Description

Loop quantum gravity is a background independent, non-perturbative approach to quantum gravity. The focus of this session is on the structure of the theory, its computational techniques and applications to cosmology and black hole physics. We welcome talks reporting recent developments in canonical loop quantum gravity, spin-foam models, group field theory and related approaches to quantum gravity. The common theme is the background independent quantization of Einstein's gravity and the occurrence of quantum geometry. Loop quantum cosmology and reduced quantum models of black holes will be discussed in the separate session QG3.
