Aspects of Quantum Gravity in Cosmology
arXiv:1201.4543 · doi:10.1142/S021773231230008X
Abstract
We review some aspects of quantum gravity in the context of cosmology. In particular, we focus on models with a phenomenology accessible to current and near-future observations, as the early Universe might be our only chance to peep through the quantum gravity realm.
