EDM theory as a generalization of f(Q) gravity. The authors developed anholonomic frame and connection deformation method which allowed authors to decouple in general form and integrate nonmetric gravitational and matter fields equations. New classes of generated quasi-stationary solutions are defined by effective sources with Dirac and Maxwell fields, nonmetricity and torsion fields, and generating functions depending, in general, on all space-time coordinates. For respective nonholonomic parameterizations, such solutions describe nonmetric EDM deformations of BH and cosmological metrics. Variants of nonmetric BH, WH, and toroid solutions with locally anisotropic polarizations of the gravitational vacuum and masses of fermions, and effective electromagnetic sources, are constructed and analyzed. Such nonmetric deformed physical objects cannot be characterized in the framework of the Bekenstein–Hawking paradigm if certain effective horizon/holographic configurations are not involved. It is shown how to define and compute other types of nonmetric geometric thermodynamic variables using generalizations of the concept of G.

However, the effective evaluation of the scalar product remains an obstacle for the applicability of the theory. Inspired by decimation techniques for the computation of the partition function in statistical mechanics, an analytical technique is introduced for the exact evaluation of hexagonal spin-networks of arbitrary size, and describe the corresponding algorithm for the evaluation of the physical scalar product defined by Noui and Perez. The transition amplitudes on certain classes of spin-networks with both classical and quantum recoupling are investigated, obtaining a “continuous” spectrum of the transitions for the former and a discrete one for the latter.

They model a larger class of field theories, including non-conservative behavior, while maintaining a well-defined notion of symmetries and a Noether theorem. This makes them especially suited for open systems. After a conceptual introduction, a quick presentation of a new mathematical framework is made for action-dependent field theory: <i>multicontact geometry</i>. The formalism is illustrated with a variety of action-dependent Lagrangians, some of which are regular and others singular, derived from well-known theories whose Lagrangians have been modified to incorporate action-dependent terms. Detailed computations are provided, including the constraint algorithm for the singular cases, in both the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms.
