Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As well known, symmetries in physics represent a useful and powerful tool to solve or simplify many physical problems, ranging from classical to quantum physics. For example, spacetime symmetries are essential for understanding, interpreting, classifying, and finding exact solutions in general relativity, or exploring possible formulations of quantum gravity.
This Special Issue aims to collect papers representing both original research and reviews on recent progress on a broad range of arguments, from the use of spacetime symmetries in general relativity, modified and loop quantum gravity, string theory, non-commutative spacetimes, gauge theories, extensions of the standard particle model, and modular theory. It also includes, for example, issues related to the implementation or deformation of classical symmetries at a quantum level or the study of supertranslations for black hole physics.
We would like to address these issues and arguments in this Special Issue. We thus invite our colleagues to submit their articles covering the above topics and arguments or related ones. All submitted articles, including review articles, should include clear purposes, results, and conclusions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
