The Canonical Approach to Quantum Gravity: General Ideas and Geometrodynamics
arXiv:gr-qc/0611141 · doi:10.1007/978-3-540-71117-9_8
Abstract
We give an introduction to the canonical formalism of Einstein's theory of general relativity. This then serves as the starting point for one approach to quantum gravity called quantum geometrodynamics. The main features and applications of this approach are briefly summarized.
