Introduction to Loop Quantum Gravity
arXiv:1201.4598 · doi:10.1007/978-3-642-33036-0_2
Abstract
This article is based on the opening lecture at the third quantum geometry and quantum gravity school sponsored by the European Science Foundation and held at Zakopane, Poland in March 2011. The goal of the lecture was to present a broad perspective on loop quantum gravity for young researchers. The first part is addressed to beginning students and the second to young researchers who are already working in quantum gravity.
